| Chapter 31 |
1 |
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, --
|
2 |
See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, --
|
3 |
and have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in every work, --
|
4 |
to devise artistic work -- to work in gold, and in silver, and in copper, --
|
5 |
and in cutting of stones, for setting, and for carving of timber -- to work in all manner of work. --
|
6 |
And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of every one that is wise-hearted have I given wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee -- --
|
7 |
the tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy-seat that is thereupon, and all the utensils of the tent, --
|
8 |
and the table and its utensils, and the pure lamp-stand and all its utensils, and the altar of incense; --
|
9 |
and the altar of burnt-offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand; --
|
10 |
and the garments of service, both the holy garments of Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to serve as priests; --
|
11 |
and the anointing oil, and the incense of fragrant drugs for the sanctuary: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do. --
|
12 |
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, --
|
13 |
And thou, speak thou unto the children of Israel, saying, Surely my sabbaths shall ye keep; for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that ye may know that it is I, Jehovah, who do hallow you. --
|
14 |
Keep the sabbath, therefore; for it is holy unto you; every one that profaneth it shall certainly be put to death: yea, whoever doeth work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his peoples. --
|
15 |
Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, holy to Jehovah: whoever doeth work on the sabbath day shall certainly be put to death. --
|
16 |
And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations -- [it is] an everlasting covenant. --
|
17 |
It shall be a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever; for [in] six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed. --
|
18 |
And he gave to Moses, when he had ended speaking with him on mount Sinai, the two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God. --
