Exodus 35:30-36:7 - Bezalel and Oholiab
Moses told the Israelites what the Lord had told him about Bezalel and Oholiab.
Exodus 35:30-35
Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the LORD has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts– to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work in wood and to engage in all kinds of artistic craftsmanship. And he has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others. He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as craftsmen, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers–all of them master craftsmen and designers.
Moses requested Bezale and Oholiab and every skilled worker to come and do the work the Lord requested. The workers started making all the Lord had told them using the items that were donated. The Israelites keep bring their donation so much that Moses had to tell them to stop.
Exodus 36:6-7
Then Moses gave an order and they sent this word throughout the camp: “No man or woman is to make anything else as an offering for the sanctuary.” And so the people were restrained from bringing more, because what they already had was more than enough to do all the work.
