Exodus 31

1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

And 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,

“Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, from 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, with wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge in every craft,

4 to devise devices to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

in order to design whatever must be fabricated from gold, and silver, and brass,

5 and in graving of stone for settings, and in graving of wood to work in all work.

from marble, and precious stones, and various woods.

6 'And I, lo, I have given with him Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, and in the heart of every wise-hearted one I have given wisdom, and they have made all that which I have commanded thee.

And I have given to him, as his associate, Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan. And I have placed wisdom in the heart of every artisan, so that they may make everything as I have instructed you:

7 'The tent of meeting, and the ark of testimony, and the mercy-seat which [is] on it, and all the vessels of the tent,

the tabernacle of the covenant, and the ark of the testimony, and the propitiatory which is over it, and all the vessels of the tabernacle,

8 and the table and its vessels, and the pure candlestick and all its vessels, and the altar of the perfume,

and the table and its vessels, the most pure lampstand with its vessels, and the altars of incense

9 and the altar of the burnt-offering and all its vessels, and the laver and its base,

and of holocaust and all their vessels, the washtub with its base,

10 and the coloured garments, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, for acting as priests in;

the holy vestments for the ministry of Aaron the priest, and for his sons, so that they may execute their office of sacred rites,

11 and the anointing oil, and the perfume of the spices for the sanctuary; according to all that I have commanded thee — they do.'

the oil of unction, and the incense of aromatics in the Sanctuary. All the things that I have instructed you, they shall make.”

12 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

13 'And thou, speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Only, My sabbaths ye do keep, for it [is] a sign between Me and you, to your generations, to know that I, Jehovah, am sanctifying you;

“Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: See that you keep my Sabbath. For it is a sign between me and you among your generations, so that you may know that I am the Lord, who sanctifies you.

14 and ye have kept the sabbath, for it [is] holy to you, he who is polluting it is certainly put to death — for any who doeth work in it — that person hath even been cut off from the midst of his people.

Keep my Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Whoever will have polluted it, shall die a death. Whoever will have done any work in it, his soul shall perish from the midst of his people.

15 'Six days is work done, and in the seventh day [is] a sabbath of holy rest to Jehovah; any who doeth work in the sabbath-day is certainly put to death,

For six days you shall do work. On the seventh day, it is the Sabbath, a rest sanctified by the Lord. All who will have done work on this day shall die.

16 and the sons of Israel have observed the sabbath; to keep the sabbath to their generations [is] a covenant age-during,

Let the sons of Israel keep the Sabbath, and let them celebrate it throughout their generations. It is an everlasting covenant

17 between Me and the sons of Israel it [is] a sign — to the age; for six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, and in the seventh day He hath ceased, and is refreshed.'

between me and the sons of Israel, and a perpetual sign. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and in the seventh he ceased from work.”

18 And He giveth unto Moses, when He finisheth speaking with him in mount Sinai, two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written by the finger of God.

And the Lord, having completed speaking in this way on Mount Sinai, gave to Moses two stone tablets of testimony, written with the finger of God.
