31

¹And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, ²“See, I’ve called by name Bezalel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. ³And I’ve filled him with the spirit of God in wisdom and in understanding and in knowledge and in every kind of work, ⁴to form conceptions to make in gold and in silver and in bronze ⁵and in cutting stone for setting and in cutting wood—for making things in every kind of work. ⁶And I: here, I’ve put Oholiab, son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, with him. And in the heart of every wise-hearted person I’ve put wisdom. And they’ll make everything that I’ve commanded you: ⁷the Tent of Meeting and the Ark of the Testimony and the atonement dais that is on it and all the equipment of the tent ⁸and the table and its equipment and the pure menorah and all its equipment and the incense altar ⁹and the burnt offering altar and all its equipment and the basin and its stand ¹⁰and the fabric clothes and the holy clothes for Aaron, the priest, and his sons’ clothes for functioning as priests ¹¹and the anointing oil and the incense of fragrances for the Holy. According to everything that I’ve commanded you, they shall do.”

¹²And YHWH said to Moses, saying, ¹³“And you, speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Just: you shall observe my Sabbaths, because it is a sign between me and you through your generations: to know that I, YHWH, make you holy. ¹⁴And you shall observe the Sabbath, because it is a holy thing to you. One who desecrates it shall be put to death. Because anyone who does work in it: that person will be cut off from among his people. ¹⁵Six days work shall be done, and in the seventh day is a Sabbath, a ceasing, a holy thing to YHWH. Anyone who does work in the Sabbath day shall be put to death. ^l6And the children of Israel shall observe the Sabbath, to make the Sabbath through their generations, an eternal covenant. ¹⁷Between me and the children of Israel it is a sign forever, because for six days YHWH made the skies and the earth, and in the seventh day He ceased and was refreshed.’”

¹⁸And when He finished speaking with him in Mount Sinai, He gave the two tablets of the Testimony to Moses, tablets of stone, written by the finger of God.^*
