Exodus 31 ~ Keep the Sabbath Day Holy



The Lord advised Moses that he chose Bezlalel, Uri's son and a member of tribe of Judah. He informed Moses that He had filled Bezalel with His power providing him understanding, skill and artistic abilities for planning skillful designs. He was now able to cut jewels, work with metals and woods creating many kinds of beautiful designs. God also selected Oholiab, son of Ahisamach from the tribe of Dan. The two would create a Covenant Box fitted with a lid, and many furnishings for the sacred tent.

"Keep the sabbath, my day of rest, because it is is a sign between you and me for all the time to come, to show that I, the Lord have made you my own people." verse 13 Good News Bible The Lord
created the heaven and earth in six days and then He rested. He also wanted His people to rest upon the seventh day, to commune with Him and to keep the day sacred. 

At the end of the Lord's conversation on Mount Sinai, with Moses He presented with the two stone tablet He had written containing the commandments.

Thank you so much for visiting me today. May God richly bless you and the reading of His word.
