Exodus 36 :: Amplified Bible (AMP)

The Tabernacle Underwritten

“Bezalel and Oholiab, and every skilled person in whom the LORD has put ability and understanding to know how to do all the work in the construction of the sanctuary, shall work according to all that the LORD has commanded.”

Exo 36:2

So Moses called Bezalel and Oholiab and every skilled person in whom the LORD had put ability, everyone whose heart stirred him, to come to do the work.

Exo 36:3

Exo 36:3They received from Moses all the offerings which the Israelites had brought for the construction of the sanctuary, to prepare it for service. And they continued to bring him freewill (voluntary) offerings every morning.

Exo 36:4

Exo 36:4And all the skilled men who were doing all the work on the sanctuary came, each one from the work which he was doing,

Exo 36:5

Exo 36:5and they said to Moses, “The people are bringing much more than enough for the construction work which the LORD commanded us to do.”

Exo 36:6

Exo 36:6So Moses issued a command, and it was proclaimed throughout the camp, “Let neither man nor woman do any more work for the sanctuary offering.” So the people were restrained from bringing anything more;

Exo 36:7

Exo 36:7for the material they had was sufficient and more than enough to do all the work.
