Exode 31

La Bible du Semeur



1 L’Eternel parla à Moïse en ces termes: 2 Vois, je désigne Betsaléel, fils d’Ouri, descendant de Hour, de la tribu de Juda, 3 et je l’ai rempli de l’Esprit de Dieu qui lui confère de l’habileté, de l’intelligence et de la compétence pour exécuter toutes sortes d’ouvrages, 4 pour concevoir des projets, pour travailler l’or, l’argent et le bronze, 5 pour tailler des pierres à enchâsser, pour sculpter le bois et pour réaliser toutes sortes d’ouvrages. 6 Je lui ai donné pour aide Oholiab, fils d’Ahisamak, de la tribu de Dan et, de plus, j’ai accordé un surcroît d’habileté à tous les artisans experts, afin qu’ils exécutent tout ce que je t’ai ordonné: 7 la tente de la Rencontre, le coffre de l’acte de l’alliance, le propitiatoire qui doit lui servir de couvercle, et tous les objets de la tente, 8 la table et ses ustensiles, le chandelier d’or pur et tous ses accessoires, l’autel des parfums, 9 l’autel des holocaustes et tous ses accessoires, la cuve et son socle, 10 les vêtements de cérémonie et les vêtements sacrés pour Aaron le prêtre, ainsi que ceux de ses fils, ceux qu’ils endosseront pour exercer les fonctions du sacerdoce, 11 l’huile d’onction et le parfum aromatique pour le sanctuaire. Les artisans se conformeront à tous les ordres que je t’ai donnés. 



12 L’Eternel parla à Moïse en ces termes[1]: (Gn 2:1; Ex 20:8; Ex 23:12; Ex 34:21; Ex 35:2; Lv 23:3; Dt 5:13) 13 Et toi, dis ceci aux Israélites: « Surtout, observez bien mes sabbats; car c’est là un signe entre moi et vous, de génération en génération, le signe que moi, l’Eternel, je vous rends saints. 14 Vous observerez donc le jour du repos, car il est saint pour vous. Celui qui le profanera devra mourir; car quiconque fera un travail quelconque ce jour-là, sera retranché de son peuple. 15 On travaillera six jours, et le septième jour sera un jour de repos consacré à l’Eternel. Quiconque fera un travail le jour du sabbat devra mourir. 16 Les Israélites observeront le jour du sabbat en le célébrant de génération en génération; c’est une alliance éternelle. 17 Il sera un signe à perpétuité entre moi et les Israélites, car en six jours l’Eternel a fait le ciel et la terre, et le septième jour il a cessé de travailler pour reprendre son souffle. » 



18 Quand il eut terminé de s’entretenir avec Moïse sur le mont Sinaï, l’Eternel lui remit les deux tablettes de l’acte de l’alliance; c’étaient des tablettes de pierre gravées par le doigt de Dieu.

Exode 31

English Standard Version



1 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “See, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, (Ex 17:10; Ex 17:12; Ex 24:14; Ex 35:30; Ex 36:1; 1Ch 2:20) 3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with ability and intelligence, with knowledge and all craftsmanship, (Ex 35:31; 1R 7:14) 4 to devise artistic designs, to work in gold, silver, and bronze, 5 in cutting stones for setting, and in carving wood, to work in every craft. 6 And behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan. And I have given to all able men ability, that they may make all that I have commanded you: (Ex 28:3; Ex 35:10; Ex 35:34; Ex 35:35; Ex 36:1) 7 the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy seat that is on it, and all the furnishings of the tent, (Ex 36:8; Ex 37:1; Ex 37:6) 8 the table and its utensils, and the pure lampstand with all its utensils, and the altar of incense, (Ex 37:10; Ex 37:17; Ex 37:25) 9 and the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin and its stand, (Ex 38:1; Ex 38:8) 10 and the finely worked garments,[1] the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, for their service as priests, (Ex 35:19; Ex 39:1; Ex 39:41) 11 and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense for the Holy Place. According to all that I have commanded you, they shall do.” (Ex 30:7; Ex 30:25; Ex 30:31; Ex 30:34; Ex 37:29) 



12 And the Lord said to Moses, 13 “You are to speak to the people of Israel and say, ‘Above all you shall keep my Sabbaths, for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I, the Lord, sanctify you. 14 You shall keep the Sabbath, because it is holy for you. Everyone who profanes it shall be put to death. Whoever does any work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his people. (Ex 35:2; Nb 15:32; Jr 17:27) 15 Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the Lord. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall be put to death. (Gn 2:2; Ex 16:23; Ex 20:9; Ex 20:10; Ex 31:14) 16 Therefore the people of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, observing the Sabbath throughout their generations, as a covenant forever. 17 It is a sign forever between me and the people of Israel that in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested and was refreshed.’” (Gn 1:31; Gn 2:2; Ex 31:13; He 4:4; He 4:10) 18 And he gave to Moses, when he had finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, the two tablets of the testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of God. (Ex 8:19; Ex 24:12; Ex 32:15; Dt 4:13; Dt 5:22; Dt 9:10; 2Co 3:3)
