Exodus 31

¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying. ² "See! I call by name Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur of the stock of Judah. ³ I shall fill him with the spirit of Elohim, with wisdom and with understanding and with knowledge, in all work, ⁴ to design designs, to make them in gold, in silver and in copper, ⁵ and as a lapidary for filling and as an artificer in wood for making all kind of work. ⁶ And I, behold, I give him Aholiab son of Ahisamach of the stock of Dan. In the heart of all the wise of heart I have given wisdom, that they will make all that I have instructed you. ⁷ The tent of appointment and the coffer for the testimony with the propitiatory shelter which shall be on it and all the furnishings of the tent, ⁸ the table with its furnishings, the pure lampstand with all its furnishings and the altar of incense, ⁹ the altar of ascent offering with all its furnishings, the laver and its post; ¹⁰ also the colored garments and the holy garments for Aaron, the priest, and the garments of his sons to serve as priests; ¹¹ then the anointing oil and the incense of spices for the holy place; according to all that I have instructed you shall they do." ¹² Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ¹³ "Now you, speak to the sons of Israel saying, Surely, My sabbaths shall you keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations to know that I, Yahweh, am hallowing you. ¹⁴ Hence you will keep the sabbath, for it is holy to you. Profaners of it shall be put to death, yea death, for if anyone is doing work in it, that soul will be cut off from among his people. ¹⁵ Six days shall work be done, and on the seventh day is a sabbath of cessation, holy to Yahweh. Everyone doing work on the sabbath day shall be put to death, yea death. ¹⁶ Hence the sons of Israel will keep the sabbath so as to make the sabbath an eonian covenant throughout their generations. ¹⁷ Between Me and the sons of Israel it shall be a sign for the eon, for in six days Yahweh dealt with the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He ceased and was refreshed." ¹⁸ He gave to Moses, as He finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of Elohim.
