Shmot (Exodus) - Chapter 31

31:1 Mar-Yah spoke to Mosha, saying, 31:2 "Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Yudah: 31:3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, 31:4 to devise skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, 31:5 and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of workmanship. 31:6 I, behold, I 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: 31:7 the Tabernacle, the ark of the testimony, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent, 31:8 the table and its vessels, the pure menorah with all its vessels, the altar of incense, 31:9 the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, the basin and its base, 31:10 the finely worked garments—the holy garments for Aaron the priest—the garments of his sons to minister in the priest's office, 31:11 the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded you they shall do."

31:12 Mar-Yah spoke to Mosha, saying, 31:13 "Speak also to the B'nai Yisrael, 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 Mar-Yah who sanctifies you. 31:14 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. 31:15 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to Mar-Yah. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death. 31:16 Therefore the B'nai Yisrael shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. 31:17 It is a sign between me and the B'nai Yisrael forever; for in six days Mar-Yah made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.'"

31:18 He gave to Mosha, when he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, stone tablets, written with God's finger.
