Bezalel and Oholiab

31 Then the Lord spoke to Moses. He said, “I have chosen Bezalel, the son of Uri. Uri is the son of Hur. Bezalel is from the tribe of Judah. I have filled him with the Spirit of God. I have filled Bezalel with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skill. He can make beautiful patterns in gold, silver and bronze. He can cut and set stones. He can work with wood. In fact, he can work in all kinds of crafts. I have also appointed Oholiab, the son of Ahisamak, to help him. Oholiab is from the tribe of Dan.

“I have given ability to all the skilled workers. They can make everything I have commanded you to make. Here is the complete list.

“the tent of meeting

the ark where the tablets of the covenant law are kept

the cover for the ark

the table for the holy bread and its things

the pure gold lampstand and everything used with it

the altar for burning incense

the altar for burnt offerings and all its tools

the large bowl with its stand

10 the sacred clothes for Aaron the priest and the clothes for his sons when they serve as priests

11 the anointing oil

and the sweet-smelling incense for the Holy Room

“The skilled workers must make them just as I commanded you.”

The Sabbath Day

12 Then the Lord spoke to Moses. 13 He said, “Tell the people of Israel, ‘You must always keep my Sabbath days. That will be the sign of the covenant I have made between me and you for all time to come. Then you will know that I am the Lord. I am the one who makes you holy.

14 “ ‘Keep the Sabbath day. It is holy to you. Those who misuse it must be put to death. Those who do any work on that day must be separated from their people. 15 Do your work in six days. But the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest. You must rest on it. It is set apart for the Lord. Those who work on the Sabbath day must be put to death. 16 The Israelites must keep the Sabbath day. They must celebrate it for all time to come. It will be a covenant that lasts forever. 17 It will be the sign of the covenant I have made between me and the Israelites forever. The Lord made the heavens and the earth in six days. But on the seventh day he did not work. He rested.’ ”

18 The Lord finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai. Then he gave him the two tablets of the covenant law. They were made out of stone. The words on them were written by the finger of God.

Llamamiento de Bezaleel y de Aholiab

(Ex. 35.30—36.1)

31 Habló Jehová a Moisés, diciendo: Mira, yo he llamado por nombre a Bezaleel hijo de Uri, hijo de Hur, de la tribu de Judá; y lo he llenado del Espíritu de Dios, en sabiduría y en inteligencia, en ciencia y en todo arte, para inventar diseños, para trabajar en oro, en plata y en bronce, y en artificio de piedras para engastarlas, y en artificio de madera; para trabajar en toda clase de labor. Y he aquí que yo he puesto con él a Aholiab hijo de Ahisamac, de la tribu de Dan; y he puesto sabiduría en el ánimo de todo sabio de corazón, para que hagan todo lo que te he mandado; el tabernáculo de reunión, el arca del testimonio, el propiciatorio que está sobre ella, y todos los utensilios del tabernáculo, la mesa y sus utensilios, el candelero limpio y todos sus utensilios, el altar del incienso, el altar del holocausto y todos sus utensilios, la fuente y su base, 10 los vestidos del servicio, las vestiduras santas para Aarón el sacerdote, las vestiduras de sus hijos para que ejerzan el sacerdocio, 11 el aceite de la unción, y el incienso aromático para el santuario; harán conforme a todo lo que te he mandado.

El día de reposo como señal

12 Habló además Jehová a Moisés, diciendo: 13 Tú hablarás a los hijos de Israel, diciendo: En verdad vosotros guardaréis mis días de reposo;[a] porque es señal entre mí y vosotros por vuestras generaciones, para que sepáis que yo soy Jehová que os santifico. 14 Así que guardaréis el día de reposo,[b] porque santo es a vosotros; el que lo profanare, de cierto morirá; porque cualquiera que hiciere obra alguna en él, aquella persona será cortada de en medio de su pueblo. 15 Seis días se trabajará, mas el día séptimo es día de reposo[c] consagrado a Jehová; cualquiera que trabaje en el día de reposo,[d] ciertamente morirá.(A) 16 Guardarán, pues, el día de reposo[e] los hijos de Israel, celebrándolo por sus generaciones por pacto perpetuo. 17 Señal es para siempre entre mí y los hijos de Israel; porque en seis días hizo Jehová los cielos y la tierra, y en el séptimo día cesó y reposó.

El becerro de oro

(Dt. 9.6-29)

18 Y dio a Moisés, cuando acabó de hablar con él en el monte de Sinaí, dos tablas del testimonio, tablas de piedra escritas con el dedo de Dios.

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.
