And I, indeed I, I'm the one who did this. I've also appointed with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. and I have put wisdom in the hearts of all the gifted artisans that they may make all that I have commanded you. The tabernacle of meeting, the architess, everything that the Lord has commanded, he has given them the ability to build.
