Exodus 31
1 The Lord told Moses,
| וַיְדַבֵּר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹֽר׃ |
2 “I have chosen by name Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah.
| רְאֵה קָרָאתִֽי בְשֵׁם בְּצַלְאֵל בֶּן־אוּרִי בֶן־חוּר לְמַטֵּה יְהוּדָֽה׃ |
3 I have filled him with the Spirit of God giving him ability, creativity, and expertise in all kinds of craftsmanship.
| וָאֲמַלֵּא אֹתוֹ רוּחַ אֱלֹהִים בְּחׇכְמָה וּבִתְבוּנָה וּבְדַעַת וּבְכׇל־מְלָאכָֽה׃ |
4 He can produce designs in gold, silver, and bronze,
| לַחְשֹׁב מַחֲשָׁבֹת לַעֲשׂוֹת בַּזָּהָב וּבַכֶּסֶף וּבַנְּחֹֽשֶׁת׃ |
5 he can cut gemstones to place in settings, and he can carve wood. He is a master of every craft.
| וּבַחֲרֹשֶׁת אֶבֶן לְמַלֹּאת וּבַחֲרֹשֶׁת עֵץ לַעֲשׂוֹת בְּכׇל־מְלָאכָֽה׃ |
6 I have also chosen Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, to help him. I have also given all the craftsmen the skills needed to make everything that I have ordered you to make:
| וַאֲנִי הִנֵּה נָתַתִּי אִתּוֹ אֵת אׇהֳלִיאָב בֶּן־אֲחִֽיסָמָךְ לְמַטֵּה־דָן וּבְלֵב כׇּל־חֲכַם־לֵב נָתַתִּי חׇכְמָה וְעָשׂוּ אֵת כׇּל־אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִֽךָ׃ |
7 the Tent of Meeting, the Ark of the Testimony and its atonement cover, and all the other furniture in the Tent:
| אֵת ׀ אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד וְאֶת־הָֽאָרֹן לָֽעֵדֻת וְאֶת־הַכַּפֹּרֶת אֲשֶׁר עָלָיו וְאֵת כׇּל־כְּלֵי הָאֹֽהֶל׃ |
8 the table with its equipment, the pure gold lampstand with all its equipment, the altar of incense,
| וְאֶת־הַשֻּׁלְחָן וְאֶת־כֵּלָיו וְאֶת־הַמְּנֹרָה הַטְּהֹרָה וְאֶת־כׇּל־כֵּלֶיהָ וְאֵת מִזְבַּח הַקְּטֹֽרֶת׃ |
9 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin plus its stand;
| וְאֶת־מִזְבַּח הָעֹלָה וְאֶת־כׇּל־כֵּלָיו וְאֶת־הַכִּיּוֹר וְאֶת־כַּנּֽוֹ׃ |
10 as well as the woven clothes for both Aaron the priest and for his sons to serve as priests,
| וְאֵת בִּגְדֵי הַשְּׂרָד וְאֶת־בִּגְדֵי הַקֹּדֶשׁ לְאַהֲרֹן הַכֹּהֵן וְאֶת־בִּגְדֵי בָנָיו לְכַהֵֽן׃ |
11 as well as anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them following all the instructions I have given you.”
| וְאֵת שֶׁמֶן הַמִּשְׁחָה וְאֶת־קְטֹרֶת הַסַּמִּים לַקֹּדֶשׁ כְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר־צִוִּיתִךָ יַעֲשֽׂוּ׃ |
12 The Lord told Moses,
| וַיֹּאמֶר יְהֹוָה אֶל־מֹשֶׁה לֵּאמֹֽר׃ |
13 “Tell the Israelites, ‘It's absolutely essential that you keep my Sabbaths. The Sabbath will be a sign between me and you for generations to come, so that you'll know that I am the Lord who makes you holy.
| וְאַתָּה דַּבֵּר אֶל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר אַךְ אֶת־שַׁבְּתֹתַי תִּשְׁמֹרוּ כִּי אוֹת הִוא בֵּינִי וּבֵֽינֵיכֶם לְדֹרֹתֵיכֶם לָדַעַת כִּי אֲנִי יְהֹוָה מְקַדִּשְׁכֶֽם׃ |
14 You shall keep the Sabbath because it is holy to you. Anyone who dishonors it must be killed. Anyone who works on that day must be cut off from their people.
| וּשְׁמַרְתֶּם אֶת־הַשַּׁבָּת כִּי קֹדֶשׁ הִוא לָכֶם מְחַֽלְלֶיהָ מוֹת יוּמָת כִּי כׇּל־הָעֹשֶׂה בָהּ מְלָאכָה וְנִכְרְתָה הַנֶּפֶשׁ הַהִוא מִקֶּרֶב עַמֶּֽיהָ׃ |
15 Six days you can work, but the seventh day is to be a Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Anyone who does any work on the Sabbath day must be killed.
| שֵׁשֶׁת יָמִים יֵעָשֶׂה מְלָאכָה וּבַיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי שַׁבַּת שַׁבָּתוֹן קֹדֶשׁ לַיהֹוָה כׇּל־הָעֹשֶׂה מְלָאכָה בְּיוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת מוֹת יוּמָֽת׃ |
16 The Israelites must keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath as an everlasting agreement for generations to come.
| וְשָׁמְרוּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶת־הַשַּׁבָּת לַעֲשׂוֹת אֶת־הַשַּׁבָּת לְדֹרֹתָם בְּרִית עוֹלָֽם׃ |
17 It's a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for the Lord made the heavens and the earth in six days, but on the seventh day he stopped and he rested.’”
| בֵּינִי וּבֵין בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אוֹת הִוא לְעֹלָם כִּי־שֵׁשֶׁת יָמִים עָשָׂה יְהֹוָה אֶת־הַשָּׁמַיִם וְאֶת־הָאָרֶץ וּבַיּוֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִי שָׁבַת וַיִּנָּפַֽשׁ׃ |
18 When the Lord finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, stone tablets written on by the finger of God.
| וַיִּתֵּן אֶל־מֹשֶׁה כְּכַלֹּתוֹ לְדַבֵּר אִתּוֹ בְּהַר סִינַי שְׁנֵי לֻחֹת הָעֵדֻת לֻחֹת אֶבֶן כְּתֻבִים בְּאֶצְבַּע אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
