Exodus 31:2-14

2“See, I have called by name Bezalel, the 1son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. 3And I have 2filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of 3craftsmanship, 4to create 4artistic designs for work in gold, in silver, and in 5bronze, 5and in the cutting of stones 6for settings, and in the carving of wood, so that he may work in all kinds of 7craftsmanship. 6And behold, I Myself have 8appointed with him 9Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all who are 10skillful I have put 11skill, so that they may make everything that I have commanded you: 7 12the tent of meeting, 13the ark of testimony, 14the 15atoning cover that is on it, and all the furniture of the tent, 8 16the table and its 17utensils, the 18pure gold lampstand with all its 19utensils, and 20the altar of incense, 9 21the altar of burnt offering with all its 22utensils, and 23the basin and its stand, 10the 24 25woven garments as well: the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, with which to 26carry out their priesthood; 11 27the anointing oil also, and the 28fragrant incense for the Holy Place, they are to make them according to everything that I have commanded you.”

12Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 13“Now as for you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘29You must keep My Sabbaths; for this is 30a 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. 31Everyone 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.
