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.

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.
