And 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 Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda,
3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
And I have filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and understanding, and knowledge in all manner of work.
4 To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
To devise whatsoever may be artificially made of gold, and silver, and brass,
5 And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
Of marble, and precious stones, and variety of wood.
6 And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;
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,
7 The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,
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,
8 And the table and his furniture, and the pure lampstand with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,
And the table and the vessels thereof, the most pure candlestick with the vessels thereof, and the altars of incense,
9 And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,
And of holocaust, and all their vessels, the laver with its foot,
10 And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office,
The holy vestments in the ministry for Aaron the priest, and for his sons, that they may execute their office about the sacred things:
11 And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
The oil of unction, and the incense of spices in the sanctuary, all things which I have commanded thee, shall they make.
12 And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am Yhwh that doth sanctify you.
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.
14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
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.
15 Six days may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to Yhwh: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
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.
16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
Let the children of Israel keep the sabbath, and celebrate it in their generations. It is an everlasting covenant
17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days Yhwh made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
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.
18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
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.
