1 The Lord said to Moses, 2 ^l“See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 3 and I have ^mfilled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with knowledge and all craftsmanship, 4 to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze, 5 in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, to work in every craft. 6 And behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. And I have given to all able men ability, that they may make all that I have commanded you: 7 ⁿthe tent of meeting, and ^othe ark of the testimony, and ^pthe mercy seat that is on it, and all the furnishings of the tent, 8 ^qthe table and its utensils, and ^rthe pure lampstand with all its utensils, and ^sthe altar of incense, 9 and ^tthe altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and ^uthe basin and its stand, 10 and ^vthe finely worked garments,¹ the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, for their service as priests, 11 and ^wthe anointing oil and the fragrant incense for the Holy Place. According to all that I have commanded you, they shall do.”

12 And the Lord said to Moses, 13 “You are to speak to the people of Israel and say, ^x‘Above all you shall keep ^ymy Sabbaths, for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I, the Lord, sanctify you. 14 You shall keep the Sabbath, because it is holy for you. Everyone who ^zprofanes it shall be put to death. Whoever does any work on it, that soul shall be ^acut off from among his people. 15 ^bSix days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall be put to death. 16 Therefore the people of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath throughout their generations, as a ^ccovenant forever. 17 It is a sign forever between me and the people of Israel that in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and ^don the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.’”

18 And he gave to Moses, when he had finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, ^etablets of stone, written with the finger of God.
