Exodus 31:5-18 ▼

5 and in cutting stone for setting, and in cutting wood, to work in all manner of workmanship.

6 And I, behold, have appointed with him Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. And in the hearts of all who are wise of heart, I have put wisdom, and they shall make all that I have commanded you:

7 The Tent of Meeting, and the ark of the Testimony, and the mercy seat that is on it, and all the vessels of the tent,

8 and the table and its vessels, and the pure lampstand and all its vessels, and the altar of incense,

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

10 and the woven garments and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons to minister as priests,

11 and the anointing oil, and the incense of spice for the Holy Place. According to all that I have commanded you, they shall do.”

12 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

13 “And You, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘Truly My Sabbaths you? shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and between you? throughout your? generations, that you may know that I am YHWH who sanctifies you?.

14 And you? shall keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you?. Everyone who profanes it, he must surely be put to death, for every doer of work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

15 Six days work shall be done, and the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to YHWH. Every doer of work on the Sabbath day, he must surely be put to death.

16 And the sons of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to do the Sabbath throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant.

17 It is a sign between Me and between the sons of Israel forever; for in six days YHWH made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’”

18 And He gave unto Moses, as He finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.
