| 1“Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whom the LORD has put skill and intelligence to know how to do any work in the construction of the sanctuary shall work in accordance with all that the LORD has commanded.” | 1So Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person in whom the LORD has put skill and ability to know how to do all the work for the service of the sanctuary are to do the work according to all that the LORD has commanded." |
| 2And Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every craftsman in whose mind the LORD had put skill, everyone whose heart stirred him up to come to do the work. | 2Moses summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person in whom the LORD had put skill--everyone whose heart stirred him to volunteer to do the work, |

They still kept bringing him freewill offerings every morning, | 3and they received from Moses all the offerings the Israelites had brought to do the work for the service of the sanctuary, and they still continued to bring him a freewill offering each morning. |
| 4so that all the craftsmen who were doing every sort of task on the sanctuary came, each from the task that he was doing, | 4So all the skilled people who were doing all the work on the sanctuary came from the work they were doing |
| 5and said to Moses, “The people bring much more than enough for doing the work that the LORD has commanded us to do.” | 5and told Moses, "The people are bringing much more than is needed for the completion of the work which the LORD commanded us to do!" |
| 6So Moses gave command, and word was proclaimed throughout the camp, “Let no man or woman do anything more for the contribution for the sanctuary.” So the people were restrained from bringing, | 6Moses instructed them to take his message throughout the camp, saying, "Let no man or woman do any more work for the offering for the sanctuary." So the people were restrained from bringing any more. |
| 7for the material they had was sufficient to do all the work, and more. | 7Now the materials were more than enough for them to do all the work. |
