- Chapter 31 -

(Exodus 35:30–35)
1
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
2
“See, I have called by name Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah.
3
I have filled Bezalel with my Spirit, to give him wisdom, understanding, and knowledge, for all kinds of craftsmanship,
4
to make artistic designs and to work in gold, silver, and bronze;
5
also to cut and set stones and to carve wood-to do all kinds of craftsmanship.
6
In addition to him, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan. I have put skill into the hearts of all who are wise so that they may make all that I have commanded you. This includes
7
the tent of meeting, the ark of the testimony, the atonement lid on the ark, and all the furniture of the tent-
8
the table and its utensils, the pure lampstand with all its equipment, the incense altar,
9
the altar for burnt offerings with all its equipment, and the large basin with its base.
10
This also includes the finely-woven garments-the holy garments for Aaron the priest and those of his sons, reserved for me so that they may serve as priests.
11
This also includes the anointing oil and the sweet incense for the holy place. These craftsmen must make all these things just as I have commanded you.”

The Sign of the Sabbath

(Numbers 15:32–36)
12
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
13
“Tell the Israelites: ’You must certainly keep Yahweh’s Sabbath days, for these will be a sign between him and you throughout your people’s generations so that you may know that he is Yahweh, who sets you apart for himself.
14
So you must keep the Sabbath, for it must be treated by you as holy, reserved for him. Everyone who defiles it must surely be put to death. Whoever works on the Sabbath, that person must surely be cut off from his people.
15
Work will be done for six days, but the seventh day is to be a Sabbath of complete rest, holy, reserved for Yahweh’s honor. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must surely be put to death.
16
Therefore, the Israelites must keep the Sabbath. They must observe it throughout their people’s generations as a permanent law.
17
The Sabbath will always be a sign between Yahweh and the Israelites, for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.’”

Moses Receives the Tablets

18

(Exodus 35:30–35)
1
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2
“Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
3
I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship,
4
to devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
5
and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of workmanship.
6
Behold, I myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you:
7
the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the covenant, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent,
8
the table and its vessels, the pure lamp stand with all its vessels, the altar of incense,
9
the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, the basin and its base,
10
the finely worked garments—the holy garments for Aaron the priest, the garments of his sons to minister in the priest’s office—
11
the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded you they shall do.”

The Sign of the Sabbath

(Numbers 15:32–36)
12
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
13
“Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Most certainly you shall keep my Sabbaths; for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
14
You shall keep the Sabbath therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15
Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.
16
Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.’”
