Exodus

¹And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: ↗

²”Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah, ↗

³and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge in every craft, ↗

⁴in order to design whatever must be fabricated from gold, and silver, and brass, ↗

⁵from marble, and precious stones, and various woods. ↗

⁶And I have given to him, as his associate, Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan. And I have placed wisdom in the heart of every artisan, so that they may make everything as I have instructed you: ↗

⁷the tabernacle of the covenant, and the ark of the testimony, and the propitiatory which is over it, and all the vessels of the tabernacle, ↗

⁸and the table and its vessels, the most pure lampstand with its vessels, and the altars of incense ↗

⁹and of holocaust and all their vessels, the washtub with its base, ↗

¹⁰the holy vestments for the ministry of Aaron the priest, and for his sons, so that they may execute their office of sacred rites, ↗

¹¹the oil of unction, and the incense of aromatics in the Sanctuary. All the things that I have instructed you, they shall make.“ ↗

¹²And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: ↗

¹³”Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: See that you keep my Sabbath. For it is a sign between me and you among your generations, so that you may know that I am the Lord, who sanctifies you. ↗

¹⁴Keep my Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Whoever will have polluted it, shall die a death. Whoever will have done any work in it, his soul shall perish from the midst of his people. ↗

¹⁵For six days you shall do work. On the seventh day, it is the Sabbath, a rest sanctified by the Lord. All who will have done work on this day shall die. ↗

¹⁶Let the sons of Israel keep the Sabbath, and let them celebrate it throughout their generations. It is an everlasting covenant ↗

¹⁷between me and the sons of Israel, and a perpetual sign. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and in the seventh he ceased from work.“ ↗

¹⁸And the Lord, having completed speaking in this way on Mount Sinai, gave to Moses two stone tablets of testimony, written with the finger of God. ↗
