Exodus 31
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
2 Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda,
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 all manner of work.
and have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and in understanding, and in knowledge and in all manner of workmanship;
4 To devise whatsoever may be artificially made of gold, and silver, and brass,
to devise skilful designs, to work in gold and in silver, and in bronze;
5 Of marble, and precious stones, and variety of wood.
and in the cutting of stones for setting, and in the carving of wood, —to work in all manner of workmanship,
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,
I myself, therefore, lo! I have given with him Oholiab, son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, and in the heart of every one that is wise-hearted, have I put wisdom, —so shall they make all that I have 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,
the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony; and the propitiatory which is thereupon, and all the utensils of the tent;
8 And the table and the vessels thereof, the most pure candlestick with the vessels thereof, and the altars of incense,
and the table, and its utensils, and the pure lampstand, and all its utensils, —and the incense altar;
9 And of holocaust, and all their vessels, the laver with its foot,
and the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, and all its utensils, and the laver, and its stand;
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:
and the cloths of variegated stuff, and the holy garments, for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, for ministering as priests;
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 anointing oil and the fragrant incense for the holy place, according to all which I have commanded thee, shall they do.
12 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Then spake Yahweh unto 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.
Thou thyself, therefore, speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Surely, my sabbaths, shall ye keep, for, a sign it is betwixt me and you to your generations, that ye may know that I Yahweh do hallow 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.
Therefore shall ye keep the sabbath, for holy, it is unto you, he that profaneth it shall be surely put to death; verily whosoever doeth therein any work that soul shall be cut off from the midst of its 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.
Six days, shall work be done, but on the seventh day, is a holy sabbath-keeping of rest unto Yahweh, —whosoever doeth work on the sabbath day, shall be, surely put to death.
16 Let the children of Israel keep the sabbath, and celebrate it in their generations. It is an everlasting covenant
Therefore shall the sons of Israel keep the sabbath, —by making it a Day of Rest to your generations, as an age-abiding covenant:
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.
between me and the sons of Israel, a sign it is unto times age-abiding, —for in six days, did Yahweh make the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day, he rested, and was refreshed.
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.
Then gave he unto Moses, as he finished speaking with him in Mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, —tables of stone, written with the finger of God,
