31 And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,
and he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;
32 to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze,
and to devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
33 to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every artistic craft.
and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of cunning workmanship.
34 And the LORD has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.
And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35 He 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 as weavers—as artistic designers of every kind of craft.
Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of workmanship, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any workmanship, and of those that devise cunning works.
