Exodus 31
31
Bezalel and Oholiab Help
1Then the Lord said to Moses, 2“See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri from the tribe of Judah. (Uri was the son of Hur.) 3I have filled Bezalel with the Spirit of God and have given him the skill, ability, and knowledge to do all kinds of work. 4He is able to design pieces to be made from gold, silver, and bronze, 5to cut jewels and put them in metal, to carve wood, and to do all kinds of work. 6I have also chosen Oholiab son of Ahisamach from the tribe of Dan to work with Bezalel. I have given skills to all the craftsmen, and they will be able to make all these things I have commanded you: 7the Meeting Tent, the Ark of the Agreement, the lid that covers the Ark, and everything in the Tent. 8This includes the table and everything on it, the pure gold lampstand and everything with it, the altar of incense, 9the altar for burnt offerings and everything used with it, and the bowl and the stand under it. 10They will make the woven clothes and the holy clothes for Aaron and the clothes for his sons to wear when they serve as priests. 11They will also make the special olive oil used in appointing people and things to the service of the Lord, and the sweet-smelling incense for the Holy Place.
“These workers will make all these things just as I have commanded you.”
The Day of Rest
12Then the Lord said to Moses, 13“Tell the Israelites, ‘You must keep the rules about my Sabbaths, because they will be a sign between you and me from now on. In this way you will know that I, the Lord, make you holy.
14“ ‘Make the Sabbath a holy day. If anyone treats the Sabbath like any other day, that person must be put to death; anyone who works on the Sabbath day must be cut off from his people. 15There are six days for working, but the seventh day is a day of rest, a day holy for the Lord. Anyone who works during the Sabbath day must be put to death. 16The Israelites must remember the Sabbath day as an agreement between them and me that will continue from now on. 17The Sabbath day will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, because in six days I, the Lord, made the sky and the earth. On the seventh day I did not work; I rested.’ ”
18When the Lord finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two stone tablets with the Agreement written on them, written by the finger of God.

31
1And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
2“See, I have called by name Betsal’ĕl son of Uri, son of Ḥur, of the tribe of Yehuḏah,
3and I have filled him with the Spirit of Elohim in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work,
4to make designs for work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
5and in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, and to work in all work.
6And I, look I have appointed with him Oholiaḇ son of Aḥisamaḵ, of the tribe of Dan. And I have put wisdom in the hearts of everyone who is wise-hearted, and they shall make all that I have commanded you:
7the Tent of Appointment, and the ark of the Witness and the lid of atonement that is on it, and all the utensils of the Tent,
8and the table and its utensils, and the clean gold lampstand with all its utensils, and the slaughter-place of incense,
9and the slaughter-place of ascending offering with all its utensils, and the basin and its stand,
10and the woven garments, and the set-apart garments for Aharon the priest and the garments of his sons, for serving as priests,
11and the anointing oil and sweet incense for the Set-apart Place. According to all that I have commanded you, they are to do.”
12And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
13And you, speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘My Sabbaths you are to guard, by all means, for it is a sign#See also Eze. 20:12;Eze. 20:20 between Me and you throughout your generations, to know that I, יהוה, am setting you apart.
14‘And you shall guard the Sabbath, for it is set-apart to you. Everyone who profanes it shall certainly be put to death, for anyone who does work on it, that being shall be cut off from among his people.
15‘Six days work is done, and on the seventh is a Sabbath of rest, set-apart to יהוה. Everyone doing work on the Sabbath day shall certainly be put to death.
16‘And the children of Yisra’ĕl shall guard the Sabbath, to perform the Sabbath throughout their generations as an everlasting covenant.
17‘Between Me and the children of Yisra’ĕl it is a sign forever. For in six days יהוה made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’ ”
18And when He had ended speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Mosheh two tablets of the Witness, tablets of stone, written with the finger of Elohim.
