and all those who felt moved to do so and who had a willing spirit came and brought an offering to the Lord for the work making the Tent of Meeting, for everything required for its services, and for the sacred clothing.

29 every man and woman of the sons of Israel (whom their heart has made willing to bring in for all the work which YHWH commanded to be done by the hand of Moses) brought in a willing-offering to YHWH.
All the Israelite men and women who were willing brought a freewill offering to the Lord for all the work in making what the Lord through Moses had ordered them to do.
30 And Moses says to the sons of Israel, “See, YHWH has called Bezaleel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, by name,
Then Moses told the Israelites, “The Lord chosen by name Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah.
31 and He fills him [with] the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work,
He has filled him with the Spirit of God giving him ability, creativity, and expertise in all kinds of craftsmanship.
32 even to devise inventions to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
He can produce designs in gold, silver, and bronze,
33 and in a carving of stones for settings, and in a carving of wood to work in any work of design.
he can cut gemstones to place in settings, and he can carve wood. He is a master of every craft.
34 And He has put [it] in his heart to direct, he and Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan;
The Lord has also given him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.
35 He has filled them with wisdom of heart to do every work, of engraver, and designer, and embroiderer (in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in linen), and weaver, who does any work, and of designers of designs.”
He has equipped them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple, and crimson thread, and finely-woven linen, and as weavers—in fact as skilled designers in all kinds of different crafts.
