31:1  And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
31:2  “See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri the son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah.
31:3  And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom and with skill and with knowledge and with every kind of craftsmanship,
31:4  to devise designs, to work with gold and with silver and with bronze,
31:5  and in stonecutting for setting and in cutting wood, for doing every kind of craftsmanship.
31:6  And, look, I have given with him Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, and I have put skill in the heart of all the skilled of heart, and they will make all that I have commanded you—
31:7  the tent of assembly and the ark of the testimony and the atonement cover that is on it and all the equipment of the tent,
31:8  and the table and all its equipment, and the pure gold lampstand and all its equipment, and the incense altar,
31:9  and the altar of burnt offering and all its equipment, and the basin and its stand,
31:10  and the garments of woven material, and the garments of the sanctuary for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons to serve as priests,
31:11  and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense for the sanctuary. According to all that I have commanded you, they will make it.
31:12  And Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
31:13  “And you, speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘Surely you must keep my Sabbaths, because it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, in order to know that I am Yahweh, who consecrates you.
31:14  And you must keep the Sabbath, because it is holy for you; defilers of it will surely be put to death, because anyone who does work on it—that person will be cut off from among his people.
31:15  On six days work can be done, and on the seventh is a Sabbath of complete rest, a holy day for Yahweh; anyone doing work on the Sabbath day will surely be put to death.
31:16  The Israelites will pay attention to the Sabbath in order to fulfill the Sabbath throughout their generations as a lasting covenant.
31:17  It is a sign between me and the Israelites forever, because in six days Yahweh made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh he ceased and recovered.”
31:18  And when he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, he gave to Moses the two tablets of the testimony, stone tablets, written with the finger of God.
