| 31:1 |
Then the LORD said to Moses,
|
| 31:2 |
"See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
|
| 31:3 |
and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts--
|
| 31:4 |
to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze,
|
| 31:5 |
to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship.
|
| 31:6 |
Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also I have given skill to all the craftsmen to make everything I have commanded you:
|
| 31:7 |
the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony with the atonement cover on it, and all the other furnishings of the tent--
|
| 31:8 |
the table and its articles, the pure gold lampstand and all its accessories, the altar of incense,
|
| 31:9 |
the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, the basin with its stand--
|
| 31:10 |
and also the woven garments, both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests,
|
| 31:11 |
and the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them just as I commanded you."
|
| 31:12 |
Then the LORD said to Moses,
|
| 31:13 |
"Say to the Israelites, `You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy.
|
| 31:14 |
"`Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it must be put to death; whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from his people.
|
| 31:15 |
For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death.
|
| 31:16 |
The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant.
|
| 31:17 |
It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he abstained from work and rested.' "
|
| 31:18 |
When the LORD finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.
