| 1 | The LORD spoke to Moses: |
| 2 | See, I have called by name Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: |
| 3 | and I have filled him with divine spirit, with ability, intelligence, and knowledge in every kind of craft, |
| 4 | to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze, |
| 5 | in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, in every kind of craft. |
| 6 | Moreover, I have appointed with him Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have given skill to all the skillful, so that they may make all that I have commanded you: |
| 7 | the tent of meeting, and the ark of the covenant, and the mercy seat that is on it, and all the furnishings of the tent, |
| 8 | the table and its utensils, and the pure lampstand with all its utensils, and the altar of incense, |
| 9 | and the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its stand, |
| 10 | and the finely worked vestments, the holy vestments for the priest Aaron and the vestments of his sons, for their service as priests, |
| 11 | and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense for the holy place. They shall do just as I have commanded you. |
| 12 | The LORD said to Moses: |
| 13 | You yourself are to speak to the Israelites: “You shall keep my sabbaths, for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, given in order that you may know that I, the LORD, sanctify you. |
| 14 | You shall keep the sabbath, because it is holy for you; everyone who profanes it shall be put to death; whoever does any work on it shall be cut off from among the people. |
| 15 | Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD; whoever does any work on the sabbath day shall be put to death. |
| 16 | Therefore the Israelites shall keep the sabbath, observing the sabbath throughout their generations, as a perpetual covenant. |
| 17 | It is a sign forever between me and the people of Israel that in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.” |
| 18 | When God finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the covenant, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God. |
