| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2"See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills-- |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also I have given ability to all the skilled workers to make everything I have commanded you: |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7the tent of meeting, the ark of the covenant law with the atonement cover on it, and all the other furnishings of the tent-- |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8the table and its articles, the pure gold lampstand and all its accessories, the altar of incense, |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, the basin with its stand-- |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10and also the woven garments, both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests, |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11and the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them just as I commanded you." |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Then the LORD said to Moses, |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14"'Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death; those who do any work on that day must be cut off from their people. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15For six days work is to be done, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17It 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 rested and was refreshed.'" |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18When the LORD finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the covenant law, the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God. |
