31:5 And in cutting of stones, to set [them], and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.

31:7 The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that [is] thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,
31:8 And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,
31:9 And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,
31:10 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,
31:11 And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy [place] according to all that I have commanded ya’ll shall they do.

The Sabbath a sign


31:12 And the LORD spake to Moses, saying,
31:13 Speak you also to the children of Israel, saying, Verily my Sabbaths you shall keep for it [is] a sign between me and you throughout your generations ; that [you] may know that I [am] the LORD that does sanctify you.
31:14 You shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it [is] holy to you every one that defiles it shall surely be put to death for whom ever does [any ] work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
31:15 Six days may work be done ; but in the seventh [is] the Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD whom ever does [any ] work in the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
31:16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, [for] a perpetual covenant.
31:17 It [is] a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever for [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
