aNow the LORD spoke
to Moses
, saying
,
"See, I have called
by name
Bezalel
, the ason
of Uri
, the son
of Hur
, of the tribe
of Judah
.
"I have afilled him with the Spirit
of God
in wisdom
, in understanding
, in knowledge
, and in all
kinds of 1craftsmanship
,
to 1make artistic designs
for work
in gold
, in silver
, and in 2bronze
,
and in the cutting of stones
1for settings
, and in the carving
of wood
, that he may work
in all
kinds of 2craftsmanship
.
"And behold, I Myself
have 1appointed
with him aOholiab
, the son
of Ahisamach
, of the tribe
of Dan
; and in the hearts
of all
who
are 2skillful
I have put
3skill
, that they may make
all
that I have commanded
you:
athe tent of meeting
, and bthe ark
of testimony
, and cthe 1mercy
seat
upon it, and all
the furniture
of the tent
,
athe table also and its 1utensils
, and the bpure
gold lampstand
with all
its 1utensils
, and cthe altar
of incense
,
athe altar of burnt
offering
also with all
its 1utensils
, and bthe laver
and its stand
,
the 1 awoven garments
as well, and the holy
garments
for Aaron
the priest
, and the garments
of his sons
, with which to 2carry
on their priesthood
;
athe anointing oil
also, and the bfragrant
incense
for the holy
place, they are to make
them according to all
that I have commanded
you."
The LORD spoke
to Moses
, saying
,
"But as for you, speak to the sons
of Israel
, saying
, ` aYou shall surely
observe
My sabbaths
; for this is ba sign
between
Me and you throughout your generations
, that you may know
that I am the LORD
who sanctifies
you.
`Therefore you are to observe the sabbath
, for it is holy
to you. aEveryone who profanes
it shall surely
be put
to death
; for whoever
does
any
work
on it, that person
shall be cut
off
from among
his people
.
` aFor six days
work
may be done
, but on the seventh
day
there is a bsabbath
of complete
rest
, holy
to the LORD
; cwhoever
does
any
work
on the sabbath
day
shall surely
be put
to death
.
`So the sons of Israel
shall observe
the sabbath
, to 1celebrate
the sabbath
throughout their generations
as a perpetual
covenant
.'
" aIt is a sign between
Me and the sons
of Israel
forever
; bfor in six
days
the LORD
made
heaven
and earth
, but on the seventh
day
He ceased
from labor, and was refreshed
."
When He had finished speaking
with him upon Mount
Sinai
, He gave
Moses
athe two
tablets
of the testimony
, tablets
of stone
, bwritten
by the finger
of God
.
