Exodus 35:25-35
25All the women who were skilled in spinning yarn brought violet, purple, and bright red yarn, and fine linen, which they had made by hand.
26All the women who were willing and had the skill spun the goats’ hair.
27The leaders brought onyx stones and other precious stones to be set in the ⌞chief priest’s⌟ ephod and breastplate.
28They also brought the spices and the olive oil for the lamps, the anointing oil, and the sweet-smelling incense.
29Every Israelite man and woman who was willing brought all these items to the Lord as a freewill offering. They brought these items to be used to make everything the Lord had commanded through Moses.
30Then Moses said to the Israelites, “The Lord has chosen Bezalel, son of Uri and grandson of Hur, from the tribe of Judah.
31The Lord has filled Bezalel with the Spirit of God, making him highly skilled, resourceful, and knowledgeable in all trades.
32He’s a master artist familiar with gold, silver, and bronze.
33He knows how to cut and set stones and how to work with wood. He’s an expert in all trades.
34Also, the Lord has given Bezalel and Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan the ability to teach others.
35The Lord has made these men highly skilled in all trades. They can do the work of jewelers, carpenters, and designers. They know how to embroider violet, purple and bright red yarn on fine linen. They know how to weave yarn on a loom. They can do all kinds of trades. They are master artists.”
