¹ And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

² Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda,

³ And I have filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and understanding, and knowledge in all manner of work.

⁴ To devise whatsoever may be artificially made of gold, and silver, and brass,

⁵ Of marble, and precious stones, and variety of wood.

⁶ And I have given him for his companion Ooliab the son of Achisamech of the tribe of Dan. And I have put wisdom in the heart of every skilful man, that they may make all things which I have commanded thee,

⁷ The tabernacle of the covenant, and the ark of the testimony, and the propitiatory that is over it, and all the vessels of the tabernacle,

⁸ And the table and the vessels thereof, the most pure candlestick with the vessels thereof, and the altars of incense,

⁹ And of holocaust, and all their vessels, the laver with its foot,

¹⁰ The holy vestments in the ministry for Aaron the priest, and for his sons, that they may execute their office about the sacred things:

¹¹ The oil of unction, and the incense of spices in the sanctuary, all things which I have commanded thee, shall they make.

¹² And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

¹³ Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: See that thou keep my sabbath: because it is a sign between me and you in your generations: that you may know that I am the Lord, who sanctify you.

¹⁴ Keep you my sabbath: for it is holy unto you: he that shall profane it, shall be put to death: he that shall do my work in it, his soul shall perish out of the midst of his people.

¹⁵ Six days shall you do work: in the seventh day is the sabbath, the rest holy to the Lord. Every one that shall do any work on this day, shall die.

¹⁶ Let the children of Israel keep the sabbath, and celebrate it in their generations. It is an everlasting covenant

¹⁷ Between me and the children of Israel, and a perpetual sign. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and in the seventh he ceased from work.

¹⁸ And the Lord, when he had ended these words in mount Sinai, gave to Moses two stone tables of testimony, written with the finger of God.

¹ Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

² "Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:

³ and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship,

⁴ to devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

⁵ and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of workmanship.

⁶ I, behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you:

⁷ the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the testimony, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent,

⁸ the table and its vessels, the pure lampstand with all its vessels, the altar of incense,

⁹ the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, the basin and its base,

¹⁰ the finely worked garments--the holy garments for Aaron the priest--the garments of his sons to minister in the priest's office,

¹¹ the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded you they shall do."

¹² Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

¹³ "Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, 'Most certainly you shall keep my Sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that you may know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies you.

¹⁴ You shall keep the Sabbath therefore; for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

¹⁵ Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to Yahweh. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.

¹⁶ Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

¹⁷ It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.'"

¹⁸ He gave to Moses, when he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, stone tablets, written with God's finger.
