Exodus 31

1 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “See, I have called by name Bezalel son of Uri, 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 design artistic works, to work in gold and in silver and in bronze,

5 and in cutting stone for setting, and in cutting wood, to work in all [manner of] workmanship.

6 And I, behold, have appointed with him Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. And in the hearts of all who are wise of heart, I have put wisdom, and they shall make all that I have commanded you:

7 The Tent of Meeting, and the ark of the Testimony, and the mercy seat that [is] on it, and all the vessels of the tent,

8 and the table and its vessels, and the pure lampstand and all its vessels, and the altar of incense,

9 and the altar of the burnt offering and all its vessels, and the basin and its stand,

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

11 and the anointing oil, and the incense of spice for the Holy Place. According to all that I have commanded you, they shall do.”

12 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

13 “And You, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘Truly My Sabbaths you⁺ shall keep, for it [is] a sign between Me and between you⁺ throughout your⁺ generations, that [you] may know that I [am] YHWH who sanctifies you⁺.

14 And you⁺ shall keep the Sabbath, for it [is] holy to you⁺. Everyone who profanes [it], he must surely be put to death, for every doer of work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

15 Six days work shall be done, and the seventh day [is] a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to YHWH. Every doer of work on the Sabbath day, he must surely be put to death.

16 And the sons of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to do the Sabbath throughout their generations [as] an everlasting covenant.

17 It [is] a sign between Me and between the sons of Israel forever; for [in] six days YHWH made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’”

18 And He gave unto Moses, as He finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.
