Exodus 31
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
And Jehovah speaketh 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 Bezaleel, son of Uri, 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 I fill him [with] the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work,
4 To do all sorts of delicate work in gold and silver and brass;
to devise devices to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
5 In cutting stones for framing, and to do every form of woodwork.
and in graving of stone for settings, and in graving of wood to work in all 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, lo, I have given with him Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, and in the heart of every wise-hearted one I have given wisdom, and they have made all that which 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 testimony, and the mercy-seat which [is] on it, and all the vessels 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 vessels, and the pure candlestick and all its vessels, and the altar of the perfume,
9 And the altar of burned offerings with all its vessels, and the washing-vessel with its base,
and the altar of the burnt-offering and all its vessels, and the laver and its base,
10 And the robes of needlework, the holy robes for Aaron and for his sons, for their use when acting as priests,
and the coloured garments, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, for acting as priests in;
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 perfume of the spices for the sanctuary; according to all that I have commanded thee — they do.'
12 And the Lord said to Moses,
And Jehovah speaketh unto 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 unto the sons of Israel, saying, Only, My sabbaths ye do keep, for it [is] a sign between Me and you, to your generations, to know that I, Jehovah, am sanctifying 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 have kept the sabbath, for it [is] holy to you, he who is polluting it is certainly put to death — for any who doeth work in it — that person hath even been cut off from the midst of 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 is work done, and in the seventh day [is] a sabbath of holy rest to Jehovah; any who doeth work in the sabbath-day is certainly 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 sons of Israel have observed the sabbath; to keep the sabbath to their generations [is] a covenant age-during,
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 sons of Israel it [is] a sign — to the age; for six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, and in the seventh day He hath ceased, and is 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 giveth unto Moses, when He finisheth speaking with him in mount Sinai, two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written by the finger of God.
