[ edit] And þe Lord ſpak to Moyſes, ſeiynge, Loo! I haue clepid Beſeleel bi name, þe ſone of Hury, ſone of Hur, of þe lynage of Juda; and Y haue fulfillid hym wiþ þe ſpiryt of God, wiþ wiſdom, and vnderſtondyng, and kunnyng in al werk, to caſte what euer þing may be forgid of gold, and of ſiluer, and of braſſe, marble, and gemmes, and dyuerſte of trees.

And Y haue ȝeuen to hym a felaw, Ooliab, þe ſone of Achiſamech, of þe lynage of Dan; and in þe herte of eche tawȝt I haue putte wiſdomes, þat þei maken alle þingis þat I haue comaundide to þee; þe tabernacle of þe boond of pees, and þe arke of witneſſyng, and þe propiciatorye þat is vpon it, and alle þe veſſels of þe tabernacle; and þe meet bord, and þe veſſels of it, þe mooſt puyr candelſtik wiþ his veſſels, and þe auteers of þe maad enſence, and of þe albrent ſacrifice, and alle þe veſſels of hem; þe lauatorie wiþ his foot; þe holi cloþes in þe ſeruyis to Aaron þe preeſt, and to þe ſones of hym, þat þei vſen hyr office in ſacrid þingis; þe oyle of anoynting, and þe maad enſence of ſwete ſmellynge þingis in þe ſeyntuarye; alle þingis þat I haue comaundide to þee, þei ſhulen make.

And þe Lord ſpak to Moyſes, ſeiynge, Spek to þe ſones of Yrael, and þow ſhalt ſeie to hem, Lookeþ þat ȝe kepen myn holy day, for it is a tokne bitwix me and ȝow in ȝoure generaciouns; þat ȝe witen for Y a Lord, þat halowiþ ȝow. Kepiþ myn holi day, holi forſoþe it is to ȝow; who ſo poluteþ it, wiþ deþ dye he; who ſo doþ in it werk, ſhal periſhe þe lijf of hym fro þe myddil of his puple. Six dayes ȝe ſhulen do werk; in þe ſeuenþe day is holy day, þe holi reſte to þe Lord; eche þat doþ werk in þat day ſhal dye.

Þe ſones of Yrael kepe þei þe holy day, and halowe þei it in her generaciouns; a couenaunt it is euer durynge bitwix me and þe ſones of Yrael, and a perpetuel tokyn; ſix forſoþe dayes God made heuene and erþe, and in þe ſeuenþe day fro þe werk he ceſide. And þe Lord ȝaf to Moyſes fulfillid þes maner wordes, in þe mownt of Synay, two ſtonen tablis of witneſſyng, writun wiþ þe fyngre of God.
