Oholiab and Bezalel

1 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “See, I have called by name ^xBezalel the son of Uri, son of ^yHur, of the tribe of Judah, 3 and I have ^zfilled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with knowledge and all craftsmanship, 4 to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze, 5 in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, to work in every craft. 6 And behold, I have appointed with him ^aOholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. And I have given to all able men ^bability, that they may make all that I have commanded you: 7 ^cthe tent of meeting, and ^dthe ark of the testimony, and ^ethe mercy seat that is on it, and all the furnishings of the tent, 8 ^fthe table and its utensils, and ^gthe pure lampstand with all its utensils, and ^hthe altar of incense, 9 and ⁱthe altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and ^jthe basin and its stand, 10 and ^kthe finely worked garments,¹ the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, for their service as priests, 11 and ^lthe anointing oil and the fragrant ^mincense for the Holy Place. According to all that I have commanded you, they shall do.”

Construction of the Tabernacle

30 ^gThen Moses said to the people of Israel, “See, the Lord has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; 31 and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with ^hskill, with intelligence, with knowledge, and with all craftsmanship, 32 to devise artistic designs, to work in gold and silver and bronze, 33 in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, for work in every skilled craft. 34 And he has inspired him to teach, both him and Oholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan. 35 He has ^hfilled them with skill to do every sort of work done by an engraver or by a designer or by an embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, or by a weaver—by any sort of workman or skilled designer.
