The LORD said to Moses, “See, I have called by name Bezalel the
son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled
him with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with
knowledge and all craftsmanship, to devise artistic designs, to
work in gold, silver, and bronze, in cutting stones for setting,
and in carving wood, to work in every craft. And behold, I have
appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of
Dan. And I have given to all able men ability, that they may make
all that I have commanded you: the tent of meeting, and the ark of
the testimony, and the mercy seat that is on it, and all the
furnishings of the tent, the table and its utensils, and the pure
lampstand with all its utensils, and the altar of incense, and the
altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin and
its stand, and the finely worked garments, the holy garments for
Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, for their service as
priests, and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense for the
Holy Place. According to all that I have commanded you, they shall
do.”
And the LORD said to Moses, “You are to speak to the people of
Israel and say, ‘Above all you shall keep my Sabbaths, for this is
a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may
know that I, the LORD, sanctify you. You shall keep the Sabbath,
because it is holy for you. Everyone who profanes it shall be put
to death. Whoever does any work on it, that soul shall be cut off
from among his people. Six days shall work be done, but the seventh
day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any
work on the Sabbath day shall be put to death. Therefore the people
of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath throughout
their generations, as a covenant forever. It is a sign forever
between me and the people of Israel that in six days the LORD made
heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was
refreshed.’”
And he gave to Moses, when he had finished speaking with him on
Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone,
written with the finger of God.
