[1] The LORD said to Moses, [2] "See, I have called by name Bez'alel the
son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: [3] and I have filled him
with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with knowledge and
all craftsmanship, [4] to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver,
and bronze, [5] in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, for
work in every craft. [6] And behold, I have appointed with him Oho'liab,
the son of Ahis'amach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have given to all able
men ability, that they may make all that I have commanded you: [7] the tent
of meeting, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is
thereon, and all the furnishings of the tent, [8] the table and its
utensils, and the pure lampstand with all its utensils, and the altar of
incense, [9] and the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the
laver and its base, [10] and the finely worked garments, the holy garments
for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, for their service as
priests, [11] and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense for the holy
place. According to all that I have commanded you they shall do." [12] And
the LORD said to Moses, [13] "Say to the people of Israel, `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. [14] You
shall keep the sabbath, because it is holy for you; every one who profanes
it shall be put to death; whoever does any work on it, that soul shall be
cut off from among his people. [15] 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. [16] Therefore the people of
Israel shall keep the sabbath, observing the sabbath throughout their
generations, as a perpetual covenant. [17] It is a sign for ever 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.'" [18] And he gave to
Moses, when he had made an end of speaking with him upon Mount Sinai, the
two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of
God.
