Exodus 31 – NIV & CCBT

New International Version

Exodus 31:1-18

Bezalel and Oholiab

1Then the Lord said to Moses, 2“See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 3and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills— 4to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, 5to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts. 6Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also I have given ability to all the skilled workers to make everything I have commanded you: 7the tent of meeting, the ark of the covenant law with the atonement cover on it, and all the other furnishings of the tent— 8the table and its articles, the pure gold lampstand and all its accessories, the altar of incense, 9the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, the basin with its stand— 10and also the woven garments, both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests, 11and the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them just as I commanded you.”

The Sabbath

12Then the Lord said to Moses, 13“Say to the Israelites, ‘You must observe my Sabbaths. This will be a sign between me and you for the generations to come, so you may know that I am the Lord, who makes you holy.

14“ ‘Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you. Anyone who desecrates it is to be put to death; those who do any work on that day must be cut off from their people. 15For six days work is to be done, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death. 16The Israelites are to observe the Sabbath, celebrating it for the generations to come as a lasting covenant. 17It will be a sign 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.’ ”

18When the Lord finished speaking to Moses on Mount Sinai, he gave him the two tablets of the covenant law, the tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.

出埃及記 31:1-18

會幕的工匠

1耶和華對摩西說: 2「看啊,我已經親自在猶大支派中選出戶珥的孫子、烏利的兒子比撒列3用我的靈充滿他,使他有聰明智慧,精於各種技能和手藝, 4能用金、銀和銅製造精巧的器具, 5又能雕刻和鑲嵌寶石,精通木工和各種手藝。 6我委派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, 7即會幕、約櫃和約櫃上面的施恩座、會幕裡面所有的器具、 8桌子和桌上的器具、純金的燈臺和燈臺的一切器具、香壇、 9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。凡不守這日的,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,第七天是完全休息的安息日,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。因為耶和華用六天的時間創造天地,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
