Exodus Chapter 31

Exodus Chapter 31
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying,
2 Behold, I have called by name,
Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur of
the tribe of Judah,
3 Whom I have filled with the Spirit of
God, in wisdom, and in understanding
and in knowledge and in all
workmanship:
4 To find out curious works to work in
gold, and in silver, and in brass, 5 Also
in the art to set stones, and to carve in
timber, and to work in all manner of
workmanship.
6 And behold, I have joined with him
Aholiab the son of Ahisamach of the
tribe of Dan, and in the hearts of all that
are wise hearted, have I put wisdom to
make all that I have commanded thee:
7 That is, the tabernacle of the
congregation, and the ark of the
testimony, and the mercy seat that shall
be thereupon, with all instruments of the
tabernacle:
8 Also the table and the instruments
thereof, and the pure candlestick with all
his instruments, and the altar of perfume:
9 Likewise the altar of burnt offering
with all his instruments, and the laver
with his foot:
10 Also the garments of the ministration,
and the holy garments for Aaron the
priest, and the garments of his sons, to
minister in the priest’s office, 11 And
the anointing oil, and sweet perfume for
the sanctuary: according to all that I have
commanded thee, shall they do.
12 Afterward the Lord spake unto
Moses, saying,
13 Speak thou also unto the children of
Israel, and say, Notwithstanding keep ye
my Sabbaths: for it is a sign between me
and you in your generations, that ye may
know that I the Lord do sanctify you.
14 Ye shall therefore keep the Sabbath:
for it is holy unto you: he that defileth it,
shall die the death: therefore whosoever
worketh therein, the same person shall
be even cut off from among his people.
15 Six days shall men work, but in the
seventh day is the Sabbath of the holy
rest to the Lord: whosoever doeth any
work in the Sabbath day, shall die the
death.
16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall
keep the Sabbath, that they may observe
the rest throughout their generations for
an everlasting covenant. 17 It is a sign
between me and the children of Israel
forever: for in six days the Lord made
the heaven and the earth, and in the
seventh day he ceased, and rested.
18 Thus (when the Lord had made an
end of communing with Moses upon
mount Sinai) he gave him two tables of
the testimony, even tables of stone,
written with the finger of God.
