And Moses said unto the sons of Israel - See! Yahweh hath called by name, - Bezaleel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;

and filled him with the spirit of God, - in, wisdom in understanding and in knowledge, and in all manner of execution;

to devise skilful designs, - to work in gold and in silver and in bronze;

and in the cutting of stones for setting, and in the cutting of wood, - to work in any manner of skilful workmanship,

To teach also, hath be put in his heart, the heart of him, and of Oholiab - son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan;

hath filled them with wisdom of heart to work all manner of workmanship of cutter, and deviser and embroiderer, in blue and in purple, in crimson and in fine linen and of the weaver, - workers of any manner of workmanship, and devisers of skilful designs.

Thus shall Bezaleel and Oholiab work, and every man that is wise-hearted, in whom Yahweh hath put wisdom and understanding, to know how to work any manner of workmanship for the holy service, - according to all that Yahweh hath commanded.

So then Moses called upon Bezaleel, and upon Oholiab, and upon every man that was wise-hearted, in whose heart Yahweh had put wisdom, - every one whose heart lifted him up, to draw near unto the work, to do it.

And they took, from the presence of Moses, all the heave-offering which the sons of Israel had brought in for the work of the holy service to do it, - howbeit, they, brought in unto him yet more free-will offerings, meriting by morning.

Then came in all the wise men who were doing all the holy work, - man by man from his work which, they, were doing;

and spake unto Moses, saying, More than enough, are the people bringing in, - more than is needed for the service pertaining to the work; which Yahweh hath commanded to be done.

So Moses gave commandment and they passed a proclamation throughout the camp, saying, Let, neither man nor woman, make any more material for the holy heave-offering. So the people were restrained from bringing in.

For the material was enough for all the work, to make it, - and to spare.
