Exodus 36:1–6

The Tabernacle Underwritten

¹“Now Bezalel and Oholiab, and every ¹skillful person in whom the Lord has put ²skill and understanding to know how to perform all the work ³in the construction of the sanctuary, shall perform in accordance with all that the Lord has commanded.”

²Then Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every ¹skillful person in ²whom the Lord had put ³skill, ^aeveryone whose heart stirred him, to come to the work to perform it.

³They received from Moses all the ¹contributions which the sons of Israel had brought ²to perform the work ³in the construction of the sanctuary. And they still continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning.

⁴And all the ¹skillful men who were performing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from ²the work which ³he was performing,

⁵and they said to ¹Moses, “^aThe people are bringing much more than enough for the ²construction work which the Lord commanded us to ³perform.”

⁶So Moses issued a command, and a ¹proclamation was circulated throughout the camp, saying, “Let no man or woman any longer perform work for the ²contributions of the sanctuary.” Thus the people were restrained from bringing any more.
