1 Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying, 2 “Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah [Praised]: 3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship, 4 to devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, 5 and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of workmanship. 6 Behold, I myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan [He judged]; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have enjoined you: 7 the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent, 8 the table and its utensils, the pure menorah ·lamp· with all its utensils, the altar of incense, 9 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, the basin and its base, 10 the finely worked garments— the holy garments for Aaron [Light-bringer] the priest— the garments of his sons to minister in the priest’s office, 11 the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have enjoined you they shall do.”
12 Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying, 13 “Speak also to the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, ‘Most certainly you shall keep my Sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you throughout all your generations; that you may know that I am Yahweh M’Kaddesh [Yahweh our Santifier / He sustains breathing who makes you holy]. 14 You shall keep the Sabbath ·To cease· 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. 15 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath ·To cease· of solemn rest, holy to Adonai . Whoever does any work on the Sabbath ·To cease· day shall surely be put to death. 16 Therefore the children of Israel [God prevails] shall keep the Sabbath ·To cease·, to observe the Sabbath ·To cease· throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·. 17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel [God prevails] forever; for in six days Adonai made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.’ ”
(2) 18 He gave to Moses [Drawn out], when he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai [Thorn], the two tablets of the testimony, stone tablets, written with the finger of God. * Quoted in Luke 11:20
