(Exodus 35:30–35)

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda,

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

To devise whatsoever may be artificially made of gold, and silver, and brass,

Of marble, and precious stones, and variety of wood.

And I have given him for his companion Ooliab the son of Achisamech of the tribe of Dan. And I have put wisdom in the heart of every skillful man, that they may make all things which I have commanded thee,

The tabernacle of the covenant, and the ark of the testimony, and the propitiatory that is over it, and all the vessels of the tabernacle,

And the table and the vessels thereof, the most pure candlestick with the vessels thereof, and the altars of incense,

And of holocaust, and all their vessels, the laver with its foot,

The holy vestments in the ministry for Aaron the priest, and for his sons, that they may execute their office about the sacred things:

The oil of unction, and the incense of spices in the sanctuary, all things which I have commanded thee, shall they make.

The Sign of the Sabbath

(Numbers 15:32–36)

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: See that thou keep my sabbath: because it is a sign between me and you in your generations: that you may know that I am the Lord, who sanctify you.

Keep you my sabbath: for it is holy unto you: he that shall profane it, shall be put to death: he that shall do my work in it, his soul shall perish out of the midst of his people.

Six days shall you do work: in the seventh day is the sabbath, the rest holy to the Lord. Every one that shall do any work on this day, shall die.

Let the children of Israel keep the sabbath, and celebrate it in their generations. It is an everlasting covenant

Between me and the children of Israel, and a perpetual sign. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and in the seventh he ceased from work.

Moses Receives the Tablets

And the Lord, when he had ended these words in mount Sinai, gave to Moses two stone tables of testimony, written with the finger of God.

(Exodus 35:30–35)

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

“Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship,

to devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,

and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of workmanship.

Behold, I myself 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:

the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the covenant, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent,

the table and its vessels, the pure lamp stand with all its vessels, the altar of incense,

the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, the basin and its base,

the finely worked garments—the holy garments for Aaron the priest, the garments of his sons to minister in the priest’s office—

the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded you they shall do.”

The Sign of the Sabbath

(Numbers 15:32–36)

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

“Speak also to the children of Israel, 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 the LORD who sanctifies you.

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.

Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.

Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.’”

Moses Receives the Tablets

When he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, he gave Moses the two tablets of the covenant, stone tablets, written with God’s finger.
