1 Ja Herra puhui Moosekselle sanoen:

2 "Katso, minä olen nimeltään kutsunut Besalelin, Uurin pojan, Huurin pojanpojan, Juudan sukukunnasta;

3 ja minä olen täyttänyt hänet Jumalan hengellä, taidollisuudella, ymmärryksellä, tiedolla ja kaikkinaisella kätevyydellä

4 sommittelemaan taidokkaita teoksia ja valmistamaan niitä kullasta, hopeasta ja vaskesta,

5 hiomaan ja kiinnittämään kiviä ja veistämään puuta, tekemään kaikkinaisia töitä.

6 Ja katso, minä olen antanut hänelle apulaiseksi Oholiabin, Ahisamakin pojan, Daanin sukukunnasta, ja olen antanut kaikkien taidollisten sydämeen taidollisuuden tehdä kaikki, mitä minä olen sinun käskenyt teettää:

7 ilmestysmajan, lain arkin, armoistuimen sen päälle, kaiken majan kaluston,

8 pöydän kaluinensa, aitokultaisen seitsenhaaraisen lampun kaikkine kaluinensa, suitsutusalttarin,

9 polttouhrialttarin kaikkine kaluinensa, altaan jalustoineen,

10 virkapuvut ja pappi Aaronin muut pyhät vaatteet sekä hänen poikiensa pappispuvut,

11 voiteluöljyn ja hyvänhajuisen suitsukkeen pyhäkköä varten. He tehkööt kaiken niin, kuin minä olen sinulle käskyn antanut."

12 Ja Herra puhui Moosekselle sanoen:

13 "Puhu israelilaisille ja sano: Pitäkää minun sapattini, sillä se on merkkinä meidän välillämme, minun ja teidän, sukupolvesta sukupolveen, tietääksenne, että minä olen Herra, joka pyhitän teidät.

14 Siis pitäkää sapatti, sillä se on teille pyhä. Joka sen rikkoo, rangaistakoon kuolemalla; sillä kuka ikinä silloin työtä tekee, hävitettäköön kansastansa.

15 Kuusi päivää tehtäköön työtä, mutta seitsemäntenä päivänä on sapatti, levon päivä, Herralle pyhitetty. Kuka ikinä tekee työtä sapatinpäivänä, rangaistakoon kuolemalla.

16 Ja pitäkööt israelilaiset sapatin, niin että he viettävät sapattia sukupolvesta sukupolveen ikuisena liittona.

17 Se on oleva ikuinen merkki minun ja israelilaisten välillä; sillä kuutena päivänä Herra teki taivaan ja maan, mutta seitsemäntenä päivänä hän lepäsi ja hengähti."

18 Ja kun hän oli lakannut puhumasta Mooseksen kanssa Siinain vuorella, antoi hän hänelle kaksi laintaulua, kivitaulua, joitten kirjoitus oli Jumalan sormella kirjoitettu.

10353. Verses 12-18 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, And you, speak to the children of Israel, saying, Surely you shall keep My sabbaths; for it is a sign between Me and you [throughout] your generations, that you may know that I Jehovah am sanctifying you. And you shall keep the sabbath, for it is holy to you. He who profanes it must certainly die; for everyone who does work on that [day], that soul will be cut off from the midst of his people. Work shall be done for six days, and on the seventh day there is the sabbath of rest 1 , holy to Jehovah; whoever does any work on the sabbath day must certainly die. And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, observing the sabbath [throughout] their generations, the covenant of an age 2 . This is a sign between Me and the children of Israel into an age 3 ; for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He rested and recovered His breath. And He gave to Moses, when He had finished talking to him on Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the Testimony, the tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.

'And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying' means enlightenment and perception from the Lord through the Word. 'And you, speak to the children of Israel, saying' means information provided by means of the Word to those who belong to the Church. 'Surely you shall keep My sabbaths' means thought which is holy and goes on unceasingly regarding the union of Divinity itself to the Lord's Human. 'For it is a sign between Me and you' means that it is the chief means by which those who belong to the Church are recognized in heaven. '[Throughout your generations' means within every single thing of the Church. 'That you may know that I Jehovah am sanctifying you' means the Lord's Divine Human, which all things of heaven and the Church look to as their one and only Source.] 'And you shall keep the sabbath' means that the Lord's Divine Human is to be worshipped. 'For it is holy to you' means the Source of all the goodness and truth which compose the Church. 'He who profanes it' means being led by self and one's own loves, and not by the Lord. 'Must certainly die' means being separated from heaven, and spiritual death. 'Everyone who does work on that day' means those who turn away from heavenly loves to bodily and worldly loves. 'That soul will be cut off from the midst of his people' means that not heaven and the Church but hell resides with that person. 'Work shall be done for six days' means the state which comes before and is preparatory to the heavenly marriage. 'And on the seventh day there is the sabbath of rest' means the state of good that has been the end in view, thus the state when a person becomes an embodiment of the Church and enters heaven. 'Holy to Jehovah' means the Divine. 'Whoever does any work on the sabbath day must certainly die' means being led by self and by one's own loves, and not by the Lord, [and spiritual death is the result.] 'And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, observing the sabbath [throughout] their generations' means that the truly essential thing of the Church is the acknowledgement of the union of the Divine itself within the Lord's Human, and that this acknowledgement must be present in every single part of worship. 'The covenant of an age' means being joined to the Lord to eternity. 'This is a sign between Me and the children of Israel into an age' means that this is the means by which those who belong to the Church are distinguished from those who do not belong to the Church. 'For in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth' means the state of conflict and labour while the Church is being established. 'And on the seventh day He rested and recovered His breath' means the state of good when the Church has been established, or when a person has been regenerated. 'And He gave to Moses, when He had finished talking to him from Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the Testimony' means a joining of the Lord to a person by means of the Word. 'The tablets of stone, written with the finger of God' means the Divine Truth there, coming from the Lord Himself.
