21
And they came, everyone whose heart was stirred, and everyone whose spirit was willing, and brought the Lord's offering to be used for the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the sacred vestments.
22 Both men and women gave bracelets and earrings, rings and tablets: every vessel of gold was set aside to be offered to the Lord.

Everyone who could make an offering of silver or bronze brought it as the Lord's offering; and everyone who possessed acacia wood of any use in the work, brought it.
25 The skilful women also gave such things as they had spun, violet, purple, and scarlet, and fine linen,
25
All the skillful women spun with their hands, and brought what they had spun in blue and purple and crimson yarns and fine linen;
26 And goats’ hair, giving all of their own accord.
26
all the women whose hearts moved them to use their skill spun the goats' hair.

30
Then Moses said to the Israelites: See, the Lord has called by name Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
31 And hath filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and understanding, and knowledge, and all learning,
31
he has filled him with divine spirit, with skill, intelligence, and knowledge in every kind of craft,
32 To devise and to work in gold and silver and brass,
32
to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze,
33 And in engraving stones, and in carpenters’ work. Whatsoever can be devised artificially,
33
in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, in every kind of craft.
34 He hath given in his heart: Ooliab also, the son of Achisamech, of the tribe of Dan:
34
And he has inspired him to teach, both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35 Both of them hath he instructed with wisdom, to do carpenters’ work, and tapestry, and embroidery in blue and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, and to weave all things, and to invent all new things.
35
He has filled them with skill to do every kind of work done by an artisan or by a designer or by an embroiderer in blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and in fine linen, or by a weaver—by any sort of artisan or skilled designer.
