Exodus 31:1-11
International Standard Version
Craftsmen for the Tent
31 The Lord told Moses, 2 “Look, I’ve called[a] Uri’s son Bezalel, grandson of Hur from Judah’s tribe 3 and I’ve filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and all kinds of craftsmanship 4 to create plans[b] for work in gold, silver, and bronze, 5 and for cutting stones to set them, for carving wood, and for doing all kinds of craftsmanship. 6 Along with him I’m appointing Ahisamach’s son Oholiab from the tribe of Dan, and I’ve given wisdom[c] to all who are skilled[d] so they can make everything that I’ve commanded you, 7 including the Tent of Meeting, the Ark of the Testimony, the Mercy Seat[e] that is on it, all the furnishings of the tent— 8 the table and its furnishings, the lamp stand of pure gold,[f] all its furnishings, the altar of incense, 9 the altar for burnt offerings, its furnishings, the basin, its base, 10 the woven garments, the holy garments of Aaron the priest, the garments of his sons as they serve as priests, 11 the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them in accordance with everything that I commanded you.”
