1 Then wrought H6213 Bezaleel H1212 and Aholiab, H171 and every wise H2450 hearted H3820 man, H376 in whom H1992 the LORD H3068 put H5414 wisdom H2451 and understanding H8394 to know H3045 how to work H6213 all manner of work H4399 for the service H5656 of the sanctuary, H6944 according to all that the LORD H3068 had commanded. H6680
Beware H8104 of H6440 him, and obey H8085 his voice, H6963 provoke H4843 him not; for he will not pardon H5375 your transgressions: H6588 for my name H8034 is in him. H7130 But if thou shalt indeed H8085 obey H8085 his voice, H6963 and do H6213 all that I speak; H1696 then I will be an enemy H340 unto thine enemies, H341 and an adversary H6887 unto thine adversaries. H6696
And the LORD H3068 spake H1696 unto Moses, H4872 saying, H559 See, H7200 I have called H7121 by name H8034 Bezaleel H1212 the son H1121 of Uri, H221 the son H1121 of Hur, H2354 of the tribe H4294 of Judah: H3063 And I have filled H4390 him with the spirit H7307 of God, H430 in wisdom, H2451 and in understanding, H8394 and in knowledge, H1847 and in all manner of workmanship, H4399 To devise H2803 cunning works, H4284 to work H6213 in gold, H2091 and in silver, H3701 and in brass, H5178 And in cutting H2799 of stones, H68 to set H4390 them, and in carving H2799 of timber, H6086 to work H6213 in all manner of workmanship. H4399 And I, behold, I have given H5414 with him Aholiab, H171 the son H1121 of Ahisamach, H294 of the tribe H4294 of Dan: H1835 and in the hearts H3820 of all that are wise H2450 hearted H3820 I have put H5414 wisdom, H2451 that they may make H6213 all that I have commanded H6680 thee;
And Moses H4872 said H559 unto the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 See, H7200 the LORD H3068 hath called H7121 by name H8034 Bezaleel H1212 the son H1121 of Uri, H221 the son H1121 of Hur, H2354 of the tribe H4294 of Judah; H3063 And he hath filled H4390 him with the spirit H7307 of God, H430 in wisdom, H2451 in understanding, H8394 and in knowledge, H1847 and in all manner of workmanship; H4399 And to devise H2803 curious works, H4284 to work H6213 in gold, H2091 and in silver, H3701 and in brass, H5178 And in the cutting H2799 of stones, H68 to set H4390 them, and in carving H2799 of wood, H6086 to make H6213 any manner of cunning H4284 work. H4399 And he hath put H5414 in his heart H3820 that he may teach, H3384 both he, and Aholiab, H171 the son H1121 of Ahisamach, H294 of the tribe H4294 of Dan. H1835 Them hath he filled H4390 with wisdom H2451 of heart, H3820 to work H6213 all manner of work, H4399 of the engraver, H2796 and of the cunning workman, H2803 and of the embroiderer, H7551 in blue, H8504 and in purple, H713 in scarlet, H8144 H8438 and in fine linen, H8336 and of the weaver, H707 even of them that do H6213 any H3605 work, H4399 and of those that devise H2803 cunning work. H4284
And they received H3947 of H6440 Moses H4872 all the offering, H8641 which the children H1121 of Israel H3478 had brought H935 for the work H4399 of the service H5656 of the sanctuary, H6944 to make H6213 it withal. And they brought H935 yet unto him free offerings H5071 every morning. H1242 And all the wise men, H2450 that wrought H6213 all the work H4399 of the sanctuary, H6944 came H935 every man H376 from his work H4399 which they made; H6213

Commentary on Exodus 36 Keil & Delitzsch Commentary
Moses then summoned the master-builders named, and all who were skilled in art, “ every one whom his heart lifted up to come near to the work to do it ” (i.e., who felt himself stirred up in heart to take part in the work), and handed over to them the heaven-offering presented by the people for that purpose, whilst the children of Israel still continued bringing freewill-offerings every morning.
Then the wise workmen came, every one from his work that they were making, and said to Moses, “ Much make the people to bring, more than suffices for the labour (the finishing, as in Exodus 27:19) of the work, ” i.e., they are bringing more than will be wanted for carrying out the work (the מן in מדּי is comparative); whereupon Moses let the cry go through the camp, i.e., had proclamation made, “No one is to make any more property ( מלאכה as in Exodus 22:7, Exodus 22:10, cf. Genesis 33:14) for a holy heave-offering,” i.e., to prepare anything more from his own property to offer for the building of the sanctuary; and with this he put a stop to any further offerings.
“ And there was enough ( דּיּם their sufficiency, i.e., the requisite supply for the different things to be made) of the property for every work to make it, and over ” (lit., and to leave some over). By this liberal contribution of freewill gifts, for the work commanded by the Lord, the people proved their willingness to uphold their covenant relationship with Jehovah their God.
Ex 36:8-38:20. Execution of the Work. - Preparation of the dwelling-place: viz., the hangings and covering (Exodus 36:8-19, as in Exodus 26:1-14); the wooden boards and bolts (Exodus 36:20-34, as in Ex 26:15-30); the two curtains, with the pillars, hooks, and rods that supported them (Exodus 36:35-38, as in Exodus 26:31-37). As these have all been already explained, the only thing remaining to be noticed here is, that the verbs עשׂה in Exodus 36:8, ויחבּר in Exodus 36:10, etc., are in the third person singular with an indefinite subject, corresponding to the German man (the French on ).
