Chapter 31
(Exodus 31 NKJV) Then the LORD 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,
in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, {4}
"to design artistic works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, {5}
"in 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 who are gifted artisans, that they may make all
that I have commanded you: {7} "the tabernacle of meeting, the ark of
the Testimony and the mercy seat that is on it, and all the furniture of
the tabernacle; {8} "the table and its utensils, the pure gold lampstand
with all its utensils, the altar of incense, {9} "the altar of burnt
offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its base; {10} "the
garments of ministry, the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the
garments of his sons, to minister as priests, {11} "and the anointing
oil and sweet incense for the holy place. According to all that I have
commanded you they shall do." {12} And 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.
{14} 'You 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. {15}
'Work shall be done for six days, but the seventh is the Sabbath of
rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he
shall surely be put to death. {16} 'Therefore
the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath
throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. {17} 'It is a sign
between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD
made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was
refreshed.'" {18} And when He had made an end of speaking with him on
Mount Sinai, He gave Moses two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of
stone, written with the finger of God.
