Case Law, Statutory Law, Municipal Ordinances & Policy

31 The LORD spoke to Moses: 2 Look, I have chosen Bezalel, Uri’s son and
Hur’s grandson from the tribe of Judah. 3 I have filled him with the divine
spirit, with skill, ability, and knowledge for every kind of work. 4 He will be
able to create designs; do metalwork in gold, silver, and copper; 5 cut stones
for setting; carve wood; and do every kind of work. 6 I have also appointed
with him Oholiab, Ahisamach’s son from the tribe of Dan. To all who are
skillful, I have given the skill to make everything that I have commanded
you: 7 the meeting tent, the chest containing the covenant, the cover that is
on top of it, all the tent’s furnishings, 8 the table and its equipment, the pure
lampstand with all its equipment, the incense altar, 9 the altar for entirely
burned offerings with all its equipment, the washbasin with its stand, 10 the
woven clothing, the holy clothes for Aaron the priest and for his sons for
their service as priests, 11 the anointing oil, and the sweet-smelling incense for
the sanctuary. They will do just as I have commanded you.
Instructions for Keeping the Sabbath
12 The LORD said to Moses: 13 Tell the Israelites: “Be sure to keep my sabbaths,
because the Sabbath is a sign between me and you in every generation so
you will know that I am the LORD who makes you holy. 14 Keep the Sabbath,
because it is holy for you. Everyone who violates the Sabbath will be put to
death. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath, that person will be cut off
from the people. 15 Do your work for six days. But the seventh day is a
Sabbath of complete rest that is holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work
on the Sabbath day will be put to death. 16 The Israelites should keep the
Sabbath. They should observe the Sabbath in every generation as a
covenant for all time. 17 It is a sign forever between me and the Israelites
that in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the
seventh day the LORD rested and was refreshed.”

When God finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, God gave him the
two covenant tablets, the stone tablets written by God’s finger.
Worshipping the Gold Bull Calf
32 The people saw that Moses was taking a long time to come down from
the mountain. They gathered around Aaron and said to him, “Come on!
Make us gods [a] who can lead us. As for this man Moses who brought us up
out of the land of Egypt, we don’t have a clue what has happened to him.”

wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.” 3 So all the
people took out the gold rings from their ears and brought them to
