Exodus 31

Artisans for Building the Tabernacle

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 ^a“See, I have called by name Bezalel the ^bson of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. 3 And I have ^afilled 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 ^aAholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have put wisdom in the hearts of all the ^bgifted artisans, that they may make all that I have commanded you: 7 ^athe tabernacle of meeting, ^bthe ark of the Testimony and ^cthe mercy seat that is on it, and all the furniture of the tabernacle— 8 ^athe table and its utensils, ^bthe pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense, 9 ^athe altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and ^bthe laver and its base— 10 ^athe ¹garments of ministry, the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to minister as priests, 11 ^aand the anointing oil and ^bsweet incense for the holy place. According to all that I have commanded you they shall do.”

The Sabbath Law

12 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 13 “Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: ^a‘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 ^bsanctifies¹ you. 14 ^aYou shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who ¹profanes it shall surely be put to death; for ^bwhoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. 15 Work shall be done for ^asix days, but the ^bseventh 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 ^aa sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for ^bin 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 ^atwo tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.
