會幕的工匠

31 耶和華對摩西說: 「看啊,在猶大支派中我已經親自選出戶珥的孫子、烏利的兒子比撒列, 用我的靈充滿他,使他有聰明智慧,精於各種技能和手藝, 懂得用金、銀和銅製造各式各樣精巧的器具, 又能雕刻和鑲嵌寶石,精通木工和各種手藝。 我委派但支派亞希撒抹的兒子亞何利亞伯做他的助手。至於其他能工巧匠,我已賜給他們智慧,好照我對你的吩咐製造一切器具, 即會幕、約櫃和約櫃上面的施恩座、會幕裡面所有的器具、 桌子和桌上的器具、純金的燈臺和燈臺的一切器具、香壇、 燔祭壇和壇上的一切器具、洗濯盆和盆座, 10 還有精工製作的禮服,即亞倫祭司的聖衣及其眾子供祭司之職時穿的禮服, 11 以及膏油和聖所使用的芬芳的香。他們要照我對你的吩咐去做。」

安息日

12 耶和華對摩西說: 13 「你要吩咐以色列百姓務必守我的安息日,因為這是我與你們之間世世代代的記號,叫你們知道使你們聖潔的是我耶和華。 14 你們要守安息日,以它為聖日。凡不守這誡命的,必被處死。凡在這天工作的,必從民中被剷除。 15 一週要工作六天,第七天是莊嚴的安息日,是耶和華的聖日。凡在安息日做工的,必被處死。 16 因此,以色列人世世代代都要守安息日,作為永久的約, 17 這是我和以色列人之間永久的記號。耶和華用六天的時間創造天地萬物,在第七天停工休息。」 18 耶和華在西奈山對摩西說完這些話以後,就把自己用指頭刻上誡命的兩塊石版交給摩西。

製造會幕器皿之技工(A)

31 耶和華對摩西說: “看哪,猶大支派中戶珥的孫子,烏利的兒子比撒列,我已經提名召他。 我也用 神的靈充滿了他,使他有智慧,有聰明,有知識,有能力作各樣的手工, 可以設計巧工,可以用金、銀、銅製造各物。 又可以雕刻寶石,鑲嵌寶石;可以雕刻木頭,製造各樣巧工。 看哪,我已經指派但支派中亞希撒抹的兒子亞何利亞伯和他同工;所有心裡有智慧的人,我也把智慧賜給他們,使他們可以作我吩咐你的一切工作, 就是會幕、法櫃和櫃上的施恩座,以及會幕中一切的器具、 桌子和桌子上的器具,純金的燈臺和燈臺上的一切器具、香壇、 燔祭壇和壇上的一切器具、洗濯盆和盆座、 10 彩衣和亞倫祭司的聖衣,以及他兒子們供祭司職分的衣服、 11 膏油和聖所使用的芬芳的香,他們都要照著我吩咐你的一切去作。”

謹守安息日(B)

12 耶和華對摩西說: 13 “你要吩咐以色列人說:你們務要守我的安息日,因為這是你我之間世世代代的記號,使你們知道我耶和華是把你們分別為聖的。 14 所以你們應該守安息日,因為這是你們的聖日;凡是違反這日的,必要把他處死;凡是在這日工作的,那人必要從他的族人中被剪除。 15 六日可以工作,但第七日是歇工的安息日,是歸耶和華為聖的,凡是在這安息日工作的,必須把那人處死。 16 所以,以色列人要守安息日,他們世世代代要遵行安息日的規例,作為永遠的約。 17 這是我和以色列人中間永遠的記號,因為六日之內耶和華創造了天地,但第七日就歇了工休息了。”

摩西領受兩塊法版(C)

18 耶和華在西奈山上與摩西說完了話,就把兩塊法版交給他,是 神用指頭寫的石版。

31 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:

And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,

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

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

And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of 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;

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,

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

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 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 thee shall they do.

12 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth sanctify you.

14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that defileth 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 may work be done; but in the seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord: whosoever doeth 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 for ever: for in six days the Lord 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, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

Artisans for Building the Tabernacle(A)

31 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: (B)“See, I have called by name Bezalel the (C)son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. And I have (D)filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, to design artistic works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of workmanship.

“And I, indeed I, have appointed with him (E)Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and I have put wisdom in the hearts of all the (F)gifted artisans, that they may make all that I have commanded you: (G)the tabernacle of meeting, (H)the ark of the Testimony and (I)the mercy seat that is on it, and all the furniture of the tabernacle— (J)the table and its utensils, (K)the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense, (L)the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and (M)the laver and its base— 10 (N)the [a]garments of ministry, the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to minister as priests, 11 (O)and the anointing oil and (P)sweet incense for the holy place. According to all that I have commanded you they shall do.”

The Sabbath Law

12 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 13 “Speak also to the children of Israel, saying: (Q)‘Surely My Sabbaths you shall keep, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord who (R)sanctifies[b] you. 14 (S)You shall keep the Sabbath, therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who [c]profanes it shall surely be put to death; for (T)whoever does any work on it, that person shall be cut off from among his people. 15 Work shall be done for (U)six days, but the (V)seventh is the Sabbath of rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death. 16 Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant. 17 It is (W)a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever; for (X)in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’ ”

18 And when He had made an end of speaking with him on Mount Sinai, He gave Moses (Y)two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God.
