“1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 See, I have called by name
Bezaleel 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 manner of workmanship, 4 To devise cunning
works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, 5 And in cutting of
stones, to set [them], and in carving of timber, to work in all manner
of workmanship. 6 And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, 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; 7 The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the
testimony, and the mercy seat that [is] thereupon, and all the furniture
of the tabernacle, 8 And the table and his furniture, and the pure
candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense, 9 And the
altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his
foot, 10 And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the
priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s
office, 11 And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy
[place]: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.”
“12 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 13 Speak 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. 14 Ye 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 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. 16 Wherefore 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 for ever: for [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and
on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. 18 And he gave unto
Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai,
two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of
God.” (Ex 31:1-18 AV)
