Exodus 31:2-14

2“See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

3And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,

4to design artistic works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze,

5in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of workmanship.

6“And I, indeed I, have appointed with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have put wisdom in the hearts of all the gifted artisans, that they may make all that I have commanded you:

7the tabernacle of meeting, the ark of the Testimony and the mercy seat that is on it, and all the furniture of the tabernacle—

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

9the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its base—

10the garments of ministry, the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to minister as priests,

11and the anointing oil and sweet incense for the holy place. According to all that I have commanded you they shall do.”

12And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

13“Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: ‘Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who sanctifies you.

14You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, 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.
