Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him
with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with
knowledge and with all kinds of skills—to make artistic designs
for work in gold, silver and bronze, to cut and set stones, to work
in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts. Moreover, I have
appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, to help
him. Also I have given ability to all the skilled workers to make
everything I have commanded you: the tent of meeting, the ark of
the covenant law with the atonement cover on it, and all the other
furnishings of the tent—the table and its articles, the pure gold
lampstand and all its accessories, the altar of incense, the altar of
burnt offering and all its utensils, the basin with its stand—and
