Exodus 31:1-14 ▼

1 Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “See, 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 the Spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship,

4 to create artistic designs for work in gold, in silver, and in bronze,

5 and in the cutting of stones for settings, and in the carving of wood, so that he may work in all kinds of craftsmanship.

6 And behold, I Myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all who are skillful I have put skill, so that they may make everything that I have commanded you:

7 the tent of meeting, the ark of testimony, the atoning cover that is on it, and all the furniture of the tent,

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

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

10 the woven garments as well: the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, with which to carry out their priesthood;

11 the anointing oil also, and the fragrant incense for the Holy Place, they are to make them according to everything that I have commanded you.”

12 Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

13 “Now as for you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘You must keep My Sabbaths; for this is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, so that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.

14 Therefore you are to keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it must be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people.
