Exodus

Chapter 31

1 The Lord said to Moses:

2 I have chosen Bezalel from the Judah tribe to make the sacred tent and its furnishings.

3 I have appointed Oholiab from the tribe of Dan to work with him, and I have also given skills to those who will help them make everything exactly as I have commanded you:

4 The Sabbath belongs to me. Now I command you and your descendants to always obey the laws of the Sabbath. By doing this, you will know that I have chosen you as my own.

5 Every generation of Israelites must respect the Sabbath.

6 This day will always serve as a reminder, both to me and to the Israelites, that I made the heavens and the earth in six days, then on the seventh day I rested and relaxed.

7 When God had finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two flat stones on which he had written all his laws with his own hand.
