¹ Yahweh then spoke to Moses and said,

² 'Look, I have singled out Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,

³ and have filled him with the spirit of God in wisdom, knowledge and skill in every kind of craft:

⁴ in designing and carrying out work in gold and silver and bronze,

⁵ in cutting stones to be set, in wood carving and in executing every kind of work.

⁶ And to help him I have given him Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, and have endowed the hearts of all the skilled men with the skill to make everything I have ordered you:

⁷ the Tent of Meeting; the ark of the Testimony; the mercy-seat above it; and all the furniture of the tent;

⁸ the table and all its accessories; the pure lamp-stand and all its equipment; the altar of incense;

⁹ the altar of burnt offerings and all its accessories; the basin and its stand;

¹⁰ the liturgical vestments, the sacred vestments for Aaron the priest, and the vestments for his sons, for their priestly functions;

¹¹ the anointing oil and the fragrant incense for the sanctuary. They will do everything as I have ordered you.'

¹² Yahweh then said to Moses,

¹³ 'Speak to the Israelites and say, "You will keep my Sabbaths properly, for this is a sign between myself and you for all your generations to come, so that you will know that it is I, Yahweh, who sanctify you.

¹⁴ You will keep the Sabbath, then; you will regard it as holy. Anyone who profanes it will be put to death; anyone who does any work on that day will be outlawed from his people.

¹⁵ Work must be done for six days, but the seventh day will be a day of complete rest, consecrated to Yahweh. Anyone who works on the Sabbath day will be put to death.

¹⁶ The Israelites will keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath for all their generations to come: this is an eternal covenant.

¹⁷ Between myself and the Israelites, this is a sign for ever, for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day he rested and drew breath."

¹⁸ When he had finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.
