Exodus 31Matthew 25.31-46Exodus 31
1
And the Lord said to Moses,
2
I have made selection of Bezalel, the son of Uri, by name, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
3
And I have given him the spirit of God and made him wise and full of knowledge and expert in every sort of handwork,
4
To do all sorts of delicate work in gold and silver and brass
5
In cutting stones for framing, and to do every form of woodwork.
6
And I have made selection of Oholiab with him, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan and in the hearts of all who are wise I have put the knowledge to make whatever I have given you orders to have made
7
The Tent of meeting, and the ark of the law, and the cover which is on it, and all the things for the tent,
8
And the table with its vessels, and the holy light-support with all its vessels, and the altar for the burning of spices,
9
And the altar of burned offerings with all its vessels, and the washing-vessel with its base,
10
And the robes of needlework, the holy robes for Aaron and for his sons, for their use when acting as priests,
11
And the holy oil, and the perfume of sweet spices for the holy place they will do whatever I have given you orders to have done.
12
And the Lord said to Moses,
13
Say to the children of Israel that they are to keep my Sabbaths for the Sabbath day is a sign between me and you through all your generations so that you may see that I am the Lord who makes you holy.
14
So you are to keep the Sabbath as a holy day and anyone not honouring it will certainly be put to death: whoever does any work on that day will be cut off from his people.
15
Six days may work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the Lord whoever does any work on the Sabbath day is to be put to death.
16
And the children of Israel are to keep the Sabbath holy, from generation to generation, by an eternal agreement.
17
It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever because in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he took his rest and had pleasure in it.
18
And when his talk with Moses on Mount Sinai was ended, he gave him the two stones of the law, two stones on which was the writing made by the finger of God.
Matthew 25
31-46
31
But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then will he be seated in his glory:
32
And before him all the nations will come together and they will be parted one from another, as the sheep are parted from the goats by the keeper.
33
And he will put the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left.
34
Then will the King say to those on his right, Come, you who have the blessing of my Father, into the kingdom made ready for you before the world was:
35
For I was in need of food, and you gave it to me: I was in need of drink, and you gave it to me: I was wandering, and you took me in
36
I had no clothing, and you gave it to me: when I was ill, or in prison, you came to me.
37
Then will the upright make answer to him, saying, Lord, when did we see you in need of food, and give it to you? or in need of drink, and give it to you?
38
And when did we see you wandering, and take you in? or without clothing, and give it to you?
39
And when did we see you ill, or in prison, and come to you?
40
And the King will make answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Because you did it to the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.
41
Then will he say to those on the left, Go from me, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire which is ready for the Evil One and his angels:
42
For I was in need of food, and you gave it not to me I was in need of drink, and you gave it not to me:
43
I was wandering, and you took me not in without clothing, and you gave me no clothing ill, and in prison, and you came not to me.
44
Then will they make answer, saying, Lord, when did we see you in need of food or drink, or wandering, or without clothing, or ill, or in prison, and did not take care of you?
45
Then will he make answer to them, saying, Truly I say to you, Because you did it not to the least of these, you did it not to me.
46
And these will go away into eternal punishment but the upright into eternal life.
