Exodus 31

The Skilled Craftsmen

11Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2“See, I have called by name Bezalel, the 2son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. 3And I have 3filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of 4craftsmanship, 4to create 5artistic designs for work in gold, in silver, and in 6bronze, 5and in the cutting of stones 7for settings, and in the carving of wood, so that he may work in all kinds of 8craftsmanship. 6And behold, I Myself have 9appointed with him 10Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all who are 11skillful I have put 12skill, so that they may make everything that I have commanded you: 713the tent of meeting, 14the ark of testimony, 15the 16atoning cover that is on it, and all the furniture of the tent, 817the table and its 18utensils, the 19pure gold lampstand with all its 20utensils, and 21the altar of incense, 922the altar of burnt offering with all its 23utensils, and 24the basin and its stand, 10the 2526woven garments as well: the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, with which to 27carry out their priesthood; 1128the anointing oil also, and the 29fragrant incense for the Holy Place, they are to make them according to everything that I have commanded you.”

The Sign of the Sabbath

12Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 13“Now as for you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘30You must keep My Sabbaths; for this is 31a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, so that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you. 14Therefore you are to keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. 32Everyone who profanes it must be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. 1533For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a 34Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; 35whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death. 16So the sons of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to 36celebrate the Sabbath throughout their generations as a permanent covenant.’ 1737It is a sign between Me and the sons of Israel forever; 38for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day He ceased from labor, and was refreshed.”

18When He had finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses 39the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, 40written by the finger of God.
