- 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.
