Modern English Version

The Tabernacle Artisans^(A)

31 Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: ² See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. ³ I have filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of craftsmanship ⁴ to devise artistic works for work with gold, with silver, and with bronze, ⁵ and in the cutting of stones for settings, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of craftsmanship. ⁶ I, indeed, I have given him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, and I have given skill to all who are specially skilled, that they may make everything that I have commanded you: ⁷ the tent of meeting, the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is on it, and all the furniture of the tent, ⁸ the table and its utensils, and the pure lampstand with all its utensils, and the altar of incense, ⁹ the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin and its stand, ¹⁰ the woven garments, the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to minister as priests, ¹¹ the anointing oil and sweet incense for the holy place. They must make them according to all that I have commanded you.
