< Exodus 31 >
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda,
3 and have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in every work,
And I have filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and understanding, and knowledge in all manner of work.
4 to devise artistic work — to work in gold, and in silver, and in copper,
To devise whatsoever may be artificially made of gold, and silver, and brass,
5 and in cutting of stones, for setting, and for carving of timber — to work in all manner of work.
Of marble, and precious stones, and variety of wood.
6 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 —
And I have given him for his companion Ooliab the son of Achisamech of the tribe of Dan. And I have put wisdom in the heart of every skillful man, that they may make all things which I have commanded thee,
7 the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy-seat that is thereupon, and all the utensils of the tent,
The tabernacle of the covenant, and the ark of the testimony, and the propitiatory that is over it, and all the vessels of the tabernacle,
8 and the table and its utensils, and the pure lamp-stand and all its utensils, and the altar of incense;
And the table and the vessels thereof, the most pure candlestick with the vessels thereof, and the altars of incense,
9 and the altar of burnt-offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand;
And of holocaust, and all their vessels, the laver with its foot,
10 and the garments of service, both the holy garments of Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to serve as priests;
The holy vestments in the ministry for Aaron the priest, and for his sons, that they may execute their office about the sacred things:
11 and the anointing oil, and the incense of fragrant drugs for the sanctuary: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
The oil of unction, and the incense of spices in the sanctuary, all things which I have commanded thee, shall they make.
12 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
13 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.
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: See that thou keep my sabbath: because it is a sign between me and you in your generations: that you may know that I am the Lord, who sanctify you.
14 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.
Keep you my sabbath: for it is holy unto you: he that shall profane it, shall be put to death: he that shall do my work in it, his soul shall perish out of the midst of his people.
15 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.
Six days shall you do work: in the seventh day is the sabbath, the rest holy to the Lord. Every one that shall do any work on this day, shall die.
16 And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations — [it is] an everlasting covenant.
Let the children of Israel keep the sabbath, and celebrate it in their generations. It is an everlasting covenant
17 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.
Between me and the children of Israel, and a perpetual sign. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and in the seventh he ceased from work.
18 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.
And the Lord, when he had ended these words in mount Sinai, gave to Moses two stone tables of testimony, written with the finger of God.
