| 1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying: |
|
| 2 See, I have called by name, Bezaleel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; |
|
| 3 and 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 skilful designs,–to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze; |
|
| 5 and in the cutting of stones for setting, and in the carving of wood,–to work in all manner of workmanship. |
|
| 6 I myself, therefore, lo! I have given with him–Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, and, in the heart of every one that is wise-hearted, have I put wisdom,–so shall they make all that I have commanded thee:– |
|
| 7 the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony; and the propitiatory which is thereupon,–and all the utensils of the tent; |
|
| 8 and the table, and its utensils, and the pure lampstand, and all its utensils,–and the incense altar; |
|
| 9 and the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, and all its utensils, and the laver, and its stand; |
|
| 10 and the cloths of variegated stuff, and the holy garments, for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, for ministering as priests; |
|
| 11 and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, for the holy place, according to all which I have commanded thee, shall they do. |

| 12 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying– |
|
| 13 Thou thyself, therefore, speak unto the sons of Israel, saying,–Surely, my sabbaths, shall ye keep,–for, a sign, it is betwixt me and you, to your generations, that ye may know that, I–Yahweh, do hallow you. |
|
| 14 Therefore shall ye keep the sabbath, for, holy, it is unto you,–he that profaneth it, shall be, surely put to death; verily, whosoever doeth, therein, any work, that soul shall be cut off, from the midst of its people: |
|
| 15 Six days, shall work be done, but, on the seventh day, is a holy sabbath-keeping of rest, unto Yahweh,–whosoever doeth work on the sabbath day, shall be, surely put to death. |
|
| 16 Therefore shall the sons of Israel keep the sabbath,–by making it a Day of Rest to your generations, as an age-abiding covenant: |
|
| 17 between me and the sons of Israel, a sign, it is, unto times age-abiding,–for, in six days, did Yahweh make the heavens and the earth, and, on the seventh day, he rested, and was refreshed. |
|
| 18 Then gave he unto Moses, as he finished speaking with him in Mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony,–tables of stone, written with the finger of God. |
