Exodus 31

New Living Translation NLT

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 “Look, I have specifically chosen Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

3 I have filled him with the Spirit of God, giving him great wisdom, ability, and expertise in all kinds of crafts.

4 He is a master craftsman, expert in working with gold, silver, and bronze.

5 He is skilled in engraving and mounting gemstones and in carving wood. He is a master at every craft!

6 “And I have personally appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to be his assistant. Moreover, I have given special skill to all the gifted craftsmen so they can make all the things I have commanded you to make:

7 the Tabernacle; the Ark of the Covenant; the Ark’s cover—the place of atonement; all the furnishings of the Tabernacle;

8 the table and its utensils; the pure gold lampstand with all its accessories; the incense altar;

9 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils; the washbasin with its stand;

10 the beautifully stitched garments—the sacred garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments for his sons to wear as they minister as priests;

11 the anointing oil; the fragrant incense for the Holy Place. The craftsmen must make everything as I have commanded you.”

12 The LORD then gave these instructions to Moses:

13 “Tell the people of Israel: ‘Be careful to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you from generation to generation. It is given so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy.

14 You must keep the Sabbath day, for it is a holy day for you. Anyone who desecrates it must be put to death; anyone who works on that day will be cut off from the community.

15 You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day must be a Sabbath day of complete rest, a holy day dedicated to the LORD . Anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death.

16 The people of Israel must keep the Sabbath day by observing it from generation to generation. This is a covenant obligation for all time.

17 It is a permanent sign of my covenant with the people of Israel. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day he stopped working and was refreshed.’”

18 When the LORD finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant, written by the finger of God.

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.
