Exodus 31:2
See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
Exodus 31:3
and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
Exodus 31:4
to devise skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
Exodus 31:5
and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of workmanship.
Exodus 31:6
And I, behold, I 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 thee:
Exodus 31:7
the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy-seat that is on it, and all the furniture of the tent,
Exodus 31:8
and the table and its vessels, and the pure lampstand with all its vessels, and the altar of incense,
Exodus 31:9
and the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, and the laver and its base,
Exodus 31:10
and the finely wrought garments, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office,
Exodus 31:11
and the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place. According to all that I have commanded thee they shall do.
Exodus 31:12
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Exodus 31:13
Speak thou also to the sons of Israel, saying, Truly ye shall keep my sabbaths, for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that ye may know that I am Jehovah who sanctifies you.
Exodus 31:14
Ye 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 on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
Exodus 31:15
Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, holy to Jehovah. Whoever does any work on the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
Exodus 31:16
Therefore the sons of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
Exodus 31:17
It is a sign between me and the sons of Israel forever. For in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
Exodus 31:18
And he gave to Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.
