1. ANᴅ our Lord spake to Moyses, saying:
2. Behold, I haue called by name. Beseleel the sonne of Vri the sonne of Hur of
the tribe of Iuda,
3. and I haue replenished him with the spirit of God, with wisdome, & vnderstanding,
and knowledge in al worke,
4. to deuise whatsoeuer may be artificially made of gold, and siluer, and brasse,
5. of marble, and precious stones, and diuersitie of wood.
6. And I haue geuen him for his felow Ooliab the sonne of Achisamech of the tribe of
Dan. And in the hart of euerie skilful man haue I put wisdome: that they may make al things
which I haue commanded thee,
7. the tabernacle of couenant, and the arke of testimonie, and the propitiatorie, that
is ouer it, and al the vessel of the tabernacle,
8. and the table and the vessel therof, the candlesticke most pure with the vessel
therof, and the Altares of incense,
9. and of holocauste, and al their vessel, the lauer with his foote,
10. the holie vestments in the ministerie for Aaron the priest, and for his sonnes, that
they may execute their office, about the sacred things:
11. the oile of vnction, and the incense of spices in the Sanctuarie, al thinges which I
haue commanded thee, shal they make.
12. And our Lord spake to Moyses, saying:
13. Speake to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: See that you keepe my
sabbath: because it is a signe betwen me and you in your generations: that you may know that I
am the Lord, which sanctifie you.
14. Keepe you my sabbath: for it is holie vnto you: he that shal pollute it, dying shal
die: he that shal doe worke in it, his soule shal perish out of the middes of his people.
15. Six dayes shal you doe worke: in the seuenth day is the sabbath, the holie rest to
the Lord. Euerie one that shal doe any worke in this day, shal die.
16. Let the children of Israel keepe the Sabbath, and celebrate it in their generations.
It is an euerlasting couenant
17. betwen me and the children of Israel, and a signe perpetual. for in six dayes the
Lord made heauen and earth, and in the seuenth he ceased from worke.
18. And our Lord, when he had ended such speaches in mount Sinai, gaue vnto Moyses two
stone tables of testimonie, written with the finger of God.
