Exodus 31
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 “See, I have called by name Bezaleel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
3 and I fill him [with] the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work,
and I 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 inventions to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
to devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
5 and in a carving of stone for settings, and in a carving of wood to work in all work.
and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of workmanship.
6 And I, behold, have given with him Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, and I have given wisdom in the heart of every wise-hearted one, and they have made all that which I have commanded you.
And I, behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, 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:
7 The Tent of Meeting, and the Ark of Testimony, and the propitiatory covering which [is] on it, and all the vessels of the tent,
the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy-seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the Tent;
8 and the table and its vessels, and the pure lampstand and all its vessels, and the altar of the incense,
and the table and its vessels, and the pure candlestick with all its vessels, and the altar of incense;
9 and the altar of the burnt-offering and all its vessels, and the laver and its base,
and the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, and the laver and its base;
10 and the colored garments, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, for acting as priests in;
and the finely wrought garments, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office;
11 and the anointing oil, and the incense of the spices for the holy place; according to all that I have commanded you—they do.”
and the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
12 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
13 “And you, speak to the sons of Israel, saying, Surely you keep My Sabbaths, for it [is] a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, to know that I, YHWH, am sanctifying you;
Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily ye shall keep my sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD which sanctify you.
14 and you have kept the Sabbath, for it [is] holy to you, he who is defiling it is certainly put to death—for any who does work in it—that person has even been cut off from the midst of his people.
Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that profaneth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15 [For] six days work is done, and in the seventh day [is] a Sabbath of holy rest to YHWH; any who does work in the Sabbath day is certainly put to death,
Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
16 and the sons of Israel have observed the Sabbath; to keep the Sabbath throughout their generations [is] a perpetual covenant—
Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17 it [is] a sign between Me and the sons of Israel for all time; for [in] six days YHWH made the heavens and the earth, and in the seventh day He has ceased and is refreshed.”
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
18 And He gives to Moses, when He finishes speaking with him in Mount Sinai, two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written by the finger of God.
And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
