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.
