Chapter 31

¹ And the Lord 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] a divine spirit of wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge, to invent in every work, ⁴ and to frame works, to labor in gold, and silver, and brass, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, ⁵ and works in stone, and for artificers’ work in wood, to work at all works. ⁶ And I have appointed him and Oholiab the [son] of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, and to everyone understanding in heart I have given understanding; and they shall make all things as many as I have appointed thee— ⁷ the tabernacle of witness, and the ark of the covenant, and the propitiatory that is upon it, and the furniture of the tabernacle, ⁸ and the altars, and the table and all its furniture, ⁹ and the pure candlestick and all its furniture, and the laver and its base, ¹⁰ and Aaron’s robes of ministry, and the robes of his sons to minister to me as priests, ¹¹ and the anointing oil and the compound incense of the sanctuary; according to all that I have commanded thee shall they make them.

Ex 31:1-11

¹² And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ¹³ Do thou also charge the children of Israel, saying, Take heed and keep my Sabbaths; [for] they are a sign with me and among you throughout your generations, that ye may know that I am the Lord that sanctifies you. ¹⁴ And ye shall keep the Sabbaths, because this is holy to the Lord for you; he that profanes it shall surely be put to death: every one who shall do a work on it, that soul shall be destroyed from the midst of his people. ¹⁵ Six days thou shalt do works, but the seventh day is the Sabbath, a holy rest to the Lord; everyone who shall do a work on the seventh day shall be put to death. ¹⁶ And the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbaths, to observe them throughout their generations. ¹⁷ It is a perpetual covenant with me and the children of Israel, it is a perpetual sign with me; for in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and on the seventh day he ceased, and rested. ¹⁸ And he gave to Moses when he left off speaking to him in Mount Sinai the two tables of testimony, tables of stone written [upon] with the finger of God.
