The Call of Bezaleel and Aholiab
(Exodus 35.30—36.1)
1And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 2See, I have called by name Bez´aleel 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, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship. 6And I, behold, I have given with him Aho´li-ab, the son of Ahis´amach, 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 tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle, 8and the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense, 9and the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot, 10and the clothes of service, 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 sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
The Sabbath as a Sign
12And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 13Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you. 14Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you. Every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 15#Exod 20.8-11; 23.12; 34.21; 35.2; Lev 23.3; Deut 5.12-14. Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of 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.
The Golden Calf

18And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Si´nai, two tables of 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.
