Quick answer
Every skilled, wise-hearted person is called to come and make all that the LORD has commanded.
Overview
God summons the gifted craftsmen of Israel to put their abilities to work for the sanctuary. The phrase 'wise-hearted' shows that skill is itself a gift from God to be used for His glory. This anticipates how the Spirit gives varied gifts to build up the body of Christ for the common good (1 Corinthians 12:7-11).
