Exodus 31
31
1 AND THE Lord said to Moses,
2 See, I have called by name Bezalel 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 ability, in understanding and intelligence, and in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship,
4 To devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
5 And in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of craftsmanship.
6 And behold, I have appointed with him Aholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and to all who are wisehearted I have given wisdom and ability to 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 furnishings of the tent–
8 The table [of the showbread] and its utensils, the pure lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense,
9 The altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, the laver and its base–
10 The finely worked garments, the holy garments for Aaron the [high] priest and for his sons to minister as priests,
11 And the anointing oil and incense of sweet spices for the Holy Place. According to all that I have commanded you shall they do.
12 And the Lord said to Moses,
13 Say to the Israelites, Truly you shall keep My Sabbaths, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I, the Lord, sanctify you [set you apart for Myself].
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 work on the Sabbath shall be cut off from among his people.
15 Six days may work be done, but the seventh is the Sabbath of rest, sacred to the Lord; whoever does work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.
16 Wherefore the Israelites shall keep the Sabbath to observe it throughout their generations, a perpetual covenant.
17 It is a sign between Me and the Israelites forever; for in six days the Lord made the heavens and earth, and on the seventh day He ceased and was refreshed.
18 And He gave to Moses, when He had ceased communing with him on Mount Sinai, the two tables of the Testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

Exodus 31
31
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
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 wisdom and understanding, and knowledge in all manner of work.
4To devise whatsoever may be artificially made of gold, and silver, and brass,
5Of marble, and precious stones, and variety of wood.
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 skilful man, that they may make all things which I have commanded thee:
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:
8And the table and the vessels thereof, the most pure candlestick with the vessels thereof, and the altars of incense:
9And of holocaust, and all their vessels, the laver with its foot:
10The holy vestments in the ministry, for Aaron the priest, and for his sons, that they may execute their office about the sacred things:
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 spoke to Moses, saying:
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 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.
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.
16Let the children of Israel keep the sabbath, and celebrate it in their generations. It is an everlasting covenant
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.
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.
