Chapter 31

And the LORD spake¹⁷ unto Moses, saying,²

See,³ I have called¹ by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:

And I have filled¹⁷ him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,

To devise² cunning works, to work² in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

And in cutting of stones, to set¹⁵ [them], and in carving of timber, to work² in all manner of workmanship.

And I, behold, I have given¹ with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan: and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted I have put¹ wisdom, that they may make¹ all that I have commanded¹⁴ thee;

The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that [is] thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,

And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,

And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,

And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office,¹⁵

And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy [place]: according to all that I have commanded¹⁴ thee shall they do.⁴

And the LORD spake⁴ unto Moses, saying,²

Speak¹⁶ thou also unto the children of Israel, saying,² Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep:⁴ for it [is] a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that [ye] may know² that I [am] the LORD that doth sanctify¹⁸ you.

Ye shall keep¹ the sabbath therefore; for it [is] holy unto you: every one that defileth¹⁸ it shall surely² be put to death:⁹³ for whosoever doeth⁶ [any] work therein, that soul shall be cut off⁸ from among his people.

Six days may work be done;¹¹ but in the seventh ³¹¹⁷ [is] the sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD: whosoever doeth⁶ [any] work in the sabbath day, he shall surely² be put to death.⁹³

Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep¹ the sabbath, to observe² the sabbath throughout their generations, [for] a perpetual covenant.

It [is] a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for [in] six days the LORD made¹ heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested,¹ and was refreshed.¹¹

And he gave⁴ unto Moses, when he had made an end¹⁵ of communing¹⁵ with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written⁷ with the finger of God.
