1. And Jehovah[H3068] spake[H1696] unto Moses[H4872], saying[H559],
2. See[H7200], I have called[H7121] by name[H8034] Bezalel[H1212] the son[H1121] of Uri[H221], the son[H1121] of Hur[H2354], of the tribe[H4294] of Judah[H3063]:
3. and I have filled[H4390] him with the Spirit[H7307] of God[H430], in wisdom[H2451], and in understanding[H8394], and in knowledge[H1847], and in all manner of workmanship[H4399],
4. to devise[H2803] skilful works[H4284], to work[H6213] in gold[H2091], and in silver[H3701], and in brass[H5178],
5. and in cutting[H2799] of stones[H68] for setting[H4390], and in carving[H2799] of wood[H6086], to work[H6213] in all manner of workmanship[H4399].
6. And I[H5414], behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab[H171], the son[H1121] of Ahisamach[H294], of the tribe[H4294] of Dan[H1835]; and in the heart[H3820] of all that are[H2450] wise-hearted[H3820] I have put[H5414] wisdom[H2451], that they may make[H6213] all that I have commanded thee[H6680]:
7. the tent[H168] of meeting[H4150], and the ark[H727] of the testimony[H5715], and the mercy-seat[H3727] that is thereupon[H3627], and all the furniture of the Tent[H168],
8. and the table[H7979] and its vessels[H3627], and the pure[H2889] candlestick[H4501] with all its vessels[H3627], and the altar[H4196] of incense[H7004],
9. and the altar[H4196] of burnt-offering[H5930] with all its vessels[H3627], and the laver[H3595] and its base[H3653],
10. and the finely wrought[H8278] garments[H899], and the holy[H6944] garments[H899] for Aaron[H175] the priest[H3548], and the garments[H899] of his sons[H1121], to minister in the priest[H3547]'s office,
11. and the anointing[H4888] oil[H8081], and the incense[H7004] of sweet[H5561] spices for the holy[H6944] place[H6680]: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do[H6213].
12. And Jehovah[H3068] spake[H559] unto Moses[H4872], saying[H559],
13. Speak[H1696] thou also unto the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], saying[H559], Verily[H389] ye shall keep[H8104] my sabbaths[H7676]: for it is a sign[H226] between me and you throughout your generations[H1755]; that ye may know[H3045] that I am Jehovah[H3068] who sanctifieth you[H6942].
14. Ye shall keep[H8104] the sabbath[H7676] therefore[H6944]; for it is holy unto you[H2490]: every one that profaneth it shall surely[H4191] be put to death[H4191]; for whosoever doeth[H6213] any work[H4399] therein[H5315], that soul shall be cut off[H3772] from among[H7130] his people[H5971].
15. Six[H8337] days[H3117] shall work[H4399] be done[H6213]; but on the seventh[H7637] day is a sabbath[H7676] of solemn rest[H7677], holy[H6944] to Jehovah[H3068]; whosoever doeth[H6213] any work[H4399] on the sabbath[H7676] day[H3117], he shall surely[H4191] be put to death[H4191].
16. Wherefore the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] shall keep[H8104] the sabbath[H7676], to observe[H6213] the sabbath[H7676] throughout their generations[H1755], for a perpetual[H5769] covenant[H1285].
17. It is a sign[H226] between me and the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] for ever[H5769]: for in six[H8337] days[H3117] Jehovah[H3068] made[H6213] heaven[H8064] and earth[H776], and on the seventh[H7637] day[H3117] he rested[H7673], and was refreshed[H5314].
18. And he gave[H5414] unto Moses[H4872], when he had made an end[H3615] of communing[H1696] with him upon mount[H2022] Sinai[H5514], the two[H8147] tables[H3871] of the testimony[H5715], tables[H3871] of stone[H68], written[H3789] with the finger[H676] of God[H430].
