Exodus 31
English Standard Version
Oholiab and Bezalel
31 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “See, I have called by name (A)Bezalel the son of Uri, son of (B)Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 3 and I have (C)filled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with knowledge and all craftsmanship, 4 to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze, 5 in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, to work in every craft. 6 And behold, I have appointed with him (D)Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. And I have given to all able men (E)ability, that they may make all that I have commanded you: 7 (F)the tent of meeting, and (G)the ark of the testimony, and (H)the mercy seat that is on it, and all the furnishings of the tent, 8 (I)the table and its utensils, and (J)the pure lampstand with all its utensils, and (K)the altar of incense, 9 and (L)the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and (M)the basin and its stand, 10 and (N)the finely worked garments,[a] the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, for their service as priests, 11 and (O)the anointing oil and the fragrant (P)incense for the Holy Place. According to all that I have commanded you, they shall do.”
The Sabbath
12 And the Lord said to Moses, 13 “You are to speak to the people of Israel and say, ‘Above all you shall keep my Sabbaths, for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I, the Lord, sanctify you. 14 You shall keep the Sabbath, because it is holy for you. Everyone who profanes it shall be put to death. (Q)Whoever does any work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. 15 (R)Six days shall work be done, but (S)the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the Lord. (T)Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall be put to death. 16 Therefore the people of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath throughout their generations, as a covenant forever. 17 (U)It is a sign forever between me and the people of Israel that (V)in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and (W)on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.’”
18 And he gave to Moses, when he had finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, the (X)two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written with (Y)the finger of God.

Complete Jewish Bible
31 Adonai said to Moshe, 2 “I have singled out B’tzal’el the son of Uri the son of Hur, of the tribe of Y’hudah. 3 I have filled him with the Spirit of God — with wisdom, understanding and knowledge concerning every kind of artisanry. 4 He is a master of design in gold, silver, bronze, 5 cutting precious stones to be set, woodcarving and every other craft.
6 “I have also appointed as his assistant Oholi’av the son of Achisamakh, of the tribe of Dan. Moreover, I have endowed all the craftsmen with the wisdom to make everything I have ordered you — 7 the tent of meeting, the ark for the testimony, the ark-cover above it, all the furnishings of the tent, 8 the table and its utensils, the pure menorah and all its utensils, the incense altar, 9 the altar for burnt offerings and all its utensils, the basin and its base, 10 the garments for officiating, the holy garments for Aharon the cohen and the garments for his sons, so that they can serve in the office of cohen, 11 the anointing oil and the incense of aromatic spices for the Holy Place: they are to make everything just as I have ordered you.”
12 Adonai said to Moshe, 13 “Tell the people of Isra’el, ‘You are to observe my Shabbats; for this is a sign between me and you through all your generations; so that you will know that I am Adonai, who sets you apart for me. 14 Therefore you are to keep my Shabbat, because it is set apart for you. Everyone who treats it as ordinary must be put to death; for whoever does any work on it is to be cut off from his people. 15 On six days work will get done; but the seventh day is Shabbat, for complete rest, set apart for Adonai. Whoever does any work on the day of Shabbat must be put to death. 16 The people of Isra’el are to keep the Shabbat, to observe Shabbat through all their generations as a perpetual covenant. 17 It is a sign between me and the people of Isra’el forever; for in six days Adonai made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day he stopped working and rested.’”
(ii) 18 When he had finished speaking with Moshe on Mount Sinai, Adonai gave him the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.

14 “‘Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death;(Y) those who do any work on that day must be cut off from their people. 15 For six days work(Z) is to be done, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest,(AA) holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death. 16 The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath,(AB) celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. 17 It will be a sign(AC) between me and the Israelites forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.(AD)’”(AE)

Исход 31
New Russian Translation
Веселеил и Оголиав(A)
31 Господь сказал Моисею:
2 – Я избрал Веселеила, сына Ури, внука Хура, из рода Иуды, 3 и исполнил его Духом Божьим[a], мудростью, разумением, знанием и всяким мастерством. 4 Он может воплощать свои замыслы в золоте, серебре и бронзе, 5 может гранить и оправлять камни, резать по дереву и заниматься всяким ремеслом. 6 Еще Я дал Оголиава, сына Ахисамаха, из рода Дана, ему в помощники. Я наделил мастерством всех ремесленников, чтобы они сделали все, что Я повелел тебе: 7 шатер собрания, ковчег свидетельства с его крышкой и прочую утварь шатра 8 стол с его утварью и светильник из чистого золота со всей его утварью, жертвенник для сожжения благовоний, 9 жертвенник для всесожжений со всей его утварью, умывальник с его основанием, 10 тканые одеяния – священные одеяния для священника Аарона и его сыновей, чтобы они служили в них как священники, 11 масло для помазания и благовония для святилища. Пусть они сделают их в точности так, как Я повелел тебе.
Соблюдение субботы
12 Господь сказал Моисею:
13 – Скажи израильтянам: «Соблюдайте Мои субботы. Это будет знаком между Мной и вами в грядущих поколениях, чтобы вы знали, что Я – Господь, Который освящает вас.
14 Соблюдайте субботу: она свята для вас. Всякий, кто осквернит ее, будет предан смерти. Всякий, кто станет в этот день заниматься делами, будет исторгнут из своего народа. 15 Заниматься делами следует шесть дней, а седьмой день – это суббота покоя, святыня Господа. Всякий, кто станет в субботу заниматься делами, будет предан смерти. 16 Израильтяне должны соблюдать субботу, празднуя ее в грядущих поколениях, – это вечный завет. 17 Это останется знаком между Мной и израильтянами навеки. Ведь за шесть дней Господь создал небеса и землю, а на седьмой день отошел от трудов и дал Себе отдых».
18 Когда Господь закончил говорить с Моисеем на горе Синай, Он дал ему две каменные плитки свидетельства, на которых было написано перстом Божьим.
