Exodus 31
← All chapters

The Craftsman and the Sabbath

Two names, and then a stop. Bezalel of Judah and Oholiab of Dan are appointed to build everything the last six chapters described — and Bezalel is the first person in the Bible said to be filled with the spirit of God. He is a metalworker. Then, immediately after all that urgency, an instruction to stop one day in seven, with the death penalty attached. The chapter ends with two stone tablets written with the finger of God. They last less than one chapter.
