Exodus 31:3-13

3 et implevi eum spiritu Dei sapientia intellegentia et scientia in omni opere

4 ad excogitandum fabre quicquid fieri potest ex auro et argento et aere

5 marmore et gemmis et diversitate lignorum

6 dedique ei socium Hooliab filium Achisamech de tribu Dan et in corde omnis eruditi posui sapientiam ut faciant cuncta quae praecepi tibi

7 tabernaculum foederis et arcam testimonii et propitiatorium quod super eam est et cuncta vasa tabernaculi

8 mensamque et vasa eius candelabrum purissimum cum vasis suis et altaria thymiamatis

9 et holocausti et omnia vasa eorum labium cum basi sua

10 vestes sanctas in ministerio Aaron sacerdoti et filiis eius ut fungantur officio suo in sacris

11 oleum unctionis et thymiama aromatum in sanctuario omnia quae praecepi tibi facient

12 et locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

13 loquere filiis Israhel et dices ad eos videte ut sabbatum meum custodiatis quia signum est inter me et vos in generationibus vestris ut sciatis quia ego Dominus qui sanctifico vos
