And he will do Bezalel and Oholiab and every - person skillful of heart whom he has put Yahweh skill and understanding in them to know to do all [the] work of [the] service of the holy place to all that he has commanded Yahweh.
2 So Moses/I summoned Bezalel and Oholiab and all the other skilled men to whom Yahweh had given special ability and who wanted to do some of the work.
And he called Moses to Bezalel and to Oholiab and to every person skillful of heart whom he had put Yahweh skill in heart his every [one] whom it lifted him heart his to draw near to the work to do it.

6 So Moses/I gave the skilled men this message that was proclaimed throughout the camp: “No one should bring anything more as an offering to make the Sacred Tent!” When the people [heard that], they did not bring anything more.
And he commanded Moses and they caused to pass a proclamation in the camp saying a man and a woman may not they make again work for [the] contribution of the holy place and it was restrained the people from bringing.
