Exo 31:2"See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,

Exo 31:3and I have filled him with the Spirit of God in skill, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship,

Exo 31:7

Exo 31:7the tent of meeting, the ark of the testimony, the atonement lid that is on it, all the furnishings of the tent,

Exo 31:8

The Sign of the Sabbath

Exo 31:12

Exo 31:12The LORD said to Moses,

Exo 31:13

Exo 31:13"Tell the Israelites, 'Surely you must keep my Sabbaths, for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.

Exo 31:14

Exo 31:14So you must keep the Sabbath, for it is holy for you. Everyone who defiles it must surely be put to death; indeed, if anyone does any work on it, then that person will be cut off from among his people.

Exo 31:15

Exo 31:15Six days work may be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the LORD; anyone who does work on the Sabbath day must surely be put to death.

Exo 31:16

Exo 31:16The Israelites must keep the Sabbath by observing the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.

Exo 31:17

Exo 31:17It is a sign between me and the Israelites forever; for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.'"

Exo 31:18

Exo 31:18He gave Moses two tablets of testimony when he had finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, tablets of stone written by the finger of God.
