1Then the LORD said to Moses,
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2“See, I have called by name Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
2Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda,
3And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,
3And I have filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and understanding, and knowledge in all manner of work.
4to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze,
4To devise whatsoever may be artificially made of gold, and silver, and brass,
5to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every craft.
5Of marble, and precious stones, and variety of wood.
6Moreover, I have selected Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, as his assistant. I have also given skill to all the craftsmen, that they may fashion all that I have commanded you:
6And 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 skillful man, that they may make all things which I have commanded thee,
7the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony and the mercy seat upon it, and all the other furnishings of the tent—
7The tabernacle of the covenant, and the ark of the testimony, and the propitiatory that is over it, and all the vessels of the tabernacle,
8the table with its utensils, the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense,
8And the table and the vessels thereof, the most pure candlestick with the vessels thereof, and the altars of incense,
9the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its stand—
9And of holocaust, and all their vessels, the laver with its foot,
10as well as the woven garments, both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests,
10The holy vestments in the ministry for Aaron the priest, and for his sons, that they may execute their office about the sacred things:
11in addition to the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them according to all that I have commanded you.”
11The oil of unction, and the incense of spices in the sanctuary, all things which I have commanded thee, shall they make.
12And the LORD said to Moses,
12And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
13“Tell the Israelites, ‘Surely you must keep My Sabbaths, for this will be a sign between Me and you for the generations to come, so that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
13Speak 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.
14Keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Anyone who profanes it must surely be put to death. Whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from among his people.
14Keep 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.
15For six days work may be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must surely be put to death.
15Six 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.
16The Israelites must keep the Sabbath, celebrating it as a permanent covenant for the generations to come.
16Let the children of Israel keep the sabbath, and celebrate it in their generations. It is an everlasting covenant
17It is a sign between Me and the Israelites forever; for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, but on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’”
17Between 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.
18When the LORD had finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, He gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.
18And 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.
