Bezalel and Oholiab
1Then the Lord said to Moses, 2“See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 3and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills— 4to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, 5to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts. 6Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also I have given ability to all the skilled workers to make everything I have commanded you: 7the tent of meeting, the ark of the covenant law with the atonement cover on it, and all the other furnishings of the tent— 8the table and its articles, the pure gold lampstand and all its accessories, the altar of incense, 9the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, the basin with its stand— 10and also the woven garments, both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests, 11and the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them just as I commanded you.”
The Sabbath
12Then the Lord said to Moses, 13“Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy.
14“ ‘Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death; those who do any work on that day must be cut off from their people. 15For six days work is to be done, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death. 16The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. 17It will be 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.’ ”
18When the Lord finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the covenant law, the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.
会幕的工匠
1耶和华对摩西说： 2“看啊，我已经亲自在犹大支派中选出户珥的孙子、乌利的儿子比撒列， 3用我的灵充满他，使他有聪明智慧，精于各种技能和手艺， 4能用金、银和铜制造精巧的器具， 5又能雕刻和镶嵌宝石，精通木工和各种手艺。 6我委派但支派亚希撒抹的儿子亚何利亚伯做他的助手。至于其他能工巧匠，我已赐给他们智慧，好照我对你的吩咐制造一切器具， 7即会幕、约柜和约柜上面的施恩座、会幕里面所有的器具、 8桌子和桌上的器具、纯金的灯台和灯台的一切器具、香坛、 9燔祭坛和坛上的一切器具、洗濯盆和盆座， 10还有精工制作的礼服，即亚伦祭司的圣衣及其众子供祭司之职时穿的礼服， 11以及膏油和圣所使用的芬芳的香。他们要照我对你的吩咐去做。”
安息日
12耶和华对摩西说： 13“你要吩咐以色列百姓务必守我的安息日，因为这是我与你们之间世世代代的记号，叫你们知道使你们圣洁的是我耶和华。 14你们要守安息日，以它为圣日。凡不守这日的，必被处死。凡在这天工作的，必从民中被铲除。 15一周要工作六天，第七天是完全休息的安息日，是耶和华的圣日。凡在安息日做工的，必被处死。 16因此，以色列人世世代代都要守安息日，作为永久的约， 17这是我和以色列人之间永久的记号。因为耶和华用六天的时间创造天地，在第七天停工休息。” 18耶和华在西奈山对摩西说完这些话以后，就把自己用指头刻上诫命的两块石版交给摩西。
