Exodus 35:25-35

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

26and all the women whose heart stirred them to action and who were skilled spun goats’ hair.

27The leaders brought onyx stones and other gems to be mounted for the ephod and the breastpiece,

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

29The Israelites brought a freewill offering to the Lord, every man and woman whose heart was willing to bring materials for all the work that the Lord through Moses had commanded them to do.

30Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the Lord has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

31He has filled him with the Spirit of God – with skill, with understanding, with knowledge, and in all kinds of work,

32to design artistic designs, to work in gold, in silver, and in bronze,

33and in cutting stones for their setting, and in cutting wood, to do work in every artistic craft.

34And he has put it in his heart to teach, he and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.

35He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as craftsmen, as designers, as embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and in fine linen, and as weavers. They are craftsmen in all the work and artistic designers.
