1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Urias the son of Or, of the tribe of Juda.
2“Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
3And I have filled him [with] a divine spirit of wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge, to invent in every work,
3I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship,
4and to frame works, to labour in gold, and silver, and brass, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet,
4to devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
5and works in stone, and for artificers' work in wood, to work at all works.
5and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of workmanship.
6And I have appointed him and Eliab the [son] of Achisamach of the tribe of Dan, and to every one understanding in heart I have given understanding; and they shall make all things as many as I have appointed thee,—
6Behold, I myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you:
7the tabernacle of witness, and the ark of the covenant, and the propitiatory that is upon it, and the furniture of the tabernacle,
7the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the covenant, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent,
8and the altars, and the table and all its furniture,
8the table and its vessels, the pure lamp stand with all its vessels, the altar of incense,
9and the pure candlestick and all its furniture, and the laver and its base,
9the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, the basin and its base,
10and Aaron's robes of ministry, and the robes of his sons to minister to me as priests,
10the finely worked garments—the holy garments for Aaron the priest, the garments of his sons to minister in the priest’s office—
11and the anointing oiland the compound incense of the sanctuary; according to all that I have commanded thee shall they make them.
11the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded you they shall do.”
12And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
12Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
13Do thou also charge the children of Israel, saying, Take heed and keep my sabbaths; [for] they are a sign with me and among you throughout your generations, that ye may know that I am the Lord that sanctifies you.
13“Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Most certainly you shall keep my Sabbaths; for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am Yahweh who sanctifies you.
14And ye shall keep the sabbaths, because this is holy to the Lord for you; he that profanes it shall surely be put to death: every one who shall do a work on it, that soul shall be destroyed from the midst of his people.
14You shall keep the Sabbath therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
15Six days thou shalt do works, but the seventh day is the sabbath, a holy restto the Lord; every one who shall do a work on the seventh day shall be put to death.
15Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to Yahweh. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.
16And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbaths, to observe them throughout their generations.
16Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17It is a perpetual covenant with me and the children of Israel, it is a perpetual sign with me; for in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and on the seventh day he ceased, and rested.
17It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.’”
18And he gave to Moses when he left off speaking to him in mount Sina the two tables of testimony, tables of stone written [upon] with the finger of God.
18When he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, he gave Moses the two tablets of the covenant, stone tablets, written with God’s finger.
1And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people combined against Aaron, and said to him, Arise and make us gods who shall go before us; for this Moses, the man who brought us forth out of the land of Egypt—we do not know what is become of him.
1When the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron, and said to him, “Come, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.”
2And Aaron says to them, Take off the golden ear-ringswhich are in the ears of your wivesand daughters, and bring them to me.
2Aaron said to them, “Take off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them to me.”
3And all the people took off the golden ear-rings that were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
3All the people took off the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron.
4And he received them at their hands, and formed them with a graving tool; and he made them a molten calf, and said, These [are] thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
4He received what they handed him, fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made it a molded calf. Then they said, “These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.”
5And Aaron having seen it built an altar before it, and Aaron made proclamation saying, To-morrow [is] a feast of the Lord.
5When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made a proclamation, and said, “Tomorrow shall be a feast to Yahweh.”
6And having risen early on the morrow, he offered whole burnt -offerings, and offered a peace-offering; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
6They rose up early on the next day, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play.
7And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Go quickly, descend hence, for thy peoplewhom thou broughtest out of the land of Egypthave transgressed;
7Yahweh spoke to Moses, “Go, get down; for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves!
8they have quickly gone out of the way which thou commandedst; they have made for themselves a calf, and worshipped it, and sacrificed to it, and said, These are thy gods, O Israel, who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
8They have turned away quickly out of the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molded calf, and have worshiped it, and have sacrificed to it, and said, ‘These are your gods, Israel, which brought you up out of the land of Egypt.’”
10And now let me alone, and I will be very angry with themand consume them, and I will make thee a great nation.
10Now therefore leave me alone, that my wrath may burn hot against them, and that I may consume them; and I will make of you a great nation.”
11And Moses prayed before the Lord God, and said, Wherefore, O Lord, art thou very angry with thy people, whom thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt with great strength, and with thy high arm?
11Moses begged Yahweh his God, and said, “Yahweh, why does your wrath burn hot against your people, that you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
12[Take heed] lest at any time the Egyptians speak, saying, With evil intent he brought them out to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from off the earth; cease from thy wrathful anger, and be merciful to the sin of thy people,
12Why should the Egyptians talk, saying, ‘He brought them out for evil, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the surface of the earth’? Turn from your fierce wrath, and turn away from this evil against your people.
13remembering Abraam and Isaacand Jacob thy servants, to whom thou hast sworn by thyself, and hast spoken to them, saying, I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of heaven for multitude, and all this land which thou spokest of to give to them, so that they shall possess it for ever.
13Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your offspring as the stars of the sky, and all this land that I have spoken of I will give to your offspring, and they shall inherit it forever.’”
14And the Lord was prevailed upon to preserve his people.
14So Yahweh turned away from the evil which he said he would do to his people.
15And Moses turnedand went down from the mountain, and the two tables of testimony were in his hands, tables of stone written on both their sides: they were written within and without.
15Moses turned, and went down from the mountain, with the two tablets of the covenant in his hand; tablets that were written on both their sides. They were written on one side and on the other.
16And the tables were the work of God, and the writing the writing of God written on the tables.
16The tablets were the work of God, and the writing was the writing of God, engraved on the tablets.
17And Joshua having heard the voice of the people crying, says to Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
17When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, “There is the noise of war in the camp.”
18And [Moses] says, It is not the voice of them that begin the battle, nor the voice of them that begin [the cry] of defeat, but the voice of them that begin [the banquet] of wine do I hear.
18He said, “It isn’t the voice of those who shout for victory. It is not the voice of those who cry for being overcome; but the noise of those who sing that I hear.”
19And when he drew nigh to the camp, he sees the calf and the dances; and Moses being very angry cast the two tables out of his hands, and broke them to pieces under the mountain.
19As soon as he came near to the camp, he saw the calf and the dancing. Then Moses’ anger grew hot, and he threw the tablets out of his hands, and broke them beneath the mountain.
20And having taken the calf which they made, he consumed it with fire, and ground it very small, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel to drink it.
20He took the calf which they had made, and burned it with fire, ground it to powder, and scattered it on the water, and made the children of Israel drink it.
21And Moses said to Aaron, What has this people done to thee, that thou hast brought upon them a great sin ?
21Moses said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, that you have brought a great sin on them?”
22And Aaron said to Moses, Be not angry, [my] lord, for thou knowest the impetuosity of this people.
22Aaron said, “Don’t let the anger of my lord grow hot. You know the people, that they are set on evil.
23For they say to me, Make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this man Moses, who brought us out of Egypt, we do not know what is become of him.
23For they said to me, ‘Make us gods, which shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we don’t know what has become of him.’
24And I said to them, If any one has golden ornaments, take them off; and they gave them me, and I cast them into the fire, and there came out this calf.
24I said to them, ‘Whoever has any gold, let them take it off.’ So they gave it to me; and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf.”
25And when Moses saw that the people was scattered,—for Aaron [had] scattered them [so as to be] a rejoicing to their enemies,—
25When Moses saw that the people were out of control, (for Aaron had let them lose control, causing derision among their enemies),
26then stood Moses at the gate of the camp, and said, Who is on the Lord's side? let him come to me. Then all the sons of Levi came to him.
26then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, “Whoever is on Yahweh’s side, come to me!” All the sons of Levi gathered themselves together to him.
27And he says to them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Put every one his sword on his thigh, and go through and return from gate to gate through the camp, and slay every one his brother, and every one his neighbour, and every one him that is nearest to him.
27He said to them, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘Every man put his sword on his thigh, and go back and forth from gate to gate throughout the camp, and every man kill his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.’”
28And the sons of Levi did as Moses spoke to them, and there fell of the people in that day to the [number of] three thousand men.
28The sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses. About three thousand men fell of the people that day.
29And Moses said to them, Ye have filled your hands this day to the Lord each one on his son or on his brother, so that blessing should be given to you .
29Moses said, “Consecrate yourselves today to Yahweh, for every man was against his son and against his brother, that he may give you a blessing today.”
30And it came to pass after the morrow [had begun], that Moses said to the people, Ye have sinned a great sin; and now I will go up to God, that I may make atonement for your sin.
30On the next day, Moses said to the people, “You have sinned a great sin. Now I will go up to Yahweh. Perhaps I shall make atonement for your sin.”
31And Moses returned to the Lord and said, I pray, O Lord, this people has sinned a great sin, and they have made for themselves golden gods .
31Moses returned to Yahweh, and said, “Oh, this people have sinned a great sin, and have made themselves gods of gold.
32And nowif thou wilt forgive their sin, forgive [it]; and if not, blot me out of thy book, which thou hast written.
32Yet now, if you will, forgive their sin—and if not, please blot me out of your book which you have written.”
33And the Lord said to Moses, If any one has sinned against me, I will blot them out of my book.
33Yahweh said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, I will blot him out of my book.
34And now go, descend, and lead this people into the place of which I spoke to thee: behold, my angel shall go before thy face; and in the day when I shall visit I will bring upon them their sin.
34Now go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, my angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, in the day when I punish, I will punish them for their sin.”
35And the Lord smote the people for the making of the calf, which Aaron made.
35Yahweh struck the people, because of what they did with the calf, which Aaron made.
