Exodus 31
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
And the Lord spoke unto 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 Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Chur, 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 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 do all sorts of delicate work in gold and silver and brass;
To devise works of art, 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 the cutting of stones, to set them, and in the carving of wood, to work in all manner of workmanship.
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 behold, I have also given with him Aholiab, the son of Achissamach, of the tribe of Dan, and in the heart of all that are wise-hearted have l put wisdom; and they shall 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 tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the cover that is thereupon, and all the vessels of the tabernacle;
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 vessels, and the pure candlestick with all its vessels, 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 with all its vessels, and the laver and its foot;
10 And the robes of needlework, the holy robes for Aaron and for his sons, for their use when acting as priests,
And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister therein;
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 spices for the holy place: all as I have commanded thee shall they do.
12 And the Lord said to Moses,
And the Lord said unto Moses as followeth,
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 shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Above all, my sabbaths shall ye keep; for a sign it is between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord who doth sanctify 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.
And ye shall keep the sabbath, for it is holy unto you; every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death; for whosoever doeth any work thereon, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
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 may work be done; but on the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work on the sabbath-day, shall surely 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, for a perpetual 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.
Between me and the children of Israel it shall be a sign for ever; for in six days the Lord 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 unto Moses, when he had finished speaking with him upon mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, inscribed with the finger of God.
