Chapter 31
The craftsmen for the sanctuary
1
Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,
2
‘See, I have singled out Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
3
I have filled him with the spirit of God and endowed him with skill and perception and knowledge for every kind of craft:
4
for the art of designing and working in gold and silver and bronze;
5
for cutting stones to be set, for carving in wood, for every kind of craft.
6
Here and now I give him a partner, Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and to all the men that have skill I have given more, for them to carry out all that I have commanded you:
7
the Tent of Meeting; the ark of the Testimony; the throne of mercy that covers it, and all the furniture of the tent;
8
the table and all its furnishings; the pure lamp-stand and all its accessories; the altar of incense;
9
the altar of holocaust with all its furnishings; the basin with its stand;
10
the sumptuous vestments – sacred vestments for Aaron the priest, and vestments for his sons – for the priestly functions;
11
the chrism and the fragrant incense for the sanctuary. In this they are to do exactly as I have directed you’.
The sabbath rest
12
Yahweh said this to Moses,
13
‘Speak to the sons of Israel and say, “You must keep my sabbaths carefully, because the sabbath is a sign between myself and you from generation to generation to show that it is I, Yahweh, who sanctify you.
14
You must keep the sabbath, then; it is to be held sacred by you. The man who profanes it must be put to death; whoever does any work on that day shall be outlawed from his people.
15
Work is to be done for six days, but the seventh day must be a day of complete rest, consecrated to Yahweh. Whoever does any work on the sabbath day must be put to death.
16
The sons of Israel are to keep the sabbath, observing it from generation to generation: this is a lasting covenant.
17
Between myself and the sons of Israel the sabbath is a sign for ever, since in six days Yahweh made the heavens and the earth, but on the seventh day he rested and drew breath”‘.
The tablets of the Law committed to Moses
18
When he had finished speaking with Moses on the mountain of Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.
