31:1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
31:2 “See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,
31:3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts–
31:4 to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze,
31:5 to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship.
31:6 Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also I have given skill to all the craftsmen to make everything I have commanded you:
31:7 the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony with the atonement cover on it, and all the other furnishings of the tent–
31:8 the table and its articles, the pure gold lampstand and all its accessories, the altar of incense,
31:9 the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, the basin with its stand–
31:10 and also the woven garments, both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests,
31:11 and the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them just as I commanded you.”
31:12 Then the LORD said to Moses,
31:13 “Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy.
31:14 “‘Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it must be put to death; whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from his people.
31:15 For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be put to death.
31:16 The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant.
31:17 It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he abstained from work and rested.’”
31:18 When the LORD finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.
31:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
31:2 See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
31:3 And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom and with understanding and with knowledge and with all kinds of workmanship,
31:4 To fashion skillful designs, to work in gold and in silver and in bronze,
31:5 And in the cutting of stones for setting and in the carving of wood, to work in all kinds of workmanship.
31:6 And now, I Myself have appointed with him Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are wise in heart I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you:
31:7 The Tent of Meeting, and the Ark of the Testimony and the expiation cover that is on it, and all the utensils of the tent,
31:8 And the table and its utensils, and the pure lampstand with all its utensils, and the altar of incense,
31:9 And the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its base,
31:10 And the finely worked garments, both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons for them to serve as priests,
31:11 And the anointing oil, and the incense of fragrant spices for the sanctuary. According to all that I have commanded you, they shall do.
31:12 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
31:13 Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, You shall surely keep My Sabbaths; for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am Jehovah who sanctifies you.
31:14 Therefore you shall keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
31:15 Six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day there is a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to Jehovah; whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.
31:16 Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.
31:17 It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.
31:18 And when He had finished speaking with him upon Mount Sinai, He gave to Moses the two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.
