The Sabbath Emphasized
1 Then Moses assembled all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and said to them, “
AThese are the things that the Loʀᴅ has commanded
you to
1do:
2 “
AFor six days work may be done, but on the seventh day you shall have a holy
day, Ba sabbath of complete rest to the Loʀᴅ;
Cwhoever does any work on it shall be put to death.
3 “
AYou shall not kindle a fire in any of your dwellings on the sabbath day.”
4 Moses spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, “This is the thing which the Loʀᴅ has commanded, saying,
5 ‘
ATake from among you a

20 Then all the congregation of the sons of Israel departed from Moses’ presence.
21 AEveryone whose heart
1stirred him and everyone whose spirit
2moved him came
and brought the Loʀᴅ’s
3contribution for the work of the tent of meeting and for all its service and for the holy garments.
22 Then all

3presented an offering of gold to the Loʀᴅ.

30 AThen Moses said to the sons of Israel, “See, the Loʀᴅ has called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
31 “And He has filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding and in knowledge and in all

2bronze,
33 and in the cutting of stones for settings and in the carving of wood, so as to perform in every inventive work.
34 “He also has put in his heart to teach, both he and
AOholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.
35 “
AHe has filled them with
1skill to perform every work of an engraver and of a designer and of an embroiderer, in
2blue and in purple
and in scarlet
material, and in fine linen, and of a weaver, as performers of every work and makers of designs.
