| Chapter 31 |
1 |
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, --
|
2 |
'Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: --
|
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 |
to devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, --
|
5 |
and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of workmanship. --
|
6 |
I, behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you: --
|
7 |
the tent of meeting, the ark of the testimony, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent, --
|
8 |
the table and its vessels, the pure lampstand with all its vessels, the altar of incense, --
|
9 |
the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, the basin and its base, --
|
10 |
the finely worked garments -- the holy garments for Aaron the priest -- the garments of his sons to minister in the priest's office, --
|
11 |
the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded you they shall do.' --
|
12 |
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, --
|
13 |
'Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, 'Most assuredly you shall keep my Sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that you may know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies you. --
|
14 |
You shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. --
|
15 |
Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to Yahweh. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death. --
|
16 |
Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. --
|
17 |
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.'' --
|
18 |
He gave to Moses, when he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, stone tablets, written with God's finger. --
