Exodus 31

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

2 “Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, from 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 filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge in every craft,

and I fill him [with] the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work,

4 in order to design whatever must be fabricated from gold, and silver, and brass,

to devise inventions to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,

5 from marble, and precious stones, and various woods.

and in a carving of stone for settings, and in a carving of wood to work in all work.

6 And I have given to him, as his associate, Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan. And I have placed wisdom in the heart of every artisan, so that they may make everything as I have instructed you:

And I, behold, have given with him Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, and I have given wisdom in the heart of every wise-hearted one, and they have made all that which I have commanded you.

7 the tabernacle of the covenant, and the ark of the testimony, and the propitiatory which is over it, and all the vessels of the tabernacle,

The Tent of Meeting, and the Ark of Testimony, and the propitiatory covering which [is] on it, and all the vessels of the tent,

8 and the table and its vessels, the most pure lampstand with its vessels, and the altars of incense

and the table and its vessels, and the pure lampstand and all its vessels, and the altar of the incense,

9 and of holocaust and all their vessels, the washtub with its base,

and the altar of the burnt-offering and all its vessels, and the laver and its base,

10 the holy vestments for the ministry of Aaron the priest, and for his sons, so that they may execute their office of sacred rites,

and the colored garments, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, for acting as priests in;

11 the oil of unction, and the incense of aromatics in the Sanctuary. All the things that I have instructed you, they shall make.”

and the anointing oil, and the incense of the spices for the holy place; according to all that I have commanded you—they do.”

12 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

13 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: See that you keep my Sabbath. For it is a sign between me and you among your generations, so that you may know that I am the Lord, who sanctifies you.

“And you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, Surely you keep My Sabbaths, for it [is] a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, to know that I, YHWH, am sanctifying you;

14 Keep my Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Whoever will have polluted it, shall die a death. Whoever will have done any work in it, his soul shall perish from the midst of his people.

and you have kept the Sabbath, for it [is] holy to you, he who is defiling it is certainly put to death—for any who does work in it—that person has even been cut off from the midst of his people.

15 For six days you shall do work. On the seventh day, it is the Sabbath, a rest sanctified by the Lord. All who will have done work on this day shall die.

[For] six days work is done, and in the seventh day [is] a Sabbath of holy rest to YHWH; any who does work in the Sabbath day is certainly put to death,

16 Let the sons of Israel keep the Sabbath, and let them celebrate it throughout their generations. It is an everlasting covenant

and the sons of Israel have observed the Sabbath; to keep the Sabbath throughout their generations [is] a perpetual covenant—

17 between me and the sons of Israel, and a perpetual sign. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and in the seventh he ceased from work.”

it [is] a sign between Me and the sons of Israel for all time; for [in] six days YHWH made the heavens and the earth, and in the seventh day He has ceased and is refreshed.”

18 And the Lord, having completed speaking in this way on Mount Sinai, gave to Moses two stone tablets of testimony, written with the finger of God.

And He gives to Moses, when He finishes speaking with him in Mount Sinai, two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written by the finger of God.
