Exodus 31

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

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 Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

3 and have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in every work,

I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship,

4 to devise artistic work — to work in gold, and in silver, and in copper,

to devise skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,

5 and in cutting of stones, for setting, and for carving of timber — to work in all manner of work.

and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of workmanship.

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 —

Behold, I myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you:

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 Tent of Meeting, the ark of the covenant, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent,

8 and the table and its utensils, and the pure lamp-stand and all its utensils, and the altar of incense;

the table and its vessels, the pure lamp stand with all its vessels, the altar of incense,

9 and the altar of burnt-offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand;

the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, the basin and its base,

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 finely worked garments—the holy garments for Aaron the priest, the garments of his sons to minister in the priest’s office—

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

12 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

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 also to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Most certainly you shall keep my Sabbaths; for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies 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.

You shall keep the Sabbath therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from amongst 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 work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.

16 And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations — [it is] an everlasting covenant.

Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual 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.

It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.’”

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.

When he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, he gave Moses the two tablets of the covenant, stone tablets, written with God’s finger.
