(KJV) Exodus 311

<< Exodus 30 Exodus 32 >>

Bezalel and Oholiab[ Exodus 35:30–35 ]

[1] And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, [2] See, I have2 called by name Bezaleel3 the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: [3] And I have filled4 him with the spirit of God5, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, [4] To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,6 [5] And in cutting of stones, to set [them], and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.7 [6] And I, behold, I have given8 with him Aholiab9, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted10 I have put wisdom, that they11 may make all that I have commanded thee; [7] The tabernacle12 of the congregation, and the ark13 of the testimony, and the mercy seat that [is] thereupon, and all the furniture14 of the tabernacle, [8] And the table15 and his furniture, and the pure candlestick16 with all his furniture, and the altar17 of incense, [9] And the altar18 of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver19 and his foot, [10] And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office,20 [11] And the anointing21 oil, and sweet incense22 for the holy [place]: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.

The Sign of the Sabbath[ Numbers 15:32–36 ]

[12] And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, [13] Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily23 my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it [is] a sign24 between me and you throughout your generations; that [ye] may25 know that I [am] the Lord that doth sanctify you. [14] Ye shall keep26 the sabbath therefore; for it [is] holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth27 [any] work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. [15] Six days28 may work be done; but in the seventh [is] the sabbath29 of rest, holy30 to the Lord: whosoever31 doeth [any] work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. [16] Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, [for] a perpetual covenant32. [17] It [is] a sign33 between me and the children of Israel for ever: for [in] six days34 the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed35.

Moses Receives the Tablets

[18] [¶]And he gave36 unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger37 of God.

<< Exodus 30 Exodus 32 >>


  1. Exod 31:1, Bezaleel and Aholiab are appointed and qualified for the work of the tabernacle; Exod 31:12, The observation of the sabbath is again commanded; Exod 31:18, Moses receives the two tables. 

  2. Exod 33:12, Exod 33:17, Exod 35:30, Exod 36:1; Isa 45:3-4; Mark 3:16-19; John 3:27

  5. Ruach Elohim, rather, "a spirit of God;" which is a usual Hebraism, signifying "an excellent spirit;" or, as we should now say, "a distinguished genius for the work he had to perform." No man, by course of reading or study, ever acquired a genius of any kind. We call it natural, and say it was born with the man: Moses teaches us to consider it divine. The prophet Isaiah (Isa 28:24-29), pointedly refers to this sort of teaching as coming from God, even in the most common and less difficult arts of life. Dark as the heathens were, yet they acknowledged that all talents and the seeds of all arts came from God.
