In six days<n id="1" /> work may be done, but on the seventh day there must be a holy day<n id="2" /> for you, a Sabbath of complete rest to the <sc>Lordsc>.<n id="3" /> Anyone who does work on it will be put to death.

<t /><n id="1" /><p class="bodytext">Moses spoke to the whole community of the Israelites, &#8220;This is the word that the <sc>Lordsc> has commanded:

<p class="bodytext">Moses said to the Israelites, &#8220;See, the <sc>Lordsc> has chosen<n id="1" /> Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

and told Moses, &#8220;The people are bringing much more than<n id="1" /> is needed for the completion<n id="2" /> of the work which the <sc>Lordsc> commanded us to do!&#8221;<n id="3" />p>

Now Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything that the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded Moses;

He put<n id="1" /> them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as stones of memorial for the Israelites, just as the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded Moses.p>

There was<n id="1" /> a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe, to be used in ministering,<n id="2" /> just as the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded Moses.p>

The sash was of fine twisted linen and blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, the work of an embroiderer, just as the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded Moses.

They made a plate, the holy diadem, of pure gold and wrote on it an inscription, as on the engravings of a seal, &#8220;Holiness to the <sc>Lordsc>.&#8221;

They attached to it a blue cord, to attach it to the turban above, just as the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded Moses.p>

<t /><n id="1" /><p class="bodytext">So all the work of the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, was completed, and the Israelites did according to all that the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded Moses &#8211; they did it exactly so.

<p class="bodytext">The Israelites did all the work according to all that the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded Moses.

Moses inspected<n id="1" /> all the work &#8211; and<n id="2" /> they had done it just as the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded &#8211; they had done it exactly &#8211; and Moses blessed them.<n id="3" />p>

Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent over it, as the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded Moses.

And he brought the ark into the tabernacle, hung<n id="1" /> the protecting curtain,<n id="2" /> and shielded the ark of the testimony from view, just as the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded Moses.p>

Whenever they entered<n id="1" /> the tent of meeting, and whenever they approached<n id="2" /> the altar, they would wash,<n id="3" /> just as the <sc>Lordsc> had commanded Moses.p>

Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud settled on it and the glory of the <sc>Lordsc> filled the tabernacle.

For the cloud of the <sc>Lordsc> was on the tabernacle by day, but fire would be<n id="1" /> on it at night, in plain view<n id="2" /> of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.p>

God also said to Moses, &#8220;You must say this to the Israelites, &#8216;The <sc>Lordsc><n id="1" /> &#8211; the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob &#8211; has sent me to you. This is my name<n id="2" /> forever, and this is my memorial from generation to generation.&#8217;<n id="3" />p>

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Go and bring together<n id="1" /> the elders of Israel and tell them, &#8216;The <sc>Lordsc>, the God of your fathers,<n id="2" /> appeared<n id="3" /> to me &#8211; the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob &#8211; saying, &#8220;I have attended carefully<n id="4" /> to you and to what has been done<n id="5" /> to you in Egypt,
