CPDV - Exodus - 31

31:1  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

31:2  “Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah,

31:3  and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge in every craft,

31:4  in order to design whatever must be fabricated from gold, and silver, and brass,

31:5  from marble, and precious stones, and various woods.

31:6  And I have given to him, as his associate, Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan. And I have placed wisdom in the heart of every artisan, so that they may make everything as I have instructed you:

31:7  the tabernacle of the covenant, and the ark of the testimony, and the propitiatory which is over it, and all the vessels of the tabernacle,

31:8  and the table and its vessels, the most pure lampstand with its vessels, and the altars of incense

31:9  and of holocaust and all their vessels, the washtub with its base,

31:10  the holy vestments for the ministry of Aaron the priest, and for his sons, so that they may execute their office of sacred rites,

31:11  the oil of unction, and the incense of aromatics in the Sanctuary. All the things that I have instructed you, they shall make.”

31:12  And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

31:13  “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: See that you keep my Sabbath. For it is a sign between me and you among your generations, so that you may know that I am the Lord, who sanctifies you.

31:14  Keep my Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Whoever will have polluted it, shall die a death. Whoever will have done any work in it, his soul shall perish from the midst of his people.

31:15  For six days you shall do work. On the seventh day, it is the Sabbath, a rest sanctified by the Lord. All who will have done work on this day shall die.

31:16  Let the sons of Israel keep the Sabbath, and let them celebrate it throughout their generations. It is an everlasting covenant

31:17  between me and the sons of Israel, and a perpetual sign. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and in the seventh he ceased from work.”

31:18  And the Lord, having completed speaking in this way on Mount Sinai, gave to Moses two stone tablets of testimony, written with the finger of God.
