Exodus 36:2
Compare all
1 “And Bezalel and Aholiab, and every agifted artisan in whom the Lord has put wisdom and understanding, to know how to do all manner of work for the service of the bsanctuary, shall do according to all that the Lord has commanded.”  

The People Give More than Enough

2 Then Moses called Bezalel and Aholiab, and every gifted artisan in awhose heart the Lord had put wisdom, everyone whose heart1 was stirred, to come and do the work.  
3 And they received from Moses all the aoffering which the children of Israel bhad brought for the work of the service of making the sanctuary. So they continued bringing to him freewill offerings every morning.  
4 Then all the craftsmen who were doing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from the work he was doing,
5 and they spoke to Moses, saying, a“The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work which the Lord commanded us to do.”  
6 So Moses gave a commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, “Let neither man nor woman do any more work for the offering of the sanctuary.” And the people were restrained from bringing,
7 for the material they had was sufficient for all the work to be done—indeed too amuch.  

Building the Tabernacle

8 aThen all the gifted artisans among them who worked on the tabernacle made ten curtains woven of fine linen, and of blue, purple, and scarlet thread; with artistic designs of cherubim they made them.  
9 The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; the curtains were all the same size.

Exodus 36:2

And Moses called Bezaleel - "Even those whom God has qualified for, and inclined to the service of the tabernacle, yet must wait for a call to it, either extraordinary, as that of preachers and apostles, or ordinary, as that of pastors and teachers. And observe who they were that Moses called; those in whose heart God had put wisdom for this purpose, beyond their natural capacity, and whose heart stirred him up to come to the work in good earnest." Those are to be called to the building of the gospel tabernacle, whom God has by his grace made in some measure fit for the work, and free to it: ability and willingness, with resolution, are the two things to be regarded in the call of ministers.
