Exodus 35:30-35

Sabbath Rest and Willing Contributions for the Tabernacle

Moses gathers the whole community, restates the Sabbath command, prohibits kindling fire on the Sabbath, calls for willing contributions of materials for the tabernacle, identifies the needed items and furnishings, summons skilled workers, receives generous offerings from men and women, records the costly materials brought by leaders and people, and announces that Bezalel and Oholiab have been filled with the Spirit and gifted to lead the work.

30 Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the LORD has called by name Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

31 And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,

32 to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze,

33 to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every artistic craft.

34 And the LORD has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.

35 He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and as weavers—as artistic designers of every kind of craft.
