I have also chosen Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, to help him. I have also given all the craftsmen the skills needed to make everything that I have ordered you to make:

as well as anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them following all the instructions I have given you.”
12 Mgbe ahụ, Onyenwe anyị sịrị Mosis,
The Lord told Moses,
13 Gwa ndị Izrel, “Unu aghaghị ido ụbọchị izuike m nsọ. Nʼihi na nke a ga-abụ ihe ịrịbama nʼetiti mụ na unu ruo ọgbọ niile ga-abịa, ka unu maara na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị, onye na-edo unu nsọ.
“Tell the Israelites, ‘It's absolutely essential that you keep my Sabbaths. The Sabbath will be a sign between me and you for generations to come, so that you'll know that I am the Lord who makes you holy.
14 “‘Ụbọchị izuike m dị nsọ nye unu. Nʼihi nke a, unu ga-edebe ya nsọ. Ọ bụrụ na onye ọbụla edebeghị ya nsọ, ọ ga-anwụ. Ọ bụrụkwa na onye ọbụla arụọ ọrụ ọbụla nʼụbọchị izuike m, a ga-ewezuga ya site nʼebe unu nọ.
You shall keep the Sabbath because it is holy to you. Anyone who dishonors it must be killed. Anyone who works on that day must be cut off from their people.
15 Ụbọchị isii ka unu ga-arụ ọrụ unu niile. Ma ụbọchị nke asaa dị iche. Ọ bụ ụbọchị izuike. Ọ bụkwa ụbọchị dị nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị. Nʼihi nke a, onye ọbụla rụrụ ọrụ ọbụla nʼụbọchị Izuike ga-anwụ.
Six days you can work, but the seventh day is to be a Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Anyone who does any work on the Sabbath day must be killed.
16 Ndị Izrel ga-edebe ụbọchị Izuike, na-eme mmemme ya nʼọgbọ niile, dịka ọgbụgba ndụ nke ebighị ebi.
The Israelites must keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath as an everlasting agreement for generations to come.
17 Ọ ga-abụ ihe ịrịbama nke ga-adịgide nʼetiti mụ na ndị Izrel ruo mgbe ebighị ebi. Nʼihi na nʼụbọchị isii ka Onyenwe anyị kere eluigwe na ụwa. Ọ kwụsịrị ọrụ nʼụbọchị nke asaa, zuo ike, turu ndụ.’”
It's a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for the Lord made the heavens and the earth in six days, but on the seventh day he stopped and he rested.’”
18 Mgbe Onyenwe anyị gwasịrị Mosis okwu ndị a nʼelu ugwu Saịnaị, o nyere ya mbadamba nkume abụọ nke iwu ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ. Ọ bụkwa mbadamba nkume ndị ahụ nke mkpịsịaka Chineke dere ihe nʼelu ha.
When the Lord finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, stone tablets written on by the finger of God.
