Exodus 31

1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 See, I have called by name, Bezaleel, son of Uri, son of Hur of the tribe of Judah;

"Look, I have called by name Bezalel 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 skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,

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 for setting, and in carving of wood, 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—

I, look, I 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 tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony; and the propitiatory which is thereupon, and all the utensils of the tent;

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

8 and the table, and its utensils, and the pure lampstand, and all its utensils, —and the incense altar;

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

9 and the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, and all its utensils, and the laver, and its stand;

the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, the basin and its base,

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;

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 fragrant incense for the holy place, according to all which 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 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses saying—

The LORD spoke to 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 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 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:

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 in it, 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 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 Therefore shall the sons of Israel keep the sabbath, —by making it a Day of Rest to your generations, as an age-abiding 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 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 forever; 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,

He gave to Moses, when he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, stone tablets, written by the finger of God.
