1And the LORD spake unto Moses , saying , 2See , I have called by name Bezaleel 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 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;
The Importance of the Sabbath
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 cloths 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 . 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 . 15Six 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 .
