Exodus 31
31
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: 3and I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, 4to devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, 5and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of workmanship. 6And I, behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee: 7the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy-seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the Tent; 8and the table and its vessels, and the pure candlestick with all its vessels, and the altar of incense; 9and the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, and the laver and its base; 10and the finely wrought garments, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office; 11and the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
12And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 13Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily ye shall keep my sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD which sanctify you. 14Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that profaneth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 15Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 16Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. 17It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. 18And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written with 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.
