Yahweh spoke to Moses , saying,
2
"Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur , of the tribe of Judah :
3
and I have filled him with the Spirit of God , in wisdom , and in understanding, and in knowledge , and in all kinds of workmanship,
4
to devise skillful works, to work in gold , and in silver , and in brass ,
5
and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood , to work in all kinds of workmanship.
6
I, behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan ; and in the heart of all who are wise -hearted I have put wisdom , that they may make all that I have commanded you:
7
the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent ,
8
the table and its vessels , the pure lampstand with all its vessels , the altar of incense ,
9
the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels , the basin and its base,
10
the finely worked garments --the holy garments for Aaron the priest--the garments of his sons to minister in the priest's office,
11
the anointing oil , and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded you they shall do."
12
Yahweh spoke to Moses , saying,
13
"Speak also to the children of Israel , saying, 'Most certainly you shall keep my Sabbaths : for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations ; that you may know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies you.
14
You shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15
Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to Yahweh . Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.
16
Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath , to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations , for a perpetual covenant.
17
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever ; for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth , and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.'"
18
He gave to Moses , when he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai , the two tablets of the testimony, stone tablets , written with God's finger .
