Exodus 31:2-14

2“I have chosen Bezalel, son of Uri and grandson of Hur, from the tribe of Judah.

3I have filled Bezalel with the Spirit of God, making him highly skilled, resourceful, and knowledgeable in all trades.

4He’s a master artist familiar with gold, silver, and bronze.

5He knows how to cut and set stones and how to work with wood. He’s an expert in all trades.

6Also, I have appointed Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, to help him. I have given every craftsman the skill necessary to make everything I have commanded you:

7the tent of meeting, the ark containing the words of my promise with the throne of mercy on it, and all the ⌞other⌟ furnishings for the tent,

8the table and the dishes, the pure ⌞gold⌟ lamp stand and all its utensils, the altar for incense,

9the altar for burnt offerings and all its accessories, the basin with its stand,

10the special clothes—the holy clothes for the priest Aaron and the clothes for his sons when they serve as priests,

11the anointing oil, and the sweet-smelling incense for the holy place. They will make all these things as I commanded you.”

12The Lord said to Moses,

13“Say to the Israelites, ‘Be sure to observe my days of rest as holy days. This will be a sign between me and you for generations to come so that you will know that I am the Lord who makes you holy.

14“ ‘Observe the day of rest because it is holy to you. Whoever treats it like any other day must be put to death. Whoever works on that day must be excluded from the people.
