The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

“Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.

I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship,

to devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,

and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of workmanship.

Behold, I myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you:

the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the covenant, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent,

the table and its vessels, the pure lamp stand with all its vessels, the altar of incense,

the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, the basin and its base,

the finely worked garments—the holy garments for Aaron the priest, the garments of his sons to minister in the priest’s office—

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

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

“Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Most certainly you shall keep my Sabbaths; for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.

You shall keep the Sabbath therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.

Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.’”

When he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, he gave Moses the two tablets of the covenant, stone tablets, written with God’s finger.

وَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلاً:

«أُنظُرْ! إِنِّي قد دَعَوتُ بَصْلائيلَ بنَ أُورِيَ بنِ حُورٍ، مِن سِبْطِ يَهوذا، بِٱسمِه

ومَلأْتُه مِن رُوحِ اللهِ مَهارةً وفَهْمًا وعِلمًا بِجَميعِ الصَّنائِع

لِٱخْتِراعِ نَماذِجَ لِعَمَلِ الذَّهَبِ والفِضَّةِ والنُّحاس

ولِنَقشِ الجَواهِرِ لِلتَّرْصيع، ولِنِجارةِ الخَشَب، حتَّى يَعمَلَ في كُلِّ صِناعة

وقَد جَعَلتُ معَه أَهْليآبَ بنَ أَحيساماك، مِن سِبْطِ دان. وفي قُلوبِ جَميعِ المَهَرَةِ قد جَعَلتُ مَهارةً لِيَصنَعوا كُلَّ ما أَمَرتُكَ بِه

خَيمَةَ المَوعِد وتابوتَ الشَّهادة والكَفَّارَةَ الَّتي علَيه وسائِرَ أَمتِعَةِ الخَيمة

والمائِدَةَ وآنِيَتَها والمَنارَةَ الطَّاهِرَةَ وجَميعَ آنِيَتِها ومَذبَحَ البَخور

ومَذبَحَ المُحرَقَةِ وجَميعَ آنِيَتِه والمِغسَلَ وقاعِدَتَه

وثِيابَ الخِدمةِ والثِّيابَ المُقَدَّسَةَ لِهارونَ الكاهِن وثِيابَ بَنيه لِيَكونوا لي كَهَنَة

وزَيتَ المِسحَةِ والبَخورَ العَطِرَ لِلقُدْس، على حَسَبِ ما أَمَرتُكَ بِه يَصنَعونَها»

وَكَلَّمَ الرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلاً:

«وأَنتَ فكَلِّمْ بَني إِسْرائيلَ وقُلْ لَهم: إِحفَظوا سُبوتي خاصَّةً، لِأَنَّها عَلامةٌ بَيني وبَينَكم مَدى أَجْيالِكم، لِيَعلَموا أَنِّي أَنا الرَّبُّ مُقَدِّسُكم

فٱحفَظوا السَّبْت، فإِنَّه مُقَدَّسٌ لَكم، مَن ٱستَباحَه يُقتَلْ قَتْلًا. كُلُّ مَن يَعمَلُ فيه عَمَلًا تُفصَلُ تِلكَ النَّفْسُ مِن وَسْطِ شَعْبها

في سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ تُصنَعُ الأَعْمال، وفي اليَومِ السَّابِعِ سَبْتُ راحةٍ مُقَدَّسٌ لِلرَّبّ. كُلُّ مَن عَمِلَ عَمَلًا في يَومِ السَّبتِ يُقتَلُ قَتْلًا

فلْيَحفَظْ بَنو إِسْرائيلَ السَّبْت، حافِظِينَ إِيَّاه مَدى أَجْيالِكم عَهْدًا أَبَدِيًّا

فهُو بَيني وبَينَ بَني إِسْرائيلَ عَلامةٌ أَبَدِيَّة، لِأَنَّه في سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ صَنَعَ الرَّبُّ السَّمَواتِ والأَرض، وفي اليَومِ السَّابِعِ ٱستَراحَ وتَنَفَّس

ولَمَّا ٱنتَهى اللهُ مِن مُخاطَبَةِ موسى على جَبَلِ سِيناء، سلَّمَه لَوحَيِ الشَّهادة، لَوحَينِ مِن حَجَر، مَكْتوبَينِ بِإِصبَعِ الله
