Exodus 35:25–36:5

²⁵Every skilled woman^c spun with her hands and brought what she had spun—blue, purple or scarlet yarn or fine linen. ²⁶And all the women who were willing and had the skill spun the goat hair. ²⁷The leaders^d brought onyx stones and other gems^e to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece. ²⁸They also brought spices and olive oil for the light and for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense.^{f 29}All the Israelite men and women who were willing^g brought to the Lord freewill offerings^h for all the work the Lord through Moses had commanded them to do.

Bezalel and Oholiab

35:30–35pp—Ex 31:2–6

³⁰Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the Lord has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, ³¹and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skillsⁱ—³²to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, ³³to cut and set stones, to work in wood and to engage in all kinds of artistic crafts. ³⁴And he has given both him and Oholiab^j son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach^k others. ³⁵He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work^l as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers—all of them skilled workers and designers.

36So Bezalel, Oholiab and every skilled person^m to whom the Lord has given skill and ability to know how to carry out all the work of constructing the sanctuaryⁿ are to do the work just as the Lord has commanded.”

²Then Moses summoned Bezalel^o and Oholiab^p and every skilled person to whom the Lord had given ability and who was willing^q to come and do the work. ³They received from Moses all the offerings^r the Israelites had brought to carry out the work of constructing the sanctuary. And the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning. ⁴So all the skilled workers who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left what they were doing ⁵and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than enough^s for doing the work the Lord commanded to be done.”
