31:1  And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
31:2  See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
31:3  and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and in intelligence and in science and in all manner of workmanship,
31:4  to devise cunning works, to work in gold and in silver and in brass,
31:5  and in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
31:6  And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the desire of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom that they may make all that I have commanded thee:
31:7  The tabernacle of the testimony and the ark of the testimony and the seat of reconciliation that shall be upon it and all the vessels of the tabernacle
31:8  and the table and its vessels and the pure lampstand with all its vessels and the altar of incense,
31:9  and the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels and the laver and its base
31:10  and the clothes of service and the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons that they may be priests,
31:11  and the anointing oil and aromatic incense for the sanctuary; they shall do according to all that I have commanded thee.
31:12  And the LORD spoke further unto Moses, saying,
31:13  And thou shalt speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, With all this ye shall keep my sabbaths; for it is a sign between me and you throughout your ages; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
31:14  Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you; those that defile it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
31:15  Six days shall work be done; but the seventh, the sabbath of rest, shall be holy to the LORD; whoever does any work in the sabbath day shall surely be put to death.
31:16  Therefore the sons of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their ages for a perpetual covenant.
31:17  It is a sign between me and the sons of Israel for ever; for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.
31:18  And he gave unto Moses, when he finished speaking with him upon Mount Sinai, two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
