Exodus 35:20-35 ▼

20 Then the whole congregation of Israel (he wrestles with God) withdrew from the presence of Moses (drawn out).

21 And everyone whose heart stirred him and whose spirit {ruachow} prompted him came and brought an offering to the LORD {YHWH} for the work on the Tent of Meeting, for all its services, and for the holy garments.

22 So all who had willing hearts, both men and women, came and brought brooches and earrings, rings and necklaces, and all kinds of gold jewelry. And they all presented their gold as a wave offering to the LORD {YHWH}.

23 Everyone who had blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen, goat hair, ram skins dyed red, or articles of fine leather, brought them.

24 And all who could present an offering of silver or bronze brought it as a contribution to the LORD {YHWH}. Also, everyone who had acacia wood for any part of the service brought it.

25 Every skilled woman spun with her hands and brought what she had spun: blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen.

26 And all the skilled women whose hearts were stirred spun the goat hair.

27 The leaders brought onyx stones and gemstones to mount on the ephod and breastpiece,

28 as well as spices and olive oil for the light, for the anointing oil, and for the fragrant incense.

29 So all the men and women of the Israelites (God prevails) whose hearts prompted them brought a freewill offering to the LORD {YHWH} for all the work that the LORD through Moses (drawn out) had commanded them to do.

30 Then Moses (drawn out) said to the Israelites (God prevails), “See, the LORD {YHWH} has called by name Bezalel (in the shadow of God) son of Uri (fiery), the son of Hur (hole), of the tribe of Judah (praised).

31 And He has filled him with the Spirit of God {Ruach Elohim}, 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 (Father's tent) son of Ahisamach (my brother has supported), of the tribe of Dan (He has judged), 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.
