exodus 31:1-18

Hello to all...we've had an interesting morning all ready...we had a power outage last night and are just getting the power back on...It was nice to sit in silence by the fireside to do my study this morning...Today we read through Exodus 31:1-18.

Now the Lord spoke to Moses saying...

2"See, I have called by name Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
3"I have filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship,
4to make artistic designs for work in gold, in silver, and in bronze,

The Lord had given them instructions to do all these things...But for Moses

13"But as for you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'You shall surely observe My sabbaths; for this is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
14'Therefore you are to observe the sabbath, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people.

The Lord simply asks that Moses keep the sabath, make it holy and keep it as a sign of what they had been delivered from. As a perpetual covenant.

17"It is a sign between Me and the sons of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day He ceased from labor, and was refreshed."
18When He had finished speaking with him upon Mount Sinai, He gave Moses the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written by the finger of God.

I think it is time once a gain to review the 10 commandments...you may do so if you wish by clicking here.

please join me in reading Exodus 32:1-18
