Exodus 35:30 to Exodus 36:7 P s. The Craftsmen and their Supplies. The first paragraph (to Exodus 36:1) describes the call of Bezalel and Oholiab (cf. Exodus 31:2 ff.). The second (Exodus 36:2-7) relates, with a glowing idealisation of the conditions of that golden age, how the craftsmen had to restrain the givers from bringing too much.

Exodus 36:8-38 P s. The Tent. This section comes first instead of following the account of its contents as in Exodus 36:26. The fourfold curtains are described first (Exodus 35:8-19; cf. Exodus 26:1-14); then the framework (Exodus 35:20-34; cf. Exodus 26:15-29); and lastly the veil and screen (Exodus 35:35, cf. Exodus 26:31 f., Exodus 26:36 f.). The only new feature is the gradation in gilding by which the veil pillars were all gilt and the screen pillars had gilded capitals (Exodus 36:38), while the pillars at the entrance of the court had silvered tops (Exodus 38:19).

30 And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;

32 And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

33 And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.

34 And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.

35 Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.
