Exodus 36 :: Revised Standard Version (RSV)

Exo 36:1

Exo 36:1Bez'alel and Oho'liab and every able man in whom the LORD has put ability 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."

Exo 36:2

Exo 36:2And Moses called Bez'alel and Oho'liab and every able man in whose mind the LORD had put ability, every one whose heart stirred him up to come to do the work;

Exo 36:3

Exo 36:3and they received from Moses all the freewill offering which the people of Israel had brought for doing the work on the sanctuary. They still kept bringing him freewill offerings every morning,

Exo 36:4

Exo 36:4so that all the able men who were doing every sort of task on the sanctuary came, each from the task that he was doing,

Exo 36:5

Exo 36:5and said to Moses, "The people bring much more than enough for doing the work which the LORD has commanded us to do."

Exo 36:6

Exo 36:6So Moses gave command, and word was proclaimed throughout the camp, "Let neither man nor woman do anything more for the offering for the sanctuary." So the people were restrained from bringing;

Exo 36:7

Exo 36:7for the stuff they had was sufficient to do all the work, and more.
