31:1   Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

31:2   "See, I have called by name Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

31:3   "I have filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship,

31:4   to make artistic designs for work in gold, in silver, and in bronze,

31:5  and in the cutting of stones for settings, and in the carving of wood, that he may work in all kinds of craftsmanship.

31:6   "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 have demonstrated skill I have put skill, that they may make all that I have commanded you:

31:7   the tent of meeting, and the ark of testimony, and the mercy seat upon it, and all the furniture of the tent,

31:8   the table also and its utensils, and the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, and the altar of incense,

31:9   the altar of burnt offering also with all its utensils, and the laver and its stand,

31:10   the woven garments as well, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, with which to carry on their priesthood;

31:11   the anointing oil also, and the fragrant incense for the holy place, they shall make them according to all that I have commanded you."

31:12   The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

31:13   "But as for you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ' You shall surely observe My sabbaths; for this I regard as a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I proclaim Myself as the LORD who sanctifies you.

31:14  'Therefore you shall observe the sabbath, for you shall regard it as holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely receive the death penalty; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall become severed from among his people.

31:15  ' For six days you may do your work , but on the seventh day you shall keep a sabbath of complete rest, holy to the LORD; whoever does any work on the sabbath day shall surely receive the death penalty.

31:16   'So the sons of Israel shall observe the sabbath, to celebrate the sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.'

31:17   " I consider it a sign between Me and the sons of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day He ceased from labor, and became refreshed."

31:18   When He had finished speaking with him upon Mount Sinai, He gave Moses the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written by the finger of God.
