Dual Panel1THE LORD said to Moses,
2Take note that I have specially chosen Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
3I have filled him with the spirit of God, making him skilful and ingenious, expert in every craft,
4and a master of design, whether in gold, silver, copper,
5or cutting precious stones for setting, or carving wood, for workmanship of every kind.
6Further, I have appointed Aholiab son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan to be his assistant, and I have endowed every skilled craftsman with the skill which he has. They are to make everything that I have commanded you:
7the Tent of Meeting, the Ark for the Testimony, the cover over it, and all the furnishings of the tent;
8the table and its vessels, the pure lampstand and all its fittings, the altar of incense,
9the altar of whole-offering and all its vessels, the basin and its stand;
10the stitched vestments, that is the sacred vestments for Aaron the priest and the vestments for his sons when they minister as priests,
11the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to carry it all out as I commanded you.
12The LORD said to Moses,
13Say to the Israelites: Above all you must keep my sabbaths, for the sabbath is a sign between me and you in every generation that you may know that I am the LORD who hallows you.
14You are to keep the sabbath, because for you it is a holy day. If anyone profanes it he must be put to death. Anyone who does work on it is to be cut off from his father's kin.
15Work may be done for six days, but on the seventh day there is a sabbath of solemn abstinence from work, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the sabbath day shall be put to death.
16The Israelites must keep the sabbath, observing it in every generation as a covenant for ever.
17It is a sign for ever between me and the Israelites, for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, but on the seventh day he ceased work and refreshed himself.
18When he had finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, the LORD gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, stone tablets written with the finger of God.
