31
1 The
LORD spoke to
Moses, saying,
2 “Behold,
I have called
by name Bezalel
the son of Uri,
the son of
Hur, of the
tribe of Judah.
3 I
have filled him
with the Spirit
of God, in
wisdom, and in
understanding, and
in knowledge, and
in all kinds
of workmanship,
4 to
devise skillful
works, to work
in gold, and
in silver, and
in bronze,
5 and
in cutting
of stones for setting,
and in carving
of wood, to
work in all
kinds of
workmanship.
6 Behold,
I myself have
appointed with
him Oholiab, the
son of Ahisamach,
of the tribe
of Dan; and
in the heart
of all who
are wise-hearted I
have put wisdom,
that they may
make all that
I have commanded
you:
7 the Tent
of Meeting, the ark
of the covenant,
the mercy seat
that is on
it, all the
furniture of
the Tent,
8 the
table and its
vessels, the
pure lamp stand with
all its vessels,
the altar of
incense,
9 the
altar of burnt
offering with all
its vessels, the
basin and its
base,
10 the
finely worked garments—the
holy garments for Aaron
the priest,
the garments of
his sons to
minister in the
priest’s office—
11 the
anointing oil, and
the incense of
sweet spices for
the holy place:
according to all
that I have
commanded you they
shall do.”
12 The
LORD spoke to
Moses, saying,
13 “Speak
also to the
children of Israel,
saying, ‘Most
certainly you
shall keep my
Sabbaths; for it
is a sign between
me and you
throughout your
generations, that
you may know
that I am
the LORD who
sanctifies you.
14 You
shall keep the
Sabbath therefore,
for it is
holy to you.
Everyone who
profanes it shall
surely be put
to death; for
whoever does any
work therein, that
soul shall be
cut off from
among his people.
15 Six
days shall work
be done, but
on the seventh
day is a
Sabbath of solemn
rest, holy to
the LORD. Whoever
does any work
on the Sabbath
day shall surely
be put to
death.
16 Therefore
the children of
Israel shall keep
the Sabbath, to
observe the
Sabbath throughout
their generations,
for a perpetual
covenant.
17 It
is a sign between
me and the
children of Israel
forever; for in
six days the
LORD made heaven
and earth, and
on the seventh
day he rested,
and was
refreshed.’ ”
18 When
he finished
speaking with him
on Mount Sinai,
he gave Moses
the two tablets
of the covenant, stone
tablets, written
with God’s finger.
