"Bezalel and Oholiab and 1every craftsman in whom the LORD has put skill and intelligence to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the LORD has commanded."
2
And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whose mind the LORD had put skill, everyone 2whose heart stirred him up to come to do the work.
3
And they received from Moses all the 3contribution that the people of Israel had brought for doing the work on the sanctuary. They still kept bringing him 4freewill offerings every morning,
4
so that all the craftsmen who were doing every sort of task on the sanctuary came, each from the task that he was doing,
5
and said to Moses, 5"The people bring much more than enough for doing the work that the LORD has commanded us to do."
6
So Moses gave command, and word was proclaimed throughout the camp, "Let no man or woman do anything more for the 6contribution for the sanctuary." So the people were restrained from bringing,
7
for the material they had was sufficient to do all the work, and more.

7And all the craftsmen among the workmen made the tabernacle with ten curtains. They were made of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet yarns, with cherubim skillfully worked.
9
The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the breadth of each curtain four cubits. All the curtains were the same size.
10
He coupled five curtains to one another, and the other five curtains he coupled to one another.
11
He made loops of blue on the edge of the outermost curtain of the first set. Likewise he made them on the edge of the outermost curtain of the second set.
12
He made fifty loops on the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was in the second set. The loops were opposite one another.
