Exodus 31
Het Boek
De sabbatsrust ingesteld
31 1,2 De Here zei tegen Mozes: ‘Luister, Ik heb Besaleël, de zoon van Uri, de kleinzoon van Chur, uit de stam Juda, aangewezen 3 en hem vervuld met de Geest van God. Ik heb hem veel wijsheid, aanleg en vakmanschap gegeven voor de bouw van de tabernakel en alles wat zich daarin bevindt. 4 Hij is bedreven in het ontwerpen van voorwerpen in goud, zilver en koper. 5 Ook heeft hij ervaring als bewerker van edelstenen en hout. 6 Als zijn assistent heb Ik Oholiab aangewezen, de zoon van Achisamach uit de stam Dan. Bovendien heb ik alle specialisten wijsheid gegeven, zodat zij alles kunnen maken wat Ik u heb opgedragen, 7 de tabernakel, de Ark van het Verbond, het verzoendeksel en alles wat erbij hoort, 8 de tafel met alles wat erbij hoort, de gouden kandelaar en alles wat erbij hoort, het reukofferaltaar, 9 het brandofferaltaar en alles wat erbij hoort, het wasvat op het koperen voetstuk, 10 de ambtskleding die Aäron en zijn zonen als priesters zullen dragen, 11 de zalfolie en het aangename reukwerk voor het heiligdom. Alles wat Ik heb gezegd, zullen zij maken.’
12,13 De Here zei verder tegen Mozes: ‘Zeg het volk Israël dat het op de zevende dag moet rusten, want de sabbat is een herdenking van het eeuwige verbond tussen Mij en het volk. Zo zal het zich herinneren dat Ik de Here ben die hen heiligt. 14,15 Rust dus op de sabbat, want het is een heilige dag. Ieder die deze opdracht niet gehoorzaamt, moet sterven, ieder die op deze dag toch werkt, moet worden gedood. 16 Zes dagen moeten jullie werken, maar op de sabbat moet iedereen volkomen rust houden, want het is een heilige dag voor de Here. Deze wet is een eeuwigdurend verbond en een verplichting van geslacht op geslacht voor het volk Israël. 17 Het is een eeuwig gedenkteken van het verbond tussen Mij en het volk Israël. Want in zes dagen maakte de Here hemel en aarde en Hij rustte op de zevende dag om op adem te komen.’
18 Toen de Here was uitgesproken tegen Mozes op de berg Sinaï, gaf Hij hem de twee stenen plaquettes, waarop de vinger van God de Tien Geboden had geschreven.
Exodus 31
New King James Version
Artisans for Building the Tabernacle(A)
31 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 2 (B)“See, I have called by name Bezalel the (C)son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. 3 And I have (D)filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, 4 to design artistic works, to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, 5 in cutting jewels for setting, in carving wood, and to work in all manner of workmanship.
6 “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: 7 (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— 8 (J)the table and its utensils, (K)the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense, 9 (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.

Exodus 31
King James Version
31 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel 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 cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,
5 And in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship.
6 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;
7 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,
8 And the table and his furniture, and the pure candlestick with all his furniture, and the altar of incense,
9 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.
