Exodus 31

Common English Bible CEB

1 The LORD spoke to Moses:

2 Look, I have chosen Bezalel, Uri's son and Hur's grandson from the tribe of Judah.

3 I have filled him with the divine spirit, with skill, ability, and knowledge for every kind of work.

4 He will be able to create designs; do metalwork in gold, silver, and copper;

5 cut stones for setting; carve wood; and do every kind of work.

6 I have also appointed with him Oholiab, Ahisamach's son from the tribe of Dan. To all who are skillful, I have given the skill to make everything that I have commanded you:

7 the meeting tent, the chest containing the covenant, the cover that is on top of it, all the tent's furnishings,

8 the table and its equipment, the pure lampstand with all its equipment, the incense altar,

9 the altar for entirely burned offerings with all its equipment, the washbasin with its stand,

10 the woven clothing, the holy clothes for Aaron the priest and for his sons for their service as priests,

11 the anointing oil, and the sweet-smelling incense for the sanctuary. They will do just as I have commanded you.

12 The LORD said to Moses:

13 Tell the Israelites: "Be sure to keep my sabbaths, because the Sabbath is a sign between me and you in every generation so you will know that I am the LORD who makes you holy.

14 Keep the Sabbath, because it is holy for you. Everyone who violates the Sabbath will be put to death. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath, that person will be cut off from the people.

15 Do your work for six days. But the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest that is holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day will be put to death.

16 The Israelites should keep the Sabbath. They should observe the Sabbath in every generation as a covenant for all time.

17 It is a sign forever between me and the Israelites that in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day the LORD rested and was refreshed."

18 When God finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, God gave him the two covenant tablets, the stone tablets written by God's finger.

The Message Bible MSG

1 God spoke to Moses:

2 "See what I've done; I've personally chosen Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur of the tribe of Judah.

3 I've filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him skill and know-how and expertise in every kind of craft

4 to create designs and work in gold, silver, and bronze;

5 to cut and set gemstones; to carve wood - he's an all-around craftsman.

6 "Not only that, but I've given him Oholiab, son of Ahisamach of the tribe of Dan, to work with him. And to all who have an aptitude for crafts I've given the skills to make all the things I've commanded you:

7 the Tent of Meeting, the Chest of The Testimony and its Atonement-Cover, all the implements for the Tent,

8 the Table and its implements, the pure Lampstand and all its implements, the Altar of Incense,

9 the Altar of Whole-Burnt-Offering and all its implements, the Washbasin and its base,

10 the official vestments, the holy vestments for Aaron the priest and his sons in their priestly duties,

11 the anointing oil, and the aromatic incense for the Holy Place - they'll make everything just the way I've commanded you." Sabbath

12 God spoke to Moses:

13 "Tell the Israelites, 'Above all, keep my Sabbaths, the sign between me and you, generation after generation, to keep the knowledge alive that I am the God who makes you holy.

14 Keep the Sabbath; it's holy to you. Whoever profanes it will most certainly be put to death. Whoever works on it will be excommunicated from the people.

15 There are six days for work but the seventh day is Sabbath, pure rest, holy to God. Anyone who works on the Sabbath will most certainly be put to death.

16 The Israelites will keep the Sabbath, observe Sabbath-keeping down through the generations, as a standing covenant.

17 It's a fixed sign between me and the Israelites. Yes, because in six days God made the Heavens and the Earth and on the seventh day he stopped and took a long, deep breath.'"

18 When he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, he gave Moses two tablets of Testimony, slabs of stone, written with the finger of God.
