AB - Exodus - 31

31:1  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

31:2  Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

31:3  And I have filled him with a divine spirit of wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge, to invent in every work,

31:4  and to frame works, to labor in gold, silver, brass, blue, purple, and spun scarlet,

31:5  and works in stone, and for artificers' work in wood, to work at all works.

31:6  And I have appointed with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, and to everyone understanding in heart I have given understanding; and they shall make all things, as many as I have commanded you,

31:7  the tabernacle of witness, and the ark of the Covenant, and the mercy seat that is upon it, and the furniture of the tabernacle,

31:8  and the altars, and the table and all its furniture,

31:9  and the pure lampstand and all its utensils, and the laver and its base,

31:10  and Aaron's robes of ministry, and the robes of his sons to minister to Me as priests,

31:11  and the anointing oil and the compound incense of the sanctuary; according to all that I have commanded you shall they make them.

31:12  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

31:13  Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, Take heed and keep My Sabbaths; for they are a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord that sanctifies you.

31:14  And you shall keep the Sabbath, because this is holy to the Lord for you; he that profanes it shall surely be put to death: everyone who shall do a work on it, that soul shall be destroyed from the midst of his people.

31:15  Six days you shall work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath, a holy rest unto the Lord; everyone who shall do a work on the seventh day shall be put to death.

31:16  And the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe them throughout their generations.

31:17  It is a perpetual covenant between Me and the children of Israel, it is a perpetual sign with Me; for in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and on the seventh day He ceased, and rested.

31:18  And He gave to Moses when He left off speaking to him in Mount Sinai the two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone written with the finger of God.
