Craftsmen: Bezalel and Oholiab
Then the LORD said to Moses,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
Bezaleel and Oholiab the Craftsmen
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
“Look, I have specifically chosen Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
I have filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts.
And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
He is a master craftsman, expert in working with gold, silver, and bronze.
To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
He is skilled in engraving and mounting gemstones and in carving wood. He is a master at every craft!
And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
“And I have personally appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to be his assistant. Moreover, I have given special skill to all the gifted craftsmen so they can make all the things I have commanded you to make:
And 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 tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,
the table and its utensils;
the pure gold lampstand with all its accessories;
the incense altar;
the pure gold lampstand with all its accessories;
the incense altar;
And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,
the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils;
the washbasin with its stand;
the washbasin with its stand;
And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,
the beautifully stitched garments — the sacred garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments for his sons to wear as they minister as priests;
And 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,
the anointing oil;
the fragrant incense for the Holy Place.
The craftsmen must make everything as I have commanded you.”
the fragrant incense for the Holy Place.
The craftsmen must make everything as I have commanded you.”
And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
Instructions for the Sabbath
The LORD then gave these instructions to Moses:
The Sign of the Sabbath
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
“Tell the people of Israel: ‘Be careful to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you from generation to generation. It is given so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy.
Speak 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.
You must keep the Sabbath day, for it is a holy day for you. Anyone who desecrates it must be put to death; anyone who works on that day will be cut off from the community.
Ye 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.
You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day must be a Sabbath day of complete rest, a holy day dedicated to the LORD. Anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death.
Six 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.
The people of Israel must keep the Sabbath day by observing it from generation to generation. This is a covenant obligation for all time.
Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
It is a permanent sign of my covenant with the people of Israel. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day he stopped working and was refreshed.’”
It 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.
