Bezalel and Oholiab
1Yahweh spoke to Moses: 2See, I have called by name Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 3and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, understanding, and knowledge in every kind of craft, 4to design artistic works, to work in gold, silver, and bronze, 5to cut and set stones, to carve wood, and to work in every craft. 6And I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to be with him. I have given skill to all who are skilled, so that they may make everything I have commanded you: 7the tent of meeting, the ark of the testimony, the atonement cover on it, and all the furnishings of the tent, 8the table and its utensils, the pure lampstand and all its utensils, the altar of incense, 9the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, the basin and its stand, 10the finely worked garments — the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests — 11the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They shall make everything just as I have commanded you.
The sabbath and the tablets of stone
12Yahweh said to Moses: 13Tell the Israelites: Above all, keep my sabbaths, for this is a sign between me and you, generation after generation, so that you may know that I am Yahweh, who consecrates you. 14Keep the sabbath, for it is holy to you. Whoever profanes it shall surely be put to death; whoever does work on it shall be cut off from among his people. 15Work may be done for six days, but the seventh day is a sabbath of complete rest, holy to Yahweh; whoever does work on the sabbath day shall surely be put to death. 16The Israelites shall keep the sabbath, observing it generation after generation, as a lasting covenant. 17It is a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days Yahweh made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he stopped and rested.” 18When he had finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written by the finger of God.
