1 Yahweh then spoke to Moses and said,1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 'Look, I have singled out Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
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, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
4 in designing and carrying out work in gold and silver and bronze,4 To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
5 in cutting stones to be set, in wood carving and in executing every kind of work.5 And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
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, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that 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 congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture 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 his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,
9 the altar of burnt offerings and al its accessories; the basin and its stand;9 And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,
10 the liturgical vestments, the sacred vestments for Aaron the priest, and the vestments for his sons,for their priestly functions;10 And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office,
11 the anointing oil and the fragrant incense for the sanctuary. They wil do everything as I have orderedyou.'11 And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
12 Yahweh then said to Moses,12 And the LORD spake unto 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 thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth 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 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among 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 may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
16 The Israelites wil keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath for all their generations to come: this isan eternal covenant.16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual 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 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.
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 he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
