| 2 `See, I have called by name Bezaleel, son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, | 2 "See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the 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, | 3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability and knowledge in all kinds of crafts-- |
| 4 to devise devices to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, | 4 to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, |
| 5 and in graving of stone for settings, and in graving of wood to work in all work. | 5 to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of craftsmanship. |
| 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. | 6 Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also I have given skill to all the craftsmen to make everything I have commanded you: |
| 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, | 7 the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony with the atonement cover on it, and all the other furnishings of the tent-- |
| 8 and the table and its vessels, and the pure candlestick and all its vessels, and the altar of the perfume, | 8 the table and its articles, the pure gold lampstand and all its accessories, the altar of incense, |
| 9 and the altar of the burnt-offering and all its vessels, and the laver and its base, | 9 the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, the basin with its stand-- |
| 10 and the coloured garments, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, for acting as priests in; | 10 and also the woven garments, both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests, |
| 11 and the anointing oil, and the perfume of the spices for the sanctuary; according to all that I have commanded thee -- they do.' | 11 and the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them just as I commanded you." |
| 12 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, | 12 Then the LORD said to Moses, |
| 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; | 13 "Say to the Israelites, 'You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy. |
| 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. | 14 " 'Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it must be put to death; whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from 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, | 15 For six days, work is to be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must be 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, | 16 The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. |
| 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.' | 17 It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he abstained from work and rested.' " |
| 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. | 18 When the LORD finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God. |
