CHAPTER 31
And I have filled
him
with the Spirit
of God,
with wisdom,
understanding,
and ability
in all kinds
of craftsmanship,
Moreover, I
have selected
Oholiab
son
of Ahisamach,
of the tribe
of Dan,
as his assistant.
I have also given
skill
to all
the craftsmen,
that they may fashion
all
that
I have commanded you:
the Tent
of Meeting,
the Ark
of the Testimony
and
the mercy seat
upon it,
and all
the other furnishings
of the tent—
as well as
the woven
garments,
both the holy
garments
for Aaron
the priest
and the garments
for his sons
to serve as priests,
in addition to
the anointing
oil
and fragrant
incense
for the Holy Place.
They are to make
them according to all
that
I have commanded you.”
“Tell
the Israelites,
‘Surely
you must observe
My Sabbaths,
for
this
will be a sign
between Me
and you
for the generations to come,
so that you may know
that
I
am the LORD
who sanctifies you.
Observe
the Sabbath,
for
it
is holy
to you.
Everyone who profanes it
must surely
be put to death.
Whoever
does
work
on that day
must be cut off
from
his people.
For six
days
work
may be done,
but the seventh
day
must be a Sabbath
of solemn rest,
holy
to the LORD.
Whoever
does
any work
on the Sabbath
day
must surely
be put to death.
The Israelites
must observe
the Sabbath,
celebrating
it
as a lasting
covenant
for the generations to come.
It
is a sign
between
Me and the Israelites
forever;
for
in six
days
the LORD
made
the heavens
and the earth,
but on the seventh
day
He rested
and was refreshed.’”
When the LORD had finished
speaking
with him
on Mount
Sinai,
He gave
Moses
the two
tablets
of the Testimony,
tablets
of stone
inscribed
by the finger
of God.
