1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 2 See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah: 3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, 4 to devise skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, 5 and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of workmanship. 6 And I, behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all that are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee: 7 the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy-seat that is thereupon, and all the furniture of the Tent, 8 and the table and its vessels, and the pure candlestick with all its vessels, and the altar of incense, 9 and the altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and the laver and its base, 10 and the finely wrought garments, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office, 11 and the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.

12 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, 13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily ye shall keep my sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am Jehovah who sanctifieth you. 14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that profaneth it shall surely be put to death; for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 15 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, holy to Jehovah: whosoever doeth any work on 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 for ever: for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

1 O Senhor disse a Moisés:

2 "Eis que chamei por seu nome Beseleel, filho de Uri, filho de Hur, da tribo de Judá.

3 Eu o enchi do espírito divino para lhe dar sabedoria, inteligência e habilidade para toda sorte de obras:

4 invenções, trabalho de ouro, de prata, de bronze,

5 gravuras em pedras de engastes, trabalho em madeira e para executar toda sorte de obras.

6 Associei-lhe Ooliab, filho de Aquisamec, da tribo de Dã. E dou a sabedoria ao coração de todos os homens inteligentes, a fim de que executem tudo o que te ordenei;

7 a tenda de reunião, a arca da aliança, a tampa que a recobre e todos os móveis da tenda;

8 a mesa e todos os seus acessórios, o candelabro de ouro puro e todos os seus acessórios, o altar dos perfumes,

9 o altar dos holocaustos, e todos os seus utensílios, a bacia com seu pedestal;

10 as vestes litúrgicas, os ornamentos sagrados para o sacerdote Aarão, as vestes de seus filhos para as funções sacerdotais;

11 o óleo de unção e o incenso perfumado para o santuário. Eles se conformarão em tudo às ordens que te dei."

12 O Senhor disse a Moisés:

13 "Dize aos israelitas: observareis os meus sábados, porque este é um sinal perpétuo entre mim e vós, para que saibais que eu sou o Senhor, que vos santifico.

14 Guardareis o sábado, pois ele vos deve ser sagrado. Aquele que o violar será morto; quem fizer naquele dia uma obra qualquer será cortado do meio do seu povo.

15 Trabalhar-se-á durante seis dias, mas o sétimo dia será um dia de repouso completo consagrado ao Senhor. Se alguém trabalhar no dia de sábado será punido de morte.

16 Os israelitas guardarão o sábado, celebrando-o de idade em idade com um pacto perpétuo.

17 Este será um sinal perpétuo entre mim e os israelitas, porque o Senhor fez o céu e a terra em seis dias e no sétimo dia ele cessou de trabalhar e descansou."

18 Tendo o Senhor acabado de falar a Moisés sobre o monte Sinai, entregou-lhe as duas tábuas do testemunho, tábuas de pedra, escritas com o dedo de Deus.
