Exodus 31

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

2 Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda,

Behold, I haue called by name, Bezaleel the sonne of Vri, the sonne of Hur of the tribe of Iudah,

3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and understanding, and knowledge in all manner of work.

Whom I haue filled with the Spirit of God, in wisedome, and in vnderstanding and in knowledge and in all workmanship:

4 To devise whatsoever may be artificially made of gold, and silver, and brass,

To finde out curious workes to worke in golde, and in siluer, and in brasse,

5 Of marble, and precious stones, and variety of wood.

Also in the arte to set stones, and to carue in timber, and to worke in all maner of workmaship.

6 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,

And behold, I haue ioyned with him Aholiab the sonne of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted, haue I put wisdome to make all that I haue commanded thee:

7 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,

That is, the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and the Arke of the Testimonie, and the Merciseate that shalbe therevpon, with all instruments of the Tabernacle:

8 And the table and the vessels thereof, the most pure candlestick with the vessels thereof, and the altars of incense,

Also the Table and the instruments thereof, and the pure Candlesticke with all his instruments, and the Altar of perfume:

9 And of holocaust, and all their vessels, the laver with its foot,

Likewise the Altar of burnt offring with al his instruments, and the Lauer with his foote:

10 The holy vestments in the ministry for Aaron the priest, and for his sons, that they may execute their office about the sacred things:

Also the garments of the ministration, and ye holy garments for Aaron ye Priest, and the garmets of his sonnes, to minister in the Priestes office,

11 The oil of unction, and the incense of spices in the sanctuary, all things which I have commanded thee, shall they make.

And the anoynting oyle, and sweete perfume for the Sanctuarie: according to all that I haue commanded thee, shall they do.

12 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Afterwarde the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

13 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.

Speake thou also vnto the children of Israel, and say, Notwithstanding keepe yee my Sabbaths: for it is a signe betweene me and you in your generations, that ye may know that I the Lord do sanctifie you.

14 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.

Ye shall therefore keepe the Sabbath: for it is holy vnto you: he that defileth it, shall die the death: therefore whosoeuer worketh therin, the same person shalbe euen cut off from among his people.

15 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.

Sixe dayes shall men worke, but in the seuenth day is the Sabbath of the holy rest to the Lord: whosoeuer doeth any worke in the Sabbath day, shall dye the death.

16 Let the children of Israel keep the sabbath, and celebrate it in their generations. It is an everlasting covenant

Wherfore the children of Israel shall keepe the Sabbath, that they may obserue the rest throughout their generations for an euerlasting couenant.

17 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.

It is a signe betweene me and the children of Israel for euer: for in sixe dayes the Lord made the heauen and the earth, and in the seuenth day he ceased, and rested.

18 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.

Thus (when the Lord had made an ende of communing with Moses vpon mount Sinai) he gaue him two Tables of the Testimonie, euen tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
