²⁵ All the women who were ^(A)gifted artisans spun yarn with their hands, and brought what they had spun, of blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine linen. ²⁶ And all the women whose hearts ^[a]stirred with wisdom spun yarn of goats’ hair. ^27 (B)The rulers brought onyx stones, and the stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate, ²⁸ and ^(C)spices and oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the sweet incense. ²⁹ The children of Israel brought a ^(D)freewill offering to the Lord, all the men and women whose hearts were willing to bring material for all kinds of work which the Lord, by the hand of Moses, had commanded to be done.

The Artisans Called by God^(E)

³⁰ And Moses said to the children of Israel, “See, ^(F)the Lord has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; ³¹ and He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and understanding, in knowledge and all manner of workmanship, ³² to design artistic works, to work in gold and silver and bronze, ³³ in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of artistic workmanship.

³⁴ “And He has put in his heart the ability to teach, in him and ^(G)Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. ³⁵ He has ^(H)filled them with skill to do all manner of work of the engraver and the designer and the tapestry maker, in blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine linen, and of the weaver—those who do every work and those who design artistic works.

Building the Tabernacle

36 “And Bezalel and Aholiab, and every ^(A)gifted artisan in whom the Lord has put wisdom and understanding, to know how to do all manner of work for the service of the ^(B)sanctuary,^[a] shall do according to all that the Lord has commanded.”

The People Give More than Enough

² Then Moses called Bezalel and Aholiab, and every gifted artisan in whose heart the Lord had put wisdom, everyone ^(A)whose heart ^[a]was stirred, to come and do the work.
