Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
2 Behold, I haue called by name, Bezaleel the sonne of Vri, the sonne of Hur of the tribe of Iudah,
“Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah [Praised]:
3 Whom I haue filled with the Spirit of God, in wisedome, and in vnderstanding and in knowledge and in all workmanship:
and 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 finde out curious workes to worke in golde, and in siluer, and in brasse,
to devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
5 Also in the arte to set stones, and to carue in timber, and to worke in all maner of workmaship.
and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of workmanship.
6 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:
Behold, I myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan [He judged]; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have enjoined you:
7 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:
the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent,
8 Also the Table and the instruments thereof, and the pure Candlesticke with all his instruments, and the Altar of perfume:
the table and its utensils, the pure menorah ·lamp· with all its utensils, the altar of incense,
9 Likewise the Altar of burnt offring with al his instruments, and the Lauer with his foote:
the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, the basin and its base,
10 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,
the finely worked garments— the holy garments for Aaron [Light-bringer] the priest— the garments of his sons to minister in the priest’s office,
11 And the anoynting oyle, and sweete perfume for the Sanctuarie: according to all that I haue commanded thee, shall they do.
the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have enjoined you they shall do.”
12 Afterwarde the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
13 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.
“Speak also to the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, ‘Most certainly you shall keep my Sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you throughout all your generations; that you may know that I am Yahweh M’Kaddesh [Yahweh our Santifier / He sustains breathing who makes you holy].
14 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.
You shall keep the Sabbath ·To cease· 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 among his people.
15 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.
Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath ·To cease· of solemn rest, holy to Adonai. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath ·To cease· day shall surely be put to death.
16 Wherfore the children of Israel shall keepe the Sabbath, that they may obserue the rest throughout their generations for an euerlasting couenant.
Therefore the children of Israel [God prevails] shall keep the Sabbath ·To cease·, to observe the Sabbath ·To cease· throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·.
17 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.
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel [God prevails] forever; for in six days Adonai made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.’”
18 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.
He gave to Moses [Drawn out], when he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai [Thorn], the two tablets of the testimony, stone tablets, written with the finger of God.
