Exodus 31

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

2 “See, I have called by name Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Chur, of the tribe of Judah:

3 And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,

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 in gold, silver, and bronze,

To devise works of art, to work in gold, and in silver, and in copper,

5 to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every craft.

And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in the carving of wood, to work in all manner of workmanship.

6 Moreover, I have selected Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, as his assistant. I have also given skill to all the craftsmen, that they may fashion all that I have commanded you:

And behold, I have also given with him Aholiab, the son of Achissamach, of the tribe of Dan, and in the heart of all that are wise-hearted have l put wisdom; and they shall make all that I have commanded thee;

7 the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony and the mercy seat upon it, and all the other furnishings of the tent—

The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the cover that is thereupon, and all the vessels of the tabernacle;

8 the table with its utensils, the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense,

And the table and its vessels, and the pure candlestick with all its vessels, and the altar of incense;

9 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its stand—

And the altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and the laver and its foot;

10 as well as the woven garments, both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests,

And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister therein;

11 in addition to the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them according to all that I have commanded you.”

And the anointing oil, and the incense of spices for the holy place: all as I have commanded thee shall they do.

12 And the LORD said to Moses,

And the Lord said unto Moses as followeth,

13 “Tell the Israelites, ‘Surely you must keep My Sabbaths, for this will be a sign between Me and you for the generations to come, so that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.

And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Above all, my sabbaths shall ye keep; for a sign it is between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord who doth sanctify you.

14 Keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Anyone who profanes it must surely be put to death. Whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from among his people.

And ye shall keep the sabbath, for it is holy unto you; every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death; for whosoever doeth any work thereon, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

15 For six days work may be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must surely be put to death.

Six days may work be done; but on the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work on the sabbath-day, shall surely be put to death.

16 The Israelites must keep the Sabbath, celebrating it as a permanent covenant for the generations to come.

And 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 Israelites forever; for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, but on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’”

Between me and the children of Israel it shall be a sign for ever; for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed:

18 When the LORD had finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, He gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.

And he gave unto Moses, when he had finished speaking with him upon mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, inscribed with the finger of God.
