Exodus 31
31
1The Lord told Moses, 2“I have chosen by name Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah. 3I have filled him with the Spirit of God giving him ability, creativity, and expertise in all kinds of craftsmanship. 4He can produce designs in gold, silver, and bronze, 5he can cut gemstones to place in settings, and he can carve wood. He is a master of every craft.
6I have also chosen Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, to help him. I have also given all the craftsmen the skills needed to make everything that I have ordered you to make:
7the Tent of Meeting, the Ark of the Testimony and its atonement cover, and all the other furniture in the Tent, 8the table with its equipment, the pure gold lampstand with all its equipment, the altar of incense, 9the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin plus its stand; 10as well as the woven clothes for both Aaron the priest and for his sons to serve as priests, 11as well as anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them following all the instructions I have given you.”
12The Lord told Moses, 13“Tell the Israelites, ‘It's absolutely essential that you keep my Sabbaths. The Sabbath will be a sign between me and you for generations to come, so that you'll know that I am the Lord who makes you holy. 14You shall keep the Sabbath because it is holy to you. Anyone who dishonors it must be killed. Anyone who works on that day must be cut off from their people. 15Six days you can work, but the seventh day is to be a Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Anyone who does any work on the Sabbath day must be killed. 16The Israelites must keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath as an everlasting agreement for generations to come. 17It's a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for the Lord made the heavens and the earth in six days, but on the seventh day he stopped and he rested.’”
18When the Lord finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, stone tablets written on by the finger of God.

Oholiab and Bezalel
1The Lord said to Moses, 2“See, I have called by name #ch. 35:30; 36:1; 1 Chr. 2:20 Bezalel the son of Uri, son of #ch. 17:10, 12; 24:14Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 3and I have #ch. 35:31; [1 Kgs. 7:14]filled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with knowledge and all craftsmanship, 4to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze, 5in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, to work in every craft. 6And behold, I have appointed with him #ch. 35:34 Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. And I have given to all able men #ch. 28:3; 35:10, 35; 36:1ability, that they may make all that I have commanded you: 7#See ch. 36:8-38 the tent of meeting, and #See ch. 37:1-5 the ark of the testimony, and #See ch. 37:6-9the mercy seat that is on it, and all the furnishings of the tent, 8#See ch. 37:10-16 the table and its utensils, and #See ch. 37:17-24 the pure lampstand with all its utensils, and #See ch. 37:25-28the altar of incense, 9and #See ch. 38:1-7 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and #ch. 38:8the basin and its stand, 10and #ch. 35:19; 39:1, 41the finely worked garments,#31:10 Or garments for worship the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, for their service as priests, 11and #ch. 30:25, 31; 37:29 the anointing oil and the fragrant #ch. 30:7, 34incense for the Holy Place. According to all that I have commanded you, they shall do.”
The Sabbath
12And the Lord said to Moses, 13“You are to speak to the people of Israel and say, ‘Above all you shall keep my Sabbaths, for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I, the Lord, sanctify you. 14You shall keep the Sabbath, because it is holy for you. Everyone who profanes it shall be put to death. #ch. 35:2; [Jer. 17:27]; See Num. 15:32-36Whoever does any work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 15#See ch. 20:9 Six days shall work be done, but #ch. 16:23; 20:10; Gen. 2:2 the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the Lord. #[See ver. 14 above]Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall be put to death. 16Therefore the people of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath throughout their generations, as a covenant forever. 17#ver. 13 It is a sign forever between me and the people of Israel that #Gen. 1:31 in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and #Gen. 2:2; Heb. 4:4, 10on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.’”
18And he gave to Moses, when he had finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, the #ch. 24:12; 32:15, 16; Deut. 4:13; 5:22; 9:10, 11; [2 Cor. 3:3] two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written with #See ch. 8:19the finger of God.
