Exodus 31
1 Then spake Yahweh 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 Beseleel the son of Urias the son of Or, of the tribe of Juda.
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] a divine spirit of wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge, to invent in every work,
4 to devise skilful designs, to work in gold and in silver, and in bronze;
and to frame works, to labour in gold, and silver, and brass, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet,
5 and in the cutting of stones for setting, and in the carving of wood, —to work in all manner of workmanship,
and works in stone, and for artificers' work in wood, to work at all works.
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 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 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 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 utensils, and the pure lampstand, and all its utensils, —and the incense altar;
and the altars, and the table and all its furniture,
9 and the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, and all its utensils, and the laver, and its stand;
and the pure candlestick and all its furniture, and the laver 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;
and Aaron's robes of ministry, and the robes of his sons to minister to me as priests,
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 the compound incense of the sanctuary; according to all that I have commanded thee shall they make them.
12 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses saying—
And 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.
Do thou also charge the children of Israel, saying, Take heed and keep my sabbaths; [for] they are a sign with me and among you throughout your generations, that ye may know that I am the Lord that 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:
And ye 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, 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 thou shalt 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 Therefore shall the sons of Israel keep the sabbath, —by making it a Day of Rest to your generations, as an age-abiding covenant:
And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbaths, to observe them throughout their generations.
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 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 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 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.
