| Chapter 31 |
1 | And Jehovah 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 Jehovah 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, Jehovah, 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 Jehovah; 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 Jehovah 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.
