Exodus 31
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 I have made selection of Bezalel, the son of Uri, by name, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
3 And I have given him the spirit of God and made him wise and full of knowledge and expert in every sort of handwork,
and have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in every work,
4 To do all sorts of delicate work in gold and silver and brass;
to devise artistic work — to work in gold, and in silver, and in copper,
5 In cutting stones for framing, and to do every form of woodwork.
and in cutting of stones, for setting, and for carving of timber — to work in all manner of work.
6 And I have made selection of Oholiab with him, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all who are wise I have put the knowledge to make whatever I have given you orders to have made;
And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of every one that is wise-hearted have I given wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee —
7 The Tent of meeting, and the ark of the law, and the cover which is on it, and all the things for the tent,
the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy-seat that is thereupon, and all the utensils of the tent,
8 And the table with its vessels, and the holy light-support with all its vessels, and the altar for the burning of spices,
and the table and its utensils, and the pure lamp-stand and all its utensils, and the altar of incense;
9 And the altar of burned offerings with all its vessels, and the washing-vessel with its base,
and the altar of burnt-offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand;
10 And the robes of needlework, the holy robes for Aaron and for his sons, for their use when acting as priests,
and the garments of service, both the holy garments of Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to serve as priests;
11 And the holy oil, and the perfume of sweet spices for the holy place; they will do whatever I have given you orders to have done.
and the anointing oil, and the incense of fragrant drugs for the sanctuary: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
12 And the Lord said to Moses,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
13 Say to the children of Israel that they are to keep my Sabbaths; for the Sabbath day is a sign between me and you through all your generations; so that you may see that I am the Lord who makes you holy.
And thou, speak thou unto the children of Israel, saying, Surely my sabbaths shall ye keep; for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that ye may know that it is I, Jehovah, who do hallow you.
14 So you are to keep the Sabbath as a holy day; and anyone not honouring it will certainly be put to death: whoever does any work on that day will be cut off from his people.
Keep the sabbath, therefore; for it is holy unto you; every one that profaneth it shall certainly be put to death: yea, whoever doeth work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his peoples.
15 Six days may work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death.
Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, holy to Jehovah: whoever doeth work on the sabbath day shall certainly be put to death.
16 And the children of Israel are to keep the Sabbath holy, from generation to generation, by an eternal agreement.
And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations — [it is] an everlasting covenant.
17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever; because in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he took his rest and had pleasure in it.
It shall be a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever; for [in] six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
18 And when his talk with Moses on Mount Sinai was ended, he gave him the two stones of the law, two stones on which was the writing made by the finger of God.
And he gave to Moses, when he had ended speaking with him on mount Sinai, the two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
