1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Behold, 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 I, behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of
Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted
I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you: 7 the
tent of meeting, the ark of the testimony, the mercy seat that is on it, all
the furniture of the Tent, 8 the table and its vessels, the pure lampstand
with all its vessels, the altar of incense, 9 the altar of burnt offering
with all its vessels, the basin and its base, 10 the finely worked
garments — the holy garments for Aaron the priest — the garments of his sons
to minister in the priest’s office, 11 the anointing oil, and the incense
of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded
you they shall do.”
12 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 13 “Speak also to the children of
Israel, saying, ‘Most assuredly you shall keep my Sabbaths: for it is a
sign between me and you throughout your generations; that you may know
that I am Yahweh 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 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 Yahweh. Whoever does any work on the
Sabbath day shall surely be put to death. 16 Therefore 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 forever; for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, and
on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.’”
18 He gave to Moses, when he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai,
the two tablets of the testimony, stone tablets, written with God’s
finger.
