# Exodus 31

[1](#verse-1) The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

[2](#verse-2) “Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

[3](#verse-3) I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship,

[4](#verse-4) to devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,

[5](#verse-5) and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of workmanship.

[6](#verse-6) Behold, I myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you:

[7](#verse-7) the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the covenant, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent,

[8](#verse-8) the table and its vessels, the pure lamp stand with all its vessels, the altar of incense,

[9](#verse-9) the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, the basin and its base,

[10](#verse-10) the finely worked garments—the holy garments for Aaron the priest, the garments of his sons to minister in the priest’s office—

[11](#verse-11) the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded you they shall do.”

[12](#verse-12) The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

[13](#verse-13) “Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Most certainly you shall keep my Sabbaths; for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.

[14](#verse-14) You shall keep the Sabbath therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

[15](#verse-15) Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.

[16](#verse-16) Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

[17](#verse-17) It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.’”

[18](#verse-18) When he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, he gave Moses the two tablets of the covenant, stone tablets, written with God’s finger.
