1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Chur, of the tribe of Judah:

“Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

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,

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 devise works of art, to work in gold, and in silver, and in copper,

to devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,

5 And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in the carving of wood, to work in all manner of workmanship.

and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of workmanship.

6 And behold, I have also given with him Aholiab, the son of Achissamach, of the tribe of Dan, and in the heart of all that are wise-hearted have l put wisdom; and they shall make all that I have commanded thee;

Behold, I myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you:

7 The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the cover that is thereupon, and all the vessels of the tabernacle;

the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the covenant, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent,

8 And the table and its vessels, and the pure candlestick with all its vessels, and the altar of incense;

the table and its vessels, the pure lamp stand with all its vessels, the altar of incense,

9 And the altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and the laver and its foot;

10 And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister therein;

the finely worked garments—the holy garments for Aaron the priest, the garments of his sons to minister in the priest’s office—

11 And the anointing oil, and the incense of spices for the holy place: all as I have commanded thee shall they do.

the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded you they shall do.”

12 And the Lord said unto Moses as followeth,

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

13 And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Above all, my sabbaths shall ye keep; for a sign it is between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord who doth sanctify you.

“Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Most certainly you shall keep my Sabbaths; for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.

14 And ye shall keep the sabbath, for it is holy unto you; every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death; for whosoever doeth any work thereon, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

You shall keep the Sabbath 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 Six days may work be done; but on the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth any work on the sabbath-day, shall surely be put to death.

Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.

16 And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

17 Between me and the children of Israel it shall be a sign for ever; for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed:

It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.’”

18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had finished speaking with him upon mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, inscribed with the finger of God.

When he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, he gave Moses the two tablets of the covenant, stone tablets, written with God’s finger.
