| Chapter 31 |
1 |
And Yehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, |
2 |
`See, I have called by name Bezaleel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, |
3 |
and I fill him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all work, |
4 |
to devise devices to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, |
5 |
and in graving of stone for settings, and in graving of wood to work in all work. |
6 |
`And I, lo, I have given with him Aholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, and in the heart of every wise-hearted one I have given wisdom, and they have made all that which I have commanded thee. |
7 |
`The tent of meeting, and the ark of testimony, and the mercy-seat which is on it, and all the vessels of the tent, |
8 |
and the table and its vessels, and the pure candlestick and all its vessels, and the altar of the perfume, |
9 |
and the altar of the burnt-offering and all its vessels, and the laver and its base, |
10 |
and the coloured garments, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, for acting as priests in; |
11 |
and the anointing oil, and the perfume of the spices for the sanctuary; according to all that I have commanded thee -- they do.` |
12 |
And Yehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, |
13 |
`And thou, speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, Only, My sabbaths ye do keep, for it is a sign between Me and you, to your generations, to know that I, Yehovah, am sanctifying you; |
14 |
and ye have kept the sabbath, for it is holy to you, he who is polluting it is certainly put to death -- for any who doeth work in it -- that person hath even been cut off from the midst of his people. |
15 |
`Six days is work done, and in the seventh day is a sabbath of holy rest to Yehovah; any who doeth work in the sabbath-day is certainly put to death, |
16 |
and the sons of Israel have observed the sabbath; to keep the sabbath to their generations is a covenant age-during, |
17 |
between Me and the sons of Israel it is a sign -- to the age; for six days Yehovah made the heavens and the earth, and in the seventh day He hath ceased, and is refreshed.` |
18 |
And He giveth unto Moses, when He finisheth speaking with him in mount Sinai, two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written by the finger of God. |
