Exod 31
1
And YHWH 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
and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and
in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
4
to devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
5
and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner
of workmanship.
6
And I, behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe
of Dan; and in the heart of all that are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they
may make all that I have commanded you:
7
the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy-seat that is thereupon,
and all the furniture of the Tent,
8
and the table and its vessels, and the pure candlestick with all its vessels, and
the altar of incense,
9
and the altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and the laver and its base,
10
and the finely wrought garments, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the
garments of his sons, to minister in the priest`s office,
11
and the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according
to all that I have commanded you shall they do.
12
And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
13
Speak you also to the children of Israel, saying, Truly you shall keep my sabbaths:
for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that you may know
that I am YHWH who sanctifies you.
14
You shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy to you: every one that profanes
it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall
be cut off from among his people.
15
Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, holy
to YHWH: whoever does any work on the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
16
Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout
their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days YHWH
made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
18
And he gave to Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai,
the two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
