1Then the LORD said to Moses,

2"See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,

2“Look, I have specifically chosen Bezalel son of Uri, grandson of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

3and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills--

5to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts.

5He is skilled in engraving and mounting gemstones and in carving wood. He is a master at every craft!

6Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also I have given ability to all the skilled workers to make everything I have commanded you:

6“And I have personally appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, to be his assistant. Moreover, I have given special skill to all the gifted craftsmen so they can make all the things I have commanded you to make:

7the tent of meeting, the ark of the covenant law with the atonement cover on it, and all the other furnishings of the tent--

7the Tabernacle; the Ark of the Covenant; the Ark’s cover—the place of atonement; all the furnishings of the Tabernacle;

8the table and its articles, the pure gold lampstand and all its accessories, the altar of incense,

10and also the woven garments, both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests,

10the beautifully stitched garments—the sacred garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments for his sons to wear as they minister as priests;

11and the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them just as I commanded you."

11the anointing oil; the fragrant incense for the Holy Place. The craftsmen must make everything as I have commanded you.” Instructions for the Sabbath

12Then the LORD said to Moses,

12The LORD then gave these instructions to Moses:

13"Say to the Israelites, 'You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy.

13“Tell the people of Israel: ‘Be careful to keep my Sabbath day, for the Sabbath is a sign of the covenant between me and you from generation to generation. It is given so you may know that I am the LORD, who makes you holy.

14"'Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death; those who do any work on that day must be cut off from their people.

14You must keep the Sabbath day, for it is a holy day for you. Anyone who desecrates it must be put to death; anyone who works on that day will be cut off from the community.

15For six days work is to be done, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death.

15You have six days each week for your ordinary work, but the seventh day must be a Sabbath day of complete rest, a holy day dedicated to the LORD. Anyone who works on the Sabbath must be put to death.

16The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant.

16The people of Israel must keep the Sabbath day by observing it from generation to generation. This is a covenant obligation for all time.

17It will be a sign between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.'"

17It is a permanent sign of my covenant with the people of Israel. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day he stopped working and was refreshed.’”

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

18When the LORD finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant, written by the finger of God.
