2“See, I have called by name 31:2 ch. 35:30; 36:1; 1 Chr. 2:20Bezalel the son of Uri, son of 31:2 ch. 17:10, 12; 24:14Hur, of the tribe of Judah,

The Sabbath
12And the Lord said to Moses,
13“You are to speak to the people of Israel and say, ‘Above all you shall keep my Sabbaths, for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I, the Lord, sanctify you.
14You shall keep the Sabbath, because it is holy for you. Everyone who profanes it shall be put to death. 31:14 ch. 35:2; [Jer. 17:27]; See Num. 15:32-36Whoever does any work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
1531:15 See ch. 20:9Six days shall work be done, but 31:15 ch. 16:23; 20:10; Gen. 2:2the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the Lord. 31:15 [See ver. 14above]Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall be put to death.
16Therefore the people of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath throughout their generations, as a covenant forever.
1731:17 ver. 13It is a sign forever between me and the people of Israel that 31:17 Gen. 1:31in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and 31:17 Gen. 2:2; Heb. 4:4, 10on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.’”
18And he gave to Moses, when he had finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, the 31:18 ch. 24:12; 32:15, 16; Deut. 4:13; 5:22; 9:10, 11; [2 Cor. 3:3] two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written with 31:18 See ch. 8:19the finger of God.
