Lyrics
The LORD spoke to Moses saying Behold I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri The son of Hur of the tribe of Judah
I have filled him with the Spirit of God In wisdom and in understanding and in knowledge And in all kinds of workmanship To devise skilful works
To work in gold and in silver and in bronze And in cutting of stones for setting And in carving of wood to work in all kinds of workmanship Behold I myself have appointed with him Oholiab
The son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan And in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom that they may make all that I have commanded you
The Tent of Meeting the ark of the covenant The mercy seat that is on it all the furniture of the Tent The table and its vessels the pure lamp stand with all its vessels The altar of incense
The altar of burnt offering with all its vessels The basin and its base the finely worked garments The holy garments for Aaron the priest The garments of his sons to minister in the priest’s office
The anointing oil and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place According to all that I have commanded you they shall do The LORD spoke to Moses saying Speak also to the children of Israel
Saying most certainly you shall keep my Sabbaths For it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations That you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you You shall keep the Sabbath therefore
For it is holy to you Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death For whoever does any work therein That soul shall be cut off from amongst his people
Six days shall work be done but on the seventh day Is a Sabbath of solemn rest holy to the LORD Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day Shall surely be put to death
Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath To observe the Sabbath throughout their generations For a perpetual covenant it is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth And on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed
