1 T he Lord said to Moses,

¶ And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

2 “ See, I have called by name Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the family of Judah.

See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;

3 I have filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, understanding, much learning, and all kinds of special work.

and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and in intelligence and in science and in all manner of workmanship,

4 H e will plan good work in gold, silver and brass,

to devise cunning works, to work in gold and in silver and in brass,

5 i n cutting stones to set, and in cutting wood, for all kinds of good work.

and in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.

6 A nd see, I have given Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the family of Dan to help him. I have put wisdom in the hearts of all who are wise, so they may make all that I have told you:

And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the desire of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom that they may make all that I have commanded thee:

7 t he meeting tent, the box of the Law, the mercy-seat upon it, and all the objects of the tent,

The tabernacle of the testimony and the ark of the testimony and the seat of reconciliation that shall be upon it and all the vessels of the tabernacle

8 t he table and its objects, the pure gold lamp-stand with all its objects, the altar of special perfume,

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

9 t he altar of burnt gifts with all its objects, the washing pot and its base,

and the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels and the laver and its base

10 t he well-made clothing, the holy clothing for Aaron the religious leader, the clothing for his sons for their work as religious leaders,

and the clothes of service and the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons that they may be priests,

11 t he oil for holy use, and the sweet-smelling perfume for the holy place. Have them do all I have told you.” The Day of Rest

and the anointing oil and aromatic incense for the sanctuary; they shall do according to all that I have commanded thee.

12 T he Lord said to Moses,

¶ And the LORD spoke further unto Moses, saying,

13 “ Say to the people of Israel, ‘Keep My Days of Rest. For this is something special between Me and you for all your people forever. So you may know that I am the Lord Who sets you apart for Myself.

And thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, With all this ye shall keep my sabbaths; for it is a sign between me and you throughout your ages; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.

14 Y ou will keep the Day of Rest, for it is holy to you. Every one who does what is sinful on this day will be put to death for sure. Whoever does any work on this day will be cut off from among his people.

Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you; those that defile it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

15 W ork may be done for six days. But the seventh day is a Day of Rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Day of Rest will be put to death for sure.

Six days shall work be done; but the seventh, the sabbath of rest, shall be holy to the LORD; whoever does any work in the sabbath day shall surely be put to death.

16 S o the people of Israel will keep the Day of Rest as a special day for all their people for all time, as an agreement forever.’

Therefore the sons of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their ages for a perpetual covenant.

17 I t is something special between Me and the people of Israel forever. For the Lord made heaven and earth in six days. But He stopped working and rested on the seventh day.”

It is a sign between me and the sons of Israel for ever; for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.

18 W hen the Lord had finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, He gave him the two stone writings of the Law, pieces of stone written on by the finger of God.

And he gave unto Moses, when he finished speaking with him upon Mount Sinai, two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
