Exodus 35:31
29 So all the men and women of the Israelites whose hearts prompted them brought a freewill offering to the LORD for all the work that the LORD through Moses had commanded them to do.
30 Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the LORD has called by name Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,
32 to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze,
33 to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every artistic craft.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
