2Then MosesH4872 calledH7121 BezalelH1212 and OholiabH171 and everyH3605 4skillfulH2450H3820 personH376 in 5whomH834 the LordH3068 had putH5414 6skillH2451, 7everyoneH3605 whoseH834 heartH3820 stirredH5375 him, to comeH7126 to the workH4399 to performH6213 it. 3They receivedH3947 from MosesH4872 allH3605 the 8contributionsH8641 whichH834 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 had broughtH935 9to performH6213 the workH4399 10in the constructionH5656 of the sanctuaryH6944. And they stillH5750 continued bringingH935 to him freewillH5071 offeringsH5071 everyH1242 morningH1242. 4And allH3605 the 11skillfulH2450 menH2450 who were performingH6213 allH3605 the workH4399 of the sanctuaryH6944 cameH935, eachH376 from 12the workH4399 whichH834 13he was performingH6213, 5and they saidH559 to 14MosesH4872, “15The peopleH5971 are bringingH935 muchH7235 moreH7235 thanH4480 enoughH1767 for the 16constructionH5656 workH5656 whichH834 the LordH3068 commandedH6680 us to 17performH6213.” 6So MosesH4872 issuedH6680 a commandH6680, and a 18proclamationH6963 was circulatedH5674 throughout the campH4264, sayingH559, “Let noH408 manH376 orH408 womanH802 anyH5750 longerH5750 performH6213 workH4399 for the 19contributionsH8641 of the sanctuaryH6944.” Thus the peopleH5971 were restrainedH3607 from bringingH935 any more. 720For the 21materialH4399 they hadH1961 was sufficientH1767 and moreH3498 thanH3498 enoughH3498 for allH3605 the workH4399, to performH6213 it.
