Bezalel and Oholiab
Exo 31:2-4 LSB - [2] "See, I have called by name Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

Exo 31:6 LSB - [6] "And behold, I Myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all who are wise at heart I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you:
The Sign of the Sabbath
Exo 31:13 LSB - [13] "But as for you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'You shall surely keep My sabbaths; for [this] is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am Yahweh who makes you holy.
Exo 31:14-15 LSB - [14] 'Therefore you shall keep 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. [15] 'Six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a sabbath of complete rest, holy to Yahweh; whoever does any work on the sabbath day shall surely be put to death.
Exo 31:18 LSB - [18] When 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.
Christopher Wordsworth (1862)
1 O day of rest and gladness,
O day of joy and light,
O balm of care and sadness,
most beautiful, most bright;
on thee the high and lowly,
through ages joined in tune,
sing "Holy, holy, holy,"
to the great God Triune.
2 On thee, at the creation,
the light first had its birth;
on thee, for our salvation,
Christ rose from depths of earth;
on thee, our Lord victorious,
the Spirit sent from heav'n;
and thus on thee, most glorious,
a triple light was given.
3 Today on weary nations
the heav'nly manna falls;
to holy convocations
the silver trumpet calls,
where gospel light is glowing
with pure and radiant beams,
and living water flowing
with soul-refreshing streams.
4 New graces ever gaining
from this our day of rest,
we reach the rest remaining
to spirits of the blest;
to Holy Ghost be praises,
to Father, and to Son;
the church her voice upraises
to Thee, blest Three in One.
The Golden Calf
Exo 32:1 LSB - [1] Then the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain. So the people assembled about Aaron and said to him, "Arise, make us gods who will go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him."
Exo 32:13-14 LSB - [13] "Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants to whom You swore by Yourself, and You said to them, 'I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens, and all this land of which I have spoken I will give to your seed, and they shall inherit [it] forever.'" [14] So Yahweh relented concerning the harm which He said He would do to His people.
Exo 32:32-33 LSB - [32] "But now, if You will forgive their sin--but if not, please blot me out from Your book which You have written!" [33] And Yahweh said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.
When Israel heard the fiery law,From Sinai’s top proclaimed;Their hearts seemed full of holy awe,Their stubborn spirits tamed.Yet, as forgetting all they knew,Ere forty days were past;With blazing Sinai still in view,A molten calf they cast.Yea, Aaron, God’s anointed priest,Who on the mount had beenHe durst prepare the idol–beast,And lead them on to sin.LORD, what is man! and what are we,To recompense thee thus!In their offence our own we see,Their story points at us.From Sinai we have heard thee speak,And from mount Calv’ry too;And yet to idols oft we seek,While thou art in our view.Some golden calf, or golden dream,Some fancied creature–good,Presumes to share the heart with him,Who bought the whole with blood.LORD, save us from our golden calves,Our sin with grief we own;We would no more be thine by halves,But live to thee alone.
Moses and the Tent of Meeting
Exo 33:3 LSB - [3] "[Go up] to a land flowing with milk and honey; for I will not go up in your midst because you are a stiff-necked people, lest I consume you on the way."
Exo 33:5 LSB - [5] So Yahweh said to Moses, "Say to the sons of Israel, 'You are a stiff-necked people; should I go up in your midst for one moment, I would consume you. So now, put off your ornaments from you, that I may know what I shall do with you.'"
Exo 33:7 LSB - [7] Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, a good distance from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And everyone who sought Yahweh would go out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp.
Exo 33:11 LSB - [11] Thus Yahweh used to speak to Moses face to face, just as a man speaks to his friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, and his attendant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, would not depart from the tent.
Moses and the Glory of Yahweh
Exo 33:16-17 LSB - [16] "Indeed, how then can it be known that I have found favor in Your sight, I and Your people? Is it not by Your going with us, so that we, I and Your people, may be distinguished from all the [other] people who are upon the face of the earth?" [17] Then Yahweh said to Moses, "I will also do this thing of which you have spoken; for you have found favor in My sight, and I have known you by name."
Exo 33:18-23 LSB -
[18] Then Moses said, "I pray You, show me Your glory!"
[19] And He said, "I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of Yahweh before you; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will show compassion on whom I will show compassion."
[20] But He said, "You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!"
[21] Then Yahweh said, "Behold, there is a place by Me, and you shall stand [there] on the rock;
[22] and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by.
[23] "Then I will remove My hand, and you shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen."
He Hideth My Soul
Author: Fanny Crosby (1890)
1. A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,A wonderful Savior to me;He's hiding my soul in the cleft of the rock,Where rivers of pleasure I see.Refrain:He's hiding my soul in the cleft of the rockThat shadows a dry, thirsty land;He's hiding my life in the depths of his loveAnd cov'ring me there with his hand,And cov'ring me there with his hand.2. A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord;He carries my burdens away,He's holding me up, and I shall not be moved;He's giving me strength day by day. [Refrain]3. With numberless blessings each moment he crownsAnd fills with his fullness divine;I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to GodFor such a Redeemer is mine. [Refrain]4. When clothed in his brightness, transported I riseTo meet him in clouds of the sky,His perfect salvation, his wonderful love,I'll shout with the millions on high. [Refrain]
