¹And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

²See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Chur, of the tribe of Judah:

³And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,

⁴To devise works of art, to work in gold, and in silver, and in copper,

⁵And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in the carving of wood, to work in all manner of workmanship.

⁶And behold, I have also given with him Aholiab, the son of Achissamach, of the tribe of Dan, and in the heart of all that are wise-hearted have l put wisdom; and they shall make all that I have commanded thee;

⁷The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the cover that is thereupon, and all the vessels of the tabernacle;

⁸And the table and its vessels, and the pure candlestick with all its vessels, and the altar of incense;

⁹And the altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and the laver and its foot;

¹⁰And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister therein;

¹¹And the anointing oil, and the incense of spices for the holy place: all as I have commanded thee shall they do.

¹²And the Lord said unto Moses as followeth,

¹³And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Above all, my sabbaths shall ye keep; for a sign it is between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord who doth sanctify you.

¹⁴And ye shall keep the sabbath, for it is holy unto you; every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death; for whosoever doeth any work thereon, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

¹⁵Six days may work be done; but on the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work on the sabbath-day, shall surely be put to death.

¹⁶And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

¹⁷Between me and the children of Israel it shall be a sign for ever; for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed:

¹⁸And he gave unto Moses, when he had finished speaking with him upon mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, inscribed with the finger of God.
