Exodus

31 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:

2 See, I have called by name,—Bezaleel, son of Uri, 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;

4 to devise skilful designs,—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.

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:—

7 the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony; and the propitiatory which is thereupon,—and all the utensils of the tent;

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

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

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;

11 and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense for the holy place,—according to all which I have commanded thee, shall they do.

12 Then spake Yahweh unto 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.

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:

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.

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:

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.

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.
