## 📜 Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
### Willing Artisans
[[#Verse 01.]] The Lord spoke to Moses,
[[#Verse 02.]] “See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
[[#Verse 03.]] and I have filled him with the Spirit of God in skill, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship,
[[#Verse 04.]] to make artistic designs for work with gold, with silver, and with bronze,
[[#Verse 05.]] and with cutting and setting stone, and with cutting wood, to work in all kinds of craftsmanship.
[[#Verse 06.]] Moreover, I have also given him Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, and I have given ability to all the specially skilled, that they may make everything I have commanded you:
[[#Verse 07.]] the tent of meeting, the ark of the testimony, the atonement lid that is on it, all the furnishings of the tent,
[[#Verse 08.]] the table with its utensils, the pure lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense,
[[#Verse 09.]] the altar for the burnt offering with all its utensils, the large basin with its base,
[[#Verse 10.]] the woven garments, the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons, to minister as priests,
[[#Verse 11.]] the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the Holy Place. They will make all these things just as I have commanded you.”
### Sabbath Observance
[[#Verse 12.]] The Lord said to Moses,
[[#Verse 13.]] “Tell the Israelites, ‘Surely you must 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.
[[#Verse 14.]] So you must keep the Sabbath, for it is holy for you. Everyone who defiles it must surely be put to death; indeed, if anyone does any work on it, then that person will be cut off from among his people.
[[#Verse 15.]] Six days work may be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; anyone who does work on the Sabbath day must surely be put to death.
[[#Verse 16.]] The Israelites must keep the Sabbath by observing the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.
[[#Verse 17.]] It is 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.’”
[[#Verse 18.]] He gave Moses two tablets of testimony when he had finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, tablets of stone written by the finger of God.
