Exodus 31

 

Exodus 31

 

1 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke unto Drawn (Moses), saying,

 

2 See, I have called by name In The Shadow of God (Bezaleel), the son of Fiery (Uri), the son of Cavern (Hur), of the tribe of Praised (Judah):

 

3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God (‘Elohiym), in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,

 

4 To devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

 

5 And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.

 

6 And look, I have given with him Father’s Tent (Aholiab), the son of My Brother Is Supported (Ahisamach), of the tribe of Judge (Dan): and in the hearts of all that are wise hearted, I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee;

 

7 The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the tabernacle,

 

8 And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,

 

9 And the altar of burnt offering with all his furniture, and the laver and his foot,

 

10 And the cloths of service, and the holy garments for Light Bringer (Aaron) the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office,

 

11 And the anointing oil, and sweet incense for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded you shall they do.

 

12 And I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke to Drawn (Moses), saying,

 

13 Speak you also unto the children of Israel, saying, “My sabbaths you shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that you may know that I am I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) that sanctifies you.

 

14 You shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defiles it shall surely be put to death: for whosoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

 

15 Six days may work be done, but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever does any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

 

16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

 

17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever: for in six days, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.

 

18 And He gave to Drawn (Moses), when He had made an end of communing with him upon Mount Thorny (Sinai), two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God (‘Elohiym).
