Exodus 16:32

16:32 Moses said, “This is what ¹  the Lord has commanded: ‘Fill an omer with it to be kept ²  for generations to come, ³  so that they may see ⁴  the food I fed you in the desert when I brought you out from the land of Egypt.’”

Exodus 35:35

35:35 He has filled them with skill ⁵  to do all kinds of work ⁶  as craftsmen, as designers, as embroiderers in blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and in fine linen, and as weavers. They are ⁷  craftsmen in all the work ⁸  and artistic designers. ⁹ 

¹ tn Heb “This is the thing that.”

² tn Heb “for keeping.”

³ tn Heb “according to your generations” (see Exod 12:14).

⁴ tn In this construction after the particle expressing purpose or result, the imperfect tense has the nuance of final imperfect, equal to a subjunctive in the classical languages.

⁵ tn The expression “wisdom of heart,” or “wisdom in heart,” means artistic skill. The decisions and plans they make are skilled. The expression forms a second accusative after the verb of filling.

⁶ tn The expression “all the work” means “all kinds of work.”

⁷ tn Here “They are” has been supplied.

⁸ tn Heb “doers of all work.”

⁹ tn Heb “designers of designs.”
