Exodus 31 (WEBP)

[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] 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 bronze,
[5] and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of workmanship.
[6] Behold, I myself 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 covenant, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent,
[8] the table and its vessels, the pure lamp stand 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] When he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, he gave Moses the two tablets of the covenant, stone tablets, written with God’s finger.

Exodus 31 (YLT)

[1] 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.
