31 Then Yahweh told Mosheh: 2 Listen, I’ve chosen a man named Bezalel (son of Uri, son of Hur, from Yehudah’s descendants) 3 and I’ve filled him with my spirit with wisdom, ability, knowledge, and general craftsmanship. 4 He’s capable of designing and creating gold, silver, and bronze works, 5 as well as cutting and setting gemstones, wood-carving, and other crafts. 6 And what’s more, I’ve appointed Oholiab (son of Ahisamak, from Dan’s descendants) to help him, and I’ve also given special ability to other skilled men so that they can make everything that I’ve instructed you:

• 7 the sacred tent,
• the box containing the stone slabs with the atonement platform on top of it,
• all the equipment for inside the sacred tent,
• 8 the table and its utensils,
• the gold lampstand and all its utensils,
• the altar for burning incense,
• 9 the altar for the burnt offerings and all its utensils,
• the washbasin with its base,
• 10 the woven clothes: the sacred clothes for Aharon the priest and his sons,
• 11 the anointing oil, and
• the fragrant incense for the sacred tent.

Those craftsmen must make everything exactly according to my instructions.

30 Then Mosheh said to the Israelis, “Listen, Yahweh has called Bezalel by name (the son of Hur’s son Uri, from the tribe of Judah) 31 and he has filled him with his spirit, with skill and understanding, and with knowledge and with all kinds of craftsmanship. 32 He can design designs, work in gold, silver, and bronze, 33 in cutting gemstones for setting, and in wood-carving—to do all kinds of design and crafting. 34 Yahweh has also given him the desire to teach, along with Oholiab (Ahisamak’s son from the tribe of Dan). 35 He’s given them both skills to do all the work of craftsmen and of skillful workmen and of embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and in the fine linen and of weavers—both as designers as well as the various, actual crafts.

36 Bezalel and Oholiab will do the work of constructing all the components of the sacred tent along with any others who’re like-minded and who have been given the necessary skills and understanding by Yahweh.”
