Exodus 31:1-11 ▼

1 Then the LORD {YHWH} said to Moses (drawn out),

2 “See, I have called by name Bezalel (in the shadow of God) son of Uri (fiery), the son of Hur (hole), of the tribe of Judah (praised).

3 And I have filled him with the Spirit of God {Ruach Elohim}, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,

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

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

6 Moreover, I have selected Oholiab (Father's tent) son of Ahisamach (my brother has supported), of the tribe of Dan (He has judged), as his assistant. I have also given skill to all the craftsmen, that they may fashion all that I have commanded you:

7 the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony (the ark of the covenant) and the mercy seat upon it, and all the other furnishings of the tent—

8 the table with its utensils, the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense,

9 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its stand—

10 as well as the woven garments, both the holy garments for Aaron (light bringer) the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests,

11 in addition to the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them according to all that I have commanded you.”
