出エジプト記 31

1GOD spoke to Moses:

2See, I have singled out by name Bezalel son of Uri son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

3I have endowed him with a divine spirit of skill, ability, and knowledge in every kind of craft;

4to make designs for work in gold, silver, and copper,

5to cut stones for setting and to carve wood—to work in every kind of craft.

6Moreover, I have assigned to him Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have also granted skill to all who are skillful, that they may make everything that I have commanded you:

7the Tent of Meeting, the Ark for the Pact and the cover upon it, and all the furnishings of the Tent;

8the table and its utensils, the pure lampstand and all its fittings, and the altar of incense;

9the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand;

10the service vestments—the sacral vestments of Aaron the priest and the vestments of his sons—for their service as priests;

11as well as the anointing oil and the aromatic incense for the sanctuary. Just as I have commanded you, they shall do.

12And GOD said to Moses:

13Speak to the Israelite people and say: Nevertheless, you must keep My sabbaths, for this is a sign between Me and you throughout the ages, that you may know that I GOD have consecrated you.

14You shall keep the sabbath, for it is holy for you. One who profanes it shall be put to death: whoever does work on it, that person shall be cut off from among kin.

15Six days may work be done, but on the seventh day there shall be a sabbath of complete rest, holy to GOD; whoever does work on the sabbath day shall be put to death.

16The Israelite people shall keep the sabbath, observing the sabbath throughout the ages as a covenant for all time:

17it shall be a sign for all time between Me and the people of Israel. For in six days GOD made heaven and earth, [before] ceasing from work and being refreshed on the seventh day.

18Upon finishing speaking with him on Mount Sinai, [God] gave Moses the two tablets of the Pact, stone tablets inscribed with the finger of God.
