Construction leaders: Bezalel and Oholiab
1 The LORD spoke to Moses:
2
Look, I have chosen Bezalel, Uri's son and Hur's grandson from the tribe of Judah.
3
I have filled him with the divine spirit, with skill, ability, and knowledge for every kind of work.
4
He will be able to create designs; do metalwork in gold, silver, and copper;
5
cut stones for setting; carve wood; and do every kind of work.
6
I have also appointed with him Oholiab, Ahisamach's son from the tribe of Dan. To all who are skillful, I have given the skill to make everything that I have commanded you:
7
the meeting tent, the chest containing the covenant, the cover that is on top of it, all the tent's furnishings,
8
the table and its equipment, the pure lampstand with all its equipment, the incense altar,
9
the altar for entirely burned offerings with all its equipment, the washbasin with its stand,
10
the woven clothing, the holy clothes for Aaron the priest and for his sons for their service as priests,
