The
Skilled Craftsmen |
|
|
 |
| Exodus 31:1 |
|
Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 31:2 |
|
"See, I have called by name Bezalel, the son
of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 31:3 |
|
"I have filled him with the Spirit of God in
wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship, |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 31:4 |
|
to make artistic designs for work in gold, in
silver, and in bronze, |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 31:5 |
|
and in the cutting of stones for settings, and
in the carving of wood, that he may work in all kinds of craftsmanship. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 31:6 |
|
"And behold, I Myself have appointed with him
Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all who
are skillful I have put skill, that they may make all that I have commanded you: |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 31:7 |
|
the tent of meeting, and the ark of testimony,
and the mercy seat upon it, and all the furniture of the tent, |
|
|
|
| Exodus 31:8 |
|
the table also and its utensils, and the pure
gold lampstand with all its utensils, and the altar of incense, |
|
|
|
| Exodus 31:9 |
|
the altar of burnt offering also with all its
utensils, and the laver and its stand, |
|
|
|
| Exodus 31:10 |
|
the woven garments as well, and the holy garments
for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, with which to carry on their
priesthood; |
|
|
|
| Exodus 31:11 |
|
the anointing oil also, and the fragrant incense
for the holy place, they are to make them according to all that I have commanded
you." |

|
The
Sign of the Sabbath |
|
|
|
| Exodus 31:12 |
|
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, |
|
|
|
| Exodus 31:13 |
|
"But as for you, speak to the sons of Israel,
saying, 'You shall surely observe My sabbaths; for this is a sign between Me and
you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies
you. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 31:14 |
|
'Therefore you are to observe the sabbath, for
it is holy to you. Everyone 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.
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 31:15 |
|
'For six days work may be done, but on the seventh
day there is a sabbath of complete rest, holy to the LORD; whoever does any work
on the sabbath day shall surely be put to death. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 31:16 |
|
'So the sons of Israel shall observe the sabbath,
to celebrate the sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.'
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 31:17 |
|
"It is a sign between Me and the sons of Israel
forever; for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day
He ceased from labor, and was refreshed." |
|
|
|
| Exodus 31:18 |
|
When He had finished speaking with him upon
Mount Sinai, He gave Moses the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone,
written by the finger of God. |
