1 Verder het die HERE met Moses gespreek en gesê:
2 Kyk, Ek het Bes leël die seun van Uri, die seun van Hur, van die stam van Juda, by sy naam geroep;
3 en Ek het hom vervul met die Gees van God, met wysheid en verstand en kennis en bekwaamheid vir allerhande werk,
4 om kunstige planne uit te dink, om dit uit te voer in goud en silwer en koper,
5 en deur snywerk in stene wat ingelê moet word, en deur houtsnywerk; om werksaam te wees in allerhande werk.
6 En kyk, Ek het hom Oholiab bygegee, die seun van Ah¡samag, van die stam van Dan. En in die hart van elkeen wat kunsvaardig is, het Ek wysheid gegee, dat hulle alles wat ek jou beveel het, kan maak:
7 die tent van samekoms en die ark van die Getuienis en die versoendeksel wat daarop moet wees, en alles wat behoort by die tent,
8 en die tafel met sy gereedskap en die suiwer kandelaar met al sy gereedskap en die reukaltaar;
9 ook die brandofferaltaar met al sy gereedskap en die waskom met sy voetstuk
10 en die kunstige klere en die heilige klere van die priester A„ron en die klere van sy seuns, om die priesteramp te bedien;
11 ook die salfolie en die reukwerk van speserye vir die heiligdom -- net soos Ek jou beveel het, moet hulle dit maak.
12 Verder het die HERE met Moses gespreek en gesê:
13 Spreek jy met die kinders van Israel en sê: Julle moet sekerlik my sabbatte onderhou, want dit is 'n teken tussen My en julle in julle geslagte, sodat die mense kan weet dat Ek die HERE is wat julle heilig.
14 Onderhou dan die sabbat, want dit moet vir julle heilig wees. Hy wat dit ontheilig, moet sekerlik gedood word; want elkeen wat daarop werk verrig, die siel moet uitgeroei word onder sy volksgenote uit.
15 Ses dae lank kan werk verrig word, maar op die sewende dag moet dit wees 'n dag van volkome rus, heilig aan die HERE. Elkeen wat op die sabbatdag werk doen, moet sekerlik gedood word.
16 En die kinders van Israel moet die sabbat onderhou deur die sabbat te vier in hulle geslagte as 'n ewige verbond.
17 Tussen My en die kinders van Israel is dit vir ewig 'n teken; want in ses dae het die HERE die hemel en die aarde gemaak, maar op die sewende dag het Hy gerus en Hom verkwik.
18 En Hy het aan Moses, toe Hy geëindig het om met hom te spreek op die berg Sinai, die twee tafels van die Getuienis gegee, tafels van klip, beskrywe met die vinger van God.
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
2 I have made selection of Bezalel, the son of Uri, by name, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
3 And I have given him the spirit of God and made him wise and full of knowledge and expert in every sort of handwork,
4 To do all sorts of delicate work in gold and silver and brass;
5 In cutting stones for framing, and to do every form of woodwork.
6 And I have made selection of Oholiab with him, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all who are wise I have put the knowledge to make whatever I have given you orders to have made;
7 The Tent of meeting, and the ark of the law, and the cover which is on it, and all the things for the tent,
8 And the table with its vessels, and the holy light-support with all its vessels, and the altar for the burning of spices,
9 And the altar of burned offerings with all its vessels, and the washing-vessel with its base,
10 And the robes of needlework, the holy robes for Aaron and for his sons, for their use when acting as priests,
11 And the holy oil, and the perfume of sweet spices for the holy place; they will do whatever I have given you orders to have done.
12 And the Lord said to Moses,
13 Say to the children of Israel that they are to keep my Sabbaths; for the Sabbath day is a sign between me and you through all your generations; so that you may see that I am the Lord who makes you holy.
14 So you are to keep the Sabbath as a holy day; and anyone not honouring it will certainly be put to death: whoever does any work on that day will be cut off from his people.
15 Six days may work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord; whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death.
16 And the children of Israel are to keep the Sabbath holy, from generation to generation, by an eternal agreement.
17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever; because in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he took his rest and had pleasure in it.
18 And when his talk with Moses on Mount Sinai was ended, he gave him the two stones of the law, two stones on which was the writing made by the finger of God.
