Exodus 39

1 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made finely wrought garments, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

And he made, of violet and purple, scarlet and fine linen, the vestments for Aaron to wear when he ministered in the holy places, as the Lord commanded Moses.

2 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

So he made an ephod of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.

3 And they beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, the work of the skilful workman.

With embroidered work: and he cut thin plates of gold, and drew them small into threads, that they might be twisted with the woof of the aforesaid colours,

4 They made shoulder-pieces for it, joined together. It was joined together at the two ends.

And two borders coupled one to the other in the top on either side,

5 And the skillfully woven band, that was upon it with which to gird it on, was of the same piece and like the work of it, of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

And a girdle of the same colours, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

6 And they wrought the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold, engraved with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the sons of Israel.

He prepared also two onyx stones, fast set and closed in gold, and graven by the art of a lapidary, with the names of the children of Israel:

7 And he put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the sons of Israel, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

And he set them in the sides of the ephod for a memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

8 And he made the breastplate, the work of the skilful workman, like the work of the ephod, of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

He made also a rational with embroidered work, according to the work of the ephod, of gold, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen,

9 It was foursquare. They made the breastplate double; a span was the length of it, and a span the breadth of it, being double.

Foursquare, double, of the measure of a span.

10 And they set four rows of stones in it. A row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle was the first row,

And he set four rows of precious stones in it. In the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and emerald.

11 and the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond,

In the second, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a jasper.

12 and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst,

In the third, a ligurius, an agate, and an amethyst.

13 and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were set in enclosures of gold in their settings.

In the fourth, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl, set and enclosed in gold by their rows.

14 And the stones were according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, each one according to his name, for the twelve tribes.

And the twelve stones were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, each one with its several name.

15 And they made upon the breastplate chains like cords, of wreathen work of pure gold.

They made also in the rational little chains linked one to another of the purest gold,

16 And they made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

And two hooks, and as many rings of gold. And they set the rings on either side of the rational,

17 And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.

On which rings the two golden chains should hang, which they put into the hooks that stood out in the corners of the ephod.

18 And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains they put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, in the forepart of it.

These both before and behind so answered one another, that the ephod and the rational were bound together,

19 And they made two rings of gold, and put them upon the two ends of the breastplate, upon the edge of it, which was toward the side of the ephod inward.

Being fastened to the girdle and strongly coupled with rings, which a violet fillet joined, lest they should flag loose, and be moved one from the other, as the Lord commanded Moses.

20 And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, in the forepart of it, close by the coupling of it, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.

They made also the tunick of the ephod all of violet,

21 And they bound the breastplate by the rings of it to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be upon the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

And a hole for the head in the upper part at the middle, and a woven border round about the hole:

22 And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.

And beneath at the feet pomegranates of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen:

23 And the hole of the robe in the midst of it, as the hole of a coat of mail, with a binding round about the hole of it, that it should not be torn.

And little bells of the purest gold, which they put between the pomegranates at the bottom of the tunick round about:

24 And they made upon the skirts of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, twined.

To wit, a bell of gold, and a pomegranate, wherewith the high priest went adorned, when he discharged his ministry, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

25 And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the skirts of the robe round about, between the pomegranates,

They made also fine linen tunicks with woven work for Aaron and his sons:

26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about, to minister in, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

And mitres with their little crowns of fine linen:

27 And they made the tunics of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,

And linen breeches of fine linen:

28 and the miter of fine linen, and the goodly head-coverings of fine linen, and the linen breeches of fine twined linen,

And a girdle of fine twisted linen, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, of embroidery work, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

29 and the sash of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, the work of the embroiderer, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

They made also the plate of sacred veneration of the purest gold, and they wrote on it with the engraving of a lapidary, The Holy of the Lord:

30 And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like the engravings of a signet, HOLY TO JEHOVAH.

And they fastened it to the mitre with a violet fillet, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

31 And they tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten it upon the miter above, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

So all the work of the tabernacle and of the roof of the testimony was finished: and the children of Israel did all things which the Lord had commanded Moses.

32 Thus was finished all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting. And the sons of Israel did according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so did they.

And they offered the tabernacle and the roof and the whole furniture, the rings, the boards, the bars, the pillars, and their sockets,

33 And they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent, and all its furniture: its clasps, its boards, it bars, and its pillars, and it sockets,

The cover of rams’ skins dyed red, and the other cover of violet skins,

34 and the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of certain skins, and the veil of the screen,

The veil, the ark, the bars, the propitiatory,

35 the ark of the testimony, and the staves of it, and the mercy-seat,

The table, with the vessels thereof, and the loaves of proposition:

36 the table, all the vessels of it, and the showbread,

The candlestick, the lamps, and the furniture of them with the oil:

37 the pure lampstand, the lamps of it, even the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels of it, and the oil for the light,

The altar of gold, and the ointment, and the incense of spices:

38 and the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the screen for the door of the tent,

And the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle:

39 the brazen altar, and its grating of brass, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base,

The altar of brass, the grate, the bars, and all the vessels thereof: the laver with the foot thereof: the hangings of the court, and the pillars with their sockets:

40 the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court, the cords of it, and the pegs of it, and all the instruments of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting,

The hanging in the entry of the court, and the little cords, and the pins thereof. Nothing was wanting of the vessels, that were commanded to be made for the ministry of the tabernacle, and for the roof of the covenant.

41 the finely wrought garments for ministering in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.

The vestments also, which the priests, to wit, Aaron and his sons, used in the sanctuary,

42 According to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did all the work.

The children of Israel offered as the Lord had commanded.

43 And Moses saw all the work, and, behold, they had done it, as Jehovah had commanded, even so they had done it. And Moses blessed them.

And when Moses saw all things finished, he blessed them.
