"Now
Bezalel and
Oholiab, and
every skillful * person in
whom the
LORD has
put skill and
understanding to
know how to
perform all the
work in the
construction of the
sanctuary, shall
perform in accordance with
all that the
LORD has
commanded."

Then
Moses called Bezalel and
Oholiab and
every skillful * person in
whom the
LORD had
put skill,
everyone whose heart stirred him, to
come to the
work to
perform it.

They
received from
Moses all the
contributions which the
sons of
Israel had
brought to
perform the
work in the
construction of the
sanctuary. And they
still continued
bringing to him
freewill offerings every morning.

And
all the

performing all the
work of the
sanctuary came,

and they
said to
Moses, "The
people are
bringing much more than enough for the
construction work which the
LORD commanded us to
perform."

So
Moses issued a
command, and a
proclamation was
circulated throughout the
camp,
saying, "Let
no man or woman any longer perform work for the
contributions of the
sanctuary." Thus the
people were
restrained from
bringing any more.

For the

had was
sufficient and
more than enough for
all the
work, to
perform it.

All the
skillful * men * among those who were
performing the
work made the
tabernacle with
ten curtains; of
fine twisted linen and
blue and
purple and
scarlet material, with
cherubim, the
work of a
skillful workman, Bezalel
made them.

The

twenty-eight * cubits and the
width of

all the
curtains had the
same measurements.
