Exodus 35:25-35

25All the women who were skilled in sewing and spinning prepared blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine linen cloth.

26All the women who were willing used their skills to spin the goat hair into yarn.

27The leaders brought onyx stones and the special gemstones to be set in the ephod and the priest’s chestpiece.

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

29So the people of Israel—every man and woman who was eager to help in the work the Lord had given them through Moses—brought their gifts and gave them freely to the Lord.

30Then Moses told the people of Israel, “The Lord has specifically chosen Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

31The Lord has filled Bezalel with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts.

32He is a master craftsman, expert in working with gold, silver, and bronze.

33He is skilled in engraving and mounting gemstones and in carving wood. He is a master at every craft.

34And the Lord has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach their skills to others.

35The Lord has given them special skills as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet thread on fine linen cloth, and weavers. They excel as craftsmen and as designers.
