Exodus 31

1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda,

3And I have filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and understanding, and knowledge in all manner of work.

4To devise whatsoever may be artificially made of gold, and silver, and brass,

5Of marble, and precious stones, and variety of wood.

6And I have given him for his companion Ooliab the son of Achisamech of the tribe of Dan. And I have put wisdom in the heart of every skillful man, that they may make all things which I have commanded thee,

7The tabernacle of the covenant, and the ark of the testimony, and the propitiatory that is over it, and all the vessels of the tabernacle,

8And the table and the vessels thereof, the most pure candlestick with the vessels thereof, and the altars of incense,

9And of holocaust, and all their vessels, the laver with its foot,

10The holy vestments in the ministry for Aaron the priest, and for his sons, that they may execute their office about the sacred things:

11The oil of unction, and the incense of spices in the sanctuary, all things which I have commanded thee, shall they make.

12And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

13Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: See that thou keep my sabbath: because it is a sign between me and you in your generations: that you may know that I am the Lord, who sanctify you.

14Keep you my sabbath: for it is holy unto you: he that shall profane it, shall be put to death: he that shall do my work in it, his soul shall perish out of the midst of his people.

15Six days shall you do work: in the seventh day is the sabbath, the rest holy to the Lord. Every one that shall do any work on this day, shall die.

16Let the children of Israel keep the sabbath, and celebrate it in their generations. It is an everlasting covenant

17Between me and the children of Israel, and a perpetual sign. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and in the seventh he ceased from work.

18And the Lord, when he had ended these words in mount Sinai, gave to Moses two stone tables of testimony, written with the finger of God.

1Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

2Ecce, vocavi ex nomine Beseleel filium Uri filii Hur de tribu Juda,

3et implevi spiritu Dei, sapientia, et intelligentia et scientia in omni opere,

4ad excogitandum quidquid fabrefieri potest ex auro, et argento, et ære,

5marmore, et gemmis, et diversitate lignorum.

6Dedique ei socium Ooliab filium Achisamech de tribu Dan. Et in corde omnis eruditi posui sapientiam: ut faciant cuncta quæ præcepi tibi,

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

8mensamque et vasa ejus, candelabrum purissimum cum vasis suis, et altaris thymiamatis,

9et holocausti, et omnia vasa eorum, labrum cum basi sua,

10vestes sanctas in ministerio Aaron sacerdoti, et filiis ejus, ut fungantur officio suo in sacris:

11oleum unctionis, et thymiama aromatum in sanctuario, omnia quæ præcepi tibi, facient.

12Et locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:

13Loquere filiis Israël, 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.

14Custodite sabbatum meum, sanctum est enim vobis: qui polluerit illud, morte morietur; qui fecerit in eo opus, peribit anima illius de medio populi sui.

15Sex diebus facietis opus: in die septimo sabbatum est, requies sancta Domino; omnis qui fecerit opus in hac die, morietur.

16Custodiant filii Israël sabbatum, et celebrent illud in generationibus suis. Pactum est sempiternum

17inter me et filios Israël, signumque perpetuum; sex enim diebus fecit Dominus cælum et terram, et in septimo ab opere cessavit.

18Deditque Dominus Moysi, completis hujuscemodi sermonibus in monte Sinai, duas tabulas testimonii lapideas, scriptas digito Dei.

1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

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

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

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

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

6And 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:

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

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

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

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

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

12And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

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.

14Keep 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.

15For 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.

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

17between 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.”

18And 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.
