1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
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 Urias the son of Or, 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] a divine spirit of wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge, to invent in every work,
4 To devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
and to frame works, to labour in gold, and silver, and brass, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet,
5 And in cutting of stones to set [them], and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
and works in stone, and for artificers' work in wood, to work at all works.
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 appointed him and Eliab the [son] of Achisamach of the tribe of Dan, and to every one understanding in heart I have given understanding; and they shall make all things as many as I have appointed you, —
7 The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy-seat that [is] upon it, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,
the tabernacle of witness, and the ark of the covenant, and the propitiatory that is upon it, and the furniture of the tabernacle,
8 And the table and its furniture, and the pure candlestick with all its furniture, and the altar of incense,
and the altars, and the table and all its furniture,
9 And the altar of burnt-offering, with all its furniture, and the laver and its foot,
and the pure candlestick and all its furniture, and the laver and its base,
10 And the clothes of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office,
and Aaron's robes of ministry, and the robes of his sons to minister to me as priests,
11 And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy [place]: according to all that I have commanded thee, shall they do.
and the anointing oil and the compound incense of the sanctuary; according to all that I have commanded you shall they make them.
12 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
13 Speak thou also to 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.
Do you also charge the children of Israel, saying, Take heed and keep my sabbaths; [for] they are a sign with me and amongst you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord that sanctifies you.
14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore: for it [is] holy to you. Every one that profaneth it shall surely be put to death: for whoever doeth [any] work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
And you shall keep the sabbaths, because this is holy to the Lord for you; he that profanes it shall surely be put to death: every one who shall do a work on it, that soul shall be destroyed from the midst of his people.
15 Six days may work be done, but in the seventh [is] the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whoever doeth [any] work in the sabbath-day, he shall surely be put to death.
Six days you shall do works, but the seventh day is the sabbath, a holy rest to the Lord; every one who shall do a work on the seventh day shall be put to death.
16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, [for] a perpetual covenant.
And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbaths, to observe them throughout their generations.
17 [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.
It is a perpetual covenant with me and the children of Israel, it is a perpetual sign with me; for in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and on the seventh day he ceased, and rested.
18 And to Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, he gave two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
And he gave to Moses when he left off speaking to him in mount Sina the two tables of testimony, tables of stone written [upon] with the finger of God.
