1And Jehovah 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 skilful 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 heart of all that are wise-hearted I have put wisdom , that they may make all that I have commanded thee :
The Importance of the Sabbath
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 Jehovah 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 Jehovah who sanctifieth 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 Jehovah : whosoever doeth any work on 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 Jehovah made heaven and earth , and on the seventh day he rested , and was refreshed .
