Exodus 31:1
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Exodus 31:2
See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
Exodus 31:3
and have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in every work,
Exodus 31:4
to devise artistic work--to work in gold, and in silver, and in copper,
Exodus 31:5
and in cutting of stones, for setting, and for carving of timber--to work in all manner of work.
Exodus 31:6
And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of every one that is wise-hearted have I given 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 thereupon, and all the utensils of the tent,
Exodus 31:8
and the table and its utensils, and the pure lamp-stand and all its utensils, and the altar of incense;
Exodus 31:9
and the altar of burnt-offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand;
Exodus 31:10
and the garments of service, both the holy garments of Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to serve as priests;
Exodus 31:11
and the anointing oil, and the incense of fragrant drugs for the sanctuary: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
Exodus 31:12
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Exodus 31:13
And thou, speak thou unto the children of Israel, saying, Surely my sabbaths shall ye keep; for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that ye may know that it is I, Jehovah, who do hallow you.
Exodus 31:14
Keep the sabbath, therefore; for it is holy unto you; every one that profaneth it shall certainly be put to death: yea, whoever doeth work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his peoples.
Exodus 31:15
Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, holy to Jehovah: whoever doeth work on the sabbath day shall certainly be put to death.
Exodus 31:16
And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations-- it is an everlasting covenant.
Exodus 31:17
It shall be a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever; for in six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
Exodus 31:18
And he gave to Moses, when he had ended speaking with him on mount Sinai, the two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
