35:31
and has filled him with a divine spirit of wisdom, understanding, knowledge, and [a talent for] all types of craftsmanship.

Vayemale oto ruach Elohim bechochmah bitvunah uveda’at uvechol-melachah.

[He will thus be able] to devise plans, work in gold, silver and copper,

cut stones to be set, and do carpentry and other skilled work.

‘[God] also gave to him and Oholiav son of Achisamakh, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach [others].

35:35
He has granted them a natural talent for all craftsmanship, to form materials, to brocade or embroider patterns with sky-blue, dark red and crimson wool and fine linen, and to weave. They will thus be able to do all the necessary work and planning.

Mile otam chochmat-lev la’asot kol-melechet charash vechoshev verokem batechelet uva’argaman betola’at hashani uvashesh ve’oreg osey kol-melachah vechoshvey machashavot.

36:1
‘Betzalel shall thus do all that God commanded, along with Oholiav and every other skilled individual, to whom God has granted the wisdom and understanding to know how to do all the work necessary for the sacred task.’

36:2
Moses summoned Betzalel, Oholiav, and all the other skilled individuals upon whom God had bestowed a natural talent, all who volunteered to dedicate themselves to completing the task.

Vayikra Moshe el-Betsal’el ve’el-Oholi’av ve’el kol-ish chacham-lev asher natan Adonay chochmah belibo kol asher nesa’o libo lekorvah el-hamelachah la’asot otah.

36:3
In Moses’ presence, they took the entire donation that the Israelites had brought to complete the work on the sacred task. Meanwhile, [the Israelites] were bringing more gifts each morning.

Vayikchu milifney Moshe et kol-haterumah asher hevi’u beney Yisra’el limelechet avodat hakodesh la’asot otah vehem hevi’u elav od nedavah baboker baboker.

36:4
All the craftsmen engaged in the sacred work [left] the work they were doing, and came [to Moses].

Vayavo’u kol-hachachamim ha’osim et kol-melechet hakodesh ish-ish mimelachto asher-hemah osim.

36:5
They said to Moses, ‘The people are bringing much more than is needed for the work that God commanded to do.’

Vayomru el-Moshe lemor marbim ha’am lehavi midey ha’avodah lamelachah asher-tsivah Adonay la’asot otah.

36:6
Moses gave orders to make an announcement in the camp, ‘Let no man or woman bring any more material for the sacred offering.’ The people stopped bringing,

Vayetsav Moshe vaya’aviru kol bamachaneh lemor ish ve’ishah al-ya’asu-od melachah litrumat hakodesh vayikale ha’am mehavi.

36:7
but the materials were more than enough for all the work that had to be done.

Vehamelachah hayetah dayam lechol-hamelachah la’asot otah vehoter.
