1 N ow the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “ See, 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, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship,

4 t o make artistic designs for work in gold, in silver, and in bronze,

5 a nd in the cutting of stones for settings, and in the carving of wood, that he may work in all kinds of craftsmanship.

6 A nd behold, I Myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all who are skillful I have put skill, that they may make all that I have commanded you:

7 t he tent of meeting, and the ark of testimony, and the mercy seat upon it, and all the furniture of the tent,

8 t he table also and its utensils, and the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, and the altar of incense,

9 t he altar of burnt offering also with all its utensils, and the laver and its stand,

10 t he woven garments as well, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, with which to carry on their priesthood;

11 t he anointing oil also, and the fragrant incense for the holy place, they are to make them according to all that I have commanded you.” The Sign of the Sabbath

12 T he Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

13 “ But as for you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘ You shall surely observe My sabbaths; for this is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you.

14 T herefore you are to observe the sabbath, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people.

15 F or six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on the sabbath day shall surely be put to death.

16 S o the sons of Israel shall observe the sabbath, to celebrate the sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.’

17 I t is a sign between Me and the sons of Israel forever; for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day He ceased from labor, and was refreshed.”

18 W hen He had finished speaking with him upon Mount Sinai, He gave Moses the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written by the finger of God.
