| 20Then all the congregation of the people of Israel departed from the presence of Moses. | 20Then the whole Israelite community withdrew from Moses' presence, |
| 21And they came, everyone whose heart stirred him, and everyone whose spirit moved him, and brought the LORD’s contribution to be used for the tent of meeting, and for all its service, and for the holy garments. | 21and everyone who was willing and whose heart moved them came and brought an offering to the LORD for the work on the tent of meeting, for all its service, and for the sacred garments. |
| 22So they came, both men and women. All who were of a willing heart brought brooches and earrings and signet rings and armlets, all sorts of gold objects, every man dedicating an offering of gold to the LORD. | 22All who were willing, men and women alike, came and brought gold jewelry of all kinds: brooches, earrings, rings and ornaments.

| 29All the men and women, the people of Israel, whose heart moved them to bring anything for the work that the LORD had commanded by Moses to be done brought it as a freewill offering to the LORD. | 29All the Israelite men and women who were willing brought to the LORD freewill offerings for all the work the LORD through Moses had commanded them to do. |
| 30Then Moses said to the people of Israel, “See, the LORD has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; | 30Then Moses said to the Israelites, "See, the LORD has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, |

| 32to devise artistic designs, to work in gold and silver and bronze, | 32to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, |
| 33in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, for work in every skilled craft. | 33to cut and set stones, to work in wood and to engage in all kinds of artistic crafts. |
| 34And he has inspired him to teach, both him and Oholiab the son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan. | 34And he has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others. |
| 35He has filled them with skill to do every sort of work done by an engraver or by a designer or by an embroiderer in blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen, or by a weaver—by any sort of workman or skilled designer. | 35He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers--all of them skilled workers and designers. |
