Exodus 31
1 Then spake Yahweh unto 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 Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
3 and 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, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
4 to devise skilful designs, 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 the cutting of stones for setting, and in the carving of wood, —to work in all manner of workmanship,
And in cutting of stones, to set [them], and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
6 I myself, therefore, lo! I have given with him Oholiab, son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, and in the heart of every one that is wise-hearted, have I put wisdom, —so shall they make all that I have commanded thee—
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;
7 the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony; and the propitiatory which is thereupon, and all the utensils of the tent;
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,
8 and the table, and its utensils, and the pure lampstand, and all its utensils, —and the incense altar;
And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,
9 and the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, and all its utensils, and the laver, and its stand;
And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,
10 and the cloths of variegated stuff, and the holy garments, for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, for ministering as priests;
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,
11 and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense for the holy place, according to all which I have commanded thee, shall they do.
And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy [place: ] according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
12 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses saying—
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
13 Thou thyself, therefore, speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Surely, my sabbaths, shall ye keep, for, a sign it is betwixt me and you to your generations, that ye may know that I Yahweh do hallow you.
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] the LORD that doth sanctify you.
14 Therefore shall ye keep the sabbath, for holy, it is unto you, he that profaneth it shall be surely put to death; verily whosoever doeth therein any work that soul shall be cut off from the midst of its people:
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.
15 Six days, shall work be done, but on the seventh day, is a holy sabbath-keeping of rest unto Yahweh, —whosoever doeth work on the sabbath day, shall be, surely put to death.
Six days may work be done; but in the seventh [is] the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth [any] work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
16 Therefore shall the sons of Israel keep the sabbath, —by making it a Day of Rest to your generations, as an age-abiding covenant:
Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, [for] a perpetual covenant.
17 between me and the sons of Israel, a sign it is unto times age-abiding, —for in six days, did Yahweh make 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 for ever: for [in] six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
18 Then gave he unto Moses, as he finished speaking with him in Mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, —tables of stone, written with the finger of God,
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.
