The Second Book of Moses: Called Exodus, Chapter 31
|
1 |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
|
2 |
See, I have called byname Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
|
3 |
And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in
understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
|
4 |
To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in
brass,
|
5 |
And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of
timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
|
6 |
And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of
Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise
hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have
commanded thee;
|
7 |
The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark
of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the
furniture of the tabernacle,
|
8 |
And the table and his furniture, and
the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,
|
9 |
And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the
laver and his foot,
|
10 |
And the cloths of service, and the holy
garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to
minister in the priest's office,
|
11 |
And the anointing oil, and
sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have
commanded thee shall they do.
|
12 |
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
|
13 |
Speak thou alsounto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep:
for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that
ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.
|
14 |
Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you:
every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever
doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his
people.
|
15 |
Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of
rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day,
he shall surely be put to death.
|
16 |
Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to
observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual
covenant.
|
17 |
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for
in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he
rested, and was refreshed.
|
18 |
And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing
with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone,
written with the finger of God.
