25 And all the [a]skilled women spun with their hands, and brought what they had spun, in violet, purple, and scarlet material, and in fine linen. 26 And all the women whose heart [b]stirred with a skill spun the goats’ hair. 27 The rulers, moreover, brought the onyx stones and the stones for setting for the ephod and for the [c]breastpiece; 28 and (A)the spice and the oil for the light and for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense. 29 The [d]Israelites, all the men and women, whose heart [e]moved them to bring material for all the work, which the Lord had commanded through Moses to be done, brought a (B)[f]voluntary offering to the Lord.

30 (C)Then Moses said to the sons of Israel, “See, 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, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all [g]craftsmanship; 32 to create [h]designs for working in gold, in silver, and in [i]bronze, 33 and in the cutting of stones for settings and in the carving of wood, so as to perform in every inventive work. 34 He also has put in his heart to teach, both he and (D)Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. 35 (E)He has filled them with [j]skill to perform every work of an engraver, of a designer, and of an embroiderer, in violet, purple, and in scarlet material, and in fine linen, and of a weaver, as performers of every work and makers of designs.
