WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur 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.
3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, with wisdom and understanding, and knowledge in all manner of work.
3 I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship,
4 To devise whatsoever may be artificially made of gold, and silver, and brass,
4 to devise skillful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
5 Of marble, and precious stones, and variety of wood.
5 and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of workmanship.
6 And I have given him for his companion Ooliab the son of Achisamech of the tribe of Dan. And I have put wisdom in the heart of every skillful man, that they may make all things which I have commanded thee,
6 Behold, 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:
7 The tabernacle of the covenant, and the ark of the testimony, and the propitiatory that is over it, and all the vessels of the tabernacle,
7 the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the covenant, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent,
8 And the table and the vessels thereof, the most pure candlestick with the vessels thereof, and the altars of incense,
8 the table and its vessels, the pure lamp stand with all its vessels, the altar of incense,
9 And of holocaust, and all their vessels, the laver with its foot,
9 the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, the basin and its base,
10 The holy vestments in the ministry for Aaron the priest, and for his sons, that they may execute their office about the sacred things:
10 the finely worked garments—the holy garments for Aaron the priest, the garments of his sons to minister in the priest’s office—
11 The oil of unction, and the incense of spices in the sanctuary, all things which I have commanded thee, shall they make.
11 the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded you they shall do.”
12 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
12 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
13 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: See that thou keep my sabbath: because it is a sign between me and you in your generations: that you may know that I am the Lord, who sanctify 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.
14 Keep you my sabbath: for it is holy unto you: he that shall profane it, shall be put to death: he that shall do my work in it, his soul shall perish out of the midst of his people.
14 You 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.
15 Six days shall you do work: in the seventh day is the sabbath, the rest holy to the Lord. Every one that shall do any work on this day, shall die.
15 Six 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.
16 Let the children of Israel keep the sabbath, and celebrate it in their generations. It is an everlasting covenant
16 Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
17 Between me and the children of Israel, and a perpetual sign. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and in the seventh he ceased from work.
17 It 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.’”
18 And the Lord, when he had ended these words in mount Sinai, gave to Moses two stone tables of testimony, written with the finger of God.
18 When he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, he gave Moses the two tablets of the covenant, stone tablets, written with God’s finger.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Quotes verse 31:18 Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm VII)

    We read that the law was written with the finger of God, and given through Moses, His holy servant: by which finger of God many understand the Holy Ghost. Wherefore if, by the fingers of God, we are right in understanding these same ministers filled with the Holy Ghost, by reason of this same Spirit which worketh in them, since …

    He also was sent forth when the Tabernacle was in making, and filled with wisdom the wise-hearted men who were with Bezaleel.

  3. Quotes verse 31:3 Basil of Caesarea, On the Holy Spirit (Chapter XIX)

    "The Spirit of God," it is said "hath made me," and God filled Bezaleel with "the divine Spirit of wisdom and understanding and knowledge." Such names as these are super-eminent and mighty, but they do not transcend His glory.
