Exodus 31

  1. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
  2. See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
  3. And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
  4. To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
  5. And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
  6. And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;
  7. The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,
  8. And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,
  9. And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,
  10. And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office,
  11. And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
  12. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

How these connections are counted

Sources. Scripture text is the King James Version (public domain). Hebrew is the Westminster Leningrad Codex (public domain) with STEPBible tagging and lexicon data (CC BY 4.0). Old Testament cross references come from OpenBible.info (CC BY). Connections come from the scripture links in every general conference talk from April 2000 through October 2026, plus scripture lists in Weak Things sketch notes for selected apostles’ talks from 1971–1999. Latter-day Saint scholarship, other Christian commentaries, Jewish interpretation and historical sources are labeled separately.

Distinct talks, not mentions. Each talk counts once per verse. Badges show whether the talk cites this exact verse or a passage that includes it, and whether the link is in a footnote or the talk text. Frequency is not a measure of doctrinal importance.

Your own words, their link. Summaries are Weak Things’ own. Talk text is not reproduced; every card links to the original talk on the Church’s site. This independent study tool does not speak for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
