1 [Moses continued,] |So Bezalel and Oholiab will do the work as the LORD has commanded. They will do this with the help of every other craftsman to whom the LORD has given the necessary skills and talents. They will know how to do all the work for constructing the holy place.| “Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whom the LORD has put skill and intelligence to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the LORD has commanded.” So Bezalel, Oholiab and every skilled person to whom the LORD has given skill and ability to know how to carry out all the work of constructing the sanctuary are to do the work just as the LORD has commanded.”
2 Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every other craftsman to whom the LORD had given these skills and who was willing to come and do the work. And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whose mind the LORD had put skill, everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to do the work. Then Moses summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person to whom the LORD had given ability and who was willing to come and do the work.
3 Moses turned over to them all the contributions the Israelites had brought for the work of constructing the holy place. But the people still kept bringing him freewill offerings every morning. And they received from Moses all the contribution that the people of Israel had brought for doing the work on the sanctuary. They still kept bringing him freewill offerings every morning, They received from Moses all the offerings the Israelites had brought to carry out the work of constructing the sanctuary. And the people continued to bring freewill offerings morning after morning.
4 Finally, all the skilled craftsmen who were working on the holy place stopped what they were doing. They all came to Moses. so that all the craftsmen who were doing every sort of task on the sanctuary came, each from the task that he was doing, So all the skilled workers who were doing all the work on the sanctuary left what they were doing
5 They said, |The people are bringing much more than we need for doing the work the LORD commanded us to do.| and said to Moses, “The people bring much more than enough for doing the work that the LORD has commanded us to do.” and said to Moses, “The people are bringing more than enough for doing the work the LORD commanded to be done.”
6 So Moses gave instructions to have the following message announced all over camp: |No man or woman needs to make anything more to give as their special contribution to the holy place.| Then the people stopped bringing gifts. So Moses gave command, and word was proclaimed throughout the camp, “Let no man or woman do anything more for the contribution for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing, Then Moses gave an order and they sent this word throughout the camp: “No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.” And so the people were restrained from bringing more,
7 The material they had was more than enough to do the job. for the material they had was sufficient to do all the work, and more. because what they already had was more than enough to do all the work.
