Exodus 36

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 36 of 40

1 And Bezaleel and Aholiab shall work with every man wise of heart, to whom Jehovah has given wisdom and intelligence, they who know how to do every work of the service of the sanctuary, concerning all which Jehovah had commanded.

2 And Moses called to Bezaleel, and to Aholiab, and to every man wise of heart, to whom Jehovah had given a heart of wisdom, everyone whose heart had lifted him up to come near the work, to do it.

3 And they took every offering before Moses which the sons of Israel had brought for the work of the service in the holy place, to do it. And they brought to him still more willing offerings morning by morning.
