2I have made selection of Bezalel, the son of Uri, by name, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
2Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Juda,
3And I have given him the spirit of God and made him wise and full of knowledge and expert in every sort of handwork,
3And I have filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and understanding, and knowledge in all manner of work,
4To do all sorts of delicate work in gold and silver and brass;
4To devise whatsoever may be artificially made of gold, and silver, and brass,
5In cutting stones for framing, and to do every form of woodwork.
5Of marble, and precious stones, and variety of wood.
6And I have made selection of Oholiab with him, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all who are wise I have put the knowledge to make whatever I have given you orders to have made;
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 skilful man, that they may make all things which I have commanded thee,
7The Tent of meeting, and the ark of the law, and the cover which is on it, and all the things for the tent,
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 with its vessels, and the holy light-support with all its vessels, and the altar for the burning of spices,
8And the table and the vessels thereof, the most pure candlestick with the vessels thereof, and the altars of incense,
9And the altar of burned offerings with all its vessels, and the washing-vessel with its base,
9And of holocaust, and all their vessels, the laver with its foot,
10And the robes of needlework, the holy robes for Aaron and for his sons, for their use when acting as priests,
10The holy vestments in the ministry for Aaron the priest, and for his sons, that they may execute their office, about the sacred things:
11And the holy oil, and the perfume of sweet spices for the holy place; they will do whatever I have given you orders to have done.
11The oil of unction, and the incense of spices in the sanctuary, all things which I have commanded thee, shall they make.
13Say to the children of Israel that they are to keep my Sabbaths; for the Sabbath day is a sign between me and you through all your generations; so that you may see that I am the Lord who makes you holy.
13Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: See that you 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.
14So you are to keep the Sabbath as a holy day; and anyone not honouring it will certainly be put to death: whoever does any work on that day will be cut off from his people.
14keep you my sabbath: for it is holy unto you: he that shall profane it, shall be put to death: he that shall do any work in it, his soul shall perish out of the midst of his people.
15Six days may work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death.
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.
16And the children of Israel are to keep the Sabbath holy, from generation to generation, by an eternal agreement.
16Let the children of Israel keep the sabbath, and celebrate it in their generations. It is an everlasting covenant
17It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever; because in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he took his rest and had pleasure in it.
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.
