1And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
1Then the LORD said to Moses,
2'See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;
2“See, I have called by name Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
3and I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,
3And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,
4to devise skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
4to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze,
5and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of workmanship.
5to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every craft.
6And I, behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, 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:
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:
7the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony, and the ark-cover that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the Tent;
7the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony and the mercy seat upon it, and all the other furnishings of the tent—
8and the table and its vessels, and the pure candlestick with all its vessels, and the altar of incense;
8the table with its utensils, the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense,
9and the altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and the laver and its base;
9the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its stand—
10and the plaited garments, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office;
10as well as the woven garments, both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests,
11and the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place; according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.'
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.”
12And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
12And the LORD said to Moses,
13'Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying: Verily ye shall keep My sabbaths, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that ye may know that I am the LORD who sanctify you.
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.
14Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore, for it is holy unto you; every one that profaneth it shall surely be put to death; for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
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.
15Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD; whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.
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.
16Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
16The Israelites must keep the Sabbath, celebrating it as a permanent covenant for the generations to come.
17It 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 ceased from work and rested.'
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.’”
18And He gave unto Moses, when He had made an end of speaking with him upon mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
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.
