Exodus 36:1-8
36:1 So Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person
in whom the
Lord has put skill
and ability
to know how
to do all the work for the service
of the sanctuary are to do the work
according to all that the
Lord has commanded.”
36:2 Moses summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person in whom the Lord had put skill – everyone whose heart stirred him to volunteer to do the work,
36:3 and they received from Moses all the offerings the Israelites had brought to do the work for the service of the sanctuary, and they still continued to bring him a freewill offering each morning.
36:4 So all the skilled people who were doing all the work on the sanctuary came from the work they were doing
36:5 and told Moses, “The people are bringing much more than is needed for the completion of the work which the Lord commanded us to do!”
36:6 Moses instructed them to take his message throughout the camp, saying, “Let no man or woman do any more work for the offering for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing any more.
36:7 Now the materials were more than enough for them to do all the work.
The Building of the Tabernacle
36:8 All the skilled among those who were doing the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twisted linen and blue and purple and scarlet; they were made with cherubim that were the work of an artistic designer.
