NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Yahweh then spoke to Moses and said,	1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 'Look, I have singled out Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,	2 Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda,
3 and have filled him with the spirit of God in wisdom, knowledge and skil in every kind of craft:	3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and understanding, and knowledge in all manner of work.
4 in designing and carrying out work in gold and silver and bronze,	4 To devise whatsoever may be artificially made of gold, and silver, and brass,
5 in cutting stones to be set, in wood carving and in executing every kind of work.	5 Of marble, and precious stones, and variety of wood.
6 And to help him I have given him Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, and have endowedthe hearts of al the skilled men with the skil to make everything I have ordered you:	6 And I have given him for his companion Ooliab the son of Achisamech of the tribe of Dan. And I have put wisdom in the heart of every skilful man, that they may make all things which I have commanded thee,
7 the Tent of Meeting; the ark of the Testimony; the mercy-seat above it; and all the furniture of the tent;	7 The tabernacle of the covenant, and the ark of the testimony, and the propitiatory that is over it, and all the vessels of the tabernacle,
8 the table and al its accessories; the pure lamp-stand and al its equipment; the altar of incense;	8 And the table and the vessels thereof, the most pure candlestick with the vessels thereof, and the altars of incense,
9 the altar of burnt offerings and al its accessories; the basin and its stand;	9 And of holocaust, and all their vessels, the laver with its foot,
10 the liturgical vestments, the sacred vestments for Aaron the priest, and the vestments for his sons,for their priestly functions;	10 The holy vestments in the ministry for Aaron the priest, and for his sons, that they may execute their office about the sacred things:
11 the anointing oil and the fragrant incense for the sanctuary. They wil do everything as I have orderedyou.'	11 The oil of unction, and the incense of spices in the sanctuary, all things which I have commanded thee, shall they make.
12 Yahweh then said to Moses,	12 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
13 'Speak to the Israelites and say, "You wil keep my Sabbaths properly, for this is a sign betweenmyself and you for all your generations to come, so that you will know that it is I, Yahweh, who sanctify you.	13 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: See that thou keep my sabbath: because it is a sign between me and you in your generations: that you may know that I am the Lord, who sanctify you.
14 You wil keep the Sabbath, then; you wil regard it as holy. Anyone who profanes it wil be put todeath; anyone who does any work on that day wil be outlawed from his people.	14 Keep you my sabbath: for it is holy unto you: he that shall profane it, shall be put to death: he that shall do my work in it, his soul shall perish out of the midst of his people.
15 Work must be done for six days, but the seventh day wil be a day of complete rest, consecrated toYahweh. Anyone who works on the Sabbath day wil be put to death.	15 Six days shall you do work: in the seventh day is the sabbath, the rest holy to the Lord. Every one that shall do any work on this day, shall die.
16 The Israelites wil keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath for all their generations to come: this isan eternal covenant.	16 Let the children of Israel keep the sabbath, and celebrate it in their generations. It is an everlasting covenant
17 Between myself and the Israelites, this is a sign for ever, for in six days Yahweh made heaven andearth, but on the seventh day he rested and drew breath."	17 Between me and the children 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 When he had finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of theTestimony, tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.	18 And the Lord, when he had ended these words in mount Sinai, gave to Moses two stone tables of testimony, written with the finger of God.
