Exodus 39

1 From the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn they made specially woven garments for ministry in the sanctuary, as well as the holy garments for Aaron, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, they made the cloths of service, to do the service in the holy place; and they made the holy garments which were for Aaron, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

2 Bezalel made the ephod of finely spun linen embroidered with gold, and with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn.

And he made the ephod, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and twisted linen;

3 They hammered out thin sheets of gold and cut threads from them to interweave with the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen—the work of a skilled craftsman.

And they did heat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet yarn, and in the linen, with weaver's work.

4 They made shoulder pieces for the ephod, which were attached at two of its corners, so it could be fastened.

They made shoulder-pieces for it, joined on; on both its edges was it thus joined together.

5 And the skillfully woven waistband of the ephod was of one piece with the ephod, of the same workmanship—with gold, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and with finely spun linen, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

And the belt for girding it on, that was upon it, was of the same piece with itself, of the same make: of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and twisted linen; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

6 They mounted the onyx stones in gold filigree settings, engraved like a seal with the names of the sons of Israel.

And they wrought the onyx stones enclosed in casings of gold, engraved with the engraving of a signet, after the names of the children of Israel.

7 Then they fastened them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

And he put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, as stones of memorial to the children of Israel; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

8 He made the breastpiece with the same workmanship as the ephod, with gold, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and with finely spun linen.

And he made the breastplate with weaver's work, like the work of the ephod: of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, and twisted linen.

9 It was square when folded over double, a span long and a span wide.

It was foursquare, double did they make the breastplate: it was a span in length, and a span in breadth, double.

10 And they mounted on it four rows of gemstones: The first row had a ruby, a topaz, and an emerald;

And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row, a sardius, a topaz, and an emerald; this was the first row.

11 the second row had a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;

And the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond.

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

And the third row, an opal, a turquoise, and an amethyst.

13 and the fourth row had a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. These stones were mounted in gold filigree settings.

And the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper: they were fitted in golden casings when they were set in.

14 The twelve stones corresponded to the names of the sons of Israel. Each stone was engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.

And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, [engraved] with the engraving of a signet, every one according to his name, for the twelve tribes.

15 For the breastpiece they made braided chains like cords of pure gold.

And they made upon the breastplate chains with knots at the ends, of wreathed work, of pure gold.

16 They also made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings, and fastened the two rings to the two corners of the breastpiece.

And they made two casings of gold, and two golden rings; and they put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

17 Then they fastened the two gold chains to the two gold rings at the corners of the breastpiece,

And they put the two wreathed chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.

18 and they fastened the other ends of the two chains to the two filigree settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front.

And the two ends of the two wreathed chains they fastened on the two casings, and they put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, on the outside thereof.

19 They made two more gold rings and attached them to the other two corners of the breastpiece, on the inside edge next to the ephod.

And they made two golden rings, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its border, which was on the opposite side of the ephod, inward.

20 They made two additional gold rings and attached them to the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, on its front, near the seam just above its woven waistband.

And they made two more golden rings, and put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, toward its front part, close by its seam, above the girdle of the ephod.

21 Then they tied the rings of the breastpiece to the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue yarn, so that the breastpiece was above the waistband of the ephod and would not swing out from the ephod, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

And they fastened the breastplate by its rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might remain on the girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

22 They made the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth, the work of a weaver,

And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, altogether of blue woolen yarn.

23 with an opening in the center of the robe like that of a garment, with a collar around the opening so that it would not tear.

And there was an opening in the midst of the robe, as the opening of a habergeon, with a binding round about the opening, that it should not be rent.

24 They made pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and finely spun linen on the lower hem of the robe.

And they made upon the lower hem of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, twisted.

25 They also made bells of pure gold and attached them around the hem between the pomegranates,

And they made bells of pure gold; and they put the bells between the pomegranates upon the lower hem of the robe, round about, between the pomegranates;

26 alternating the bells and pomegranates around the lower hem of the robe to be worn for ministry, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the lower hem of the robe, to minister therein; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

27 For Aaron and his sons they made tunics of fine linen, the work of a weaver,

And they made the coats of linen, of woven work, for Aaron and for his sons,

28 as well as the turban of fine linen, the ornate headbands and undergarments of finely spun linen,

And the mitre of linen, and the goodly bonnets of linen, and linen breeches of twisted linen thread.

29 and the sash of finely spun linen, embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

And the girdle of twisted linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet yarn, the work of the embroiderer; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

30 They also made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and they engraved on it, like an inscription on a seal: HOLY TO THE LORD.

And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like the engrafting of a signet, Holy to the Lord.

31 Then they fastened to it a blue cord to mount it on the turban, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

And they put on it a lace of blue, to place it upon the mitre above; as the Lord had commanded Moses.

32 So all the work for the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, was completed. The Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Thus was finished all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation; and the children of Israel had made it in accordance with all that the Lord had commanded Moses, so had they made it.

33 Then they brought the tabernacle to Moses: the tent with all its furnishings, its clasps, its frames, its crossbars, and its posts and bases;

And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all its vessels, its hooks, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets,

34 the covering of ram skins dyed red, the covering of fine leather, and the veil of the covering;

And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the vail of the separation:

35 the ark of the Testimony with its poles and the mercy seat;

The ark of the testimony, and its staves, and the mercy-seat;

36 the table with all its utensils and the Bread of the Presence;

The table, and all its vessels, and the showbread;

37 the pure gold lampstand with its row of lamps and all its utensils, as well as the oil for the light;

The pure candlestick, with its lamps, the lamps to be set in order thereupon, and all its vessels, and the oil for the lighting,

38 the gold altar, the anointing oil, the fragrant incense, and the curtain for the entrance to the tent;

And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the incense of spices, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle;

39 the bronze altar with its bronze grating, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin with its stand;

The copper altar, and the grating of copper which belonged to it, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its foot;

40 the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases; the curtain for the gate of the courtyard, its ropes and tent pegs, and all the equipment for the service of the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting;

The hangings of the court, its pillars and its sockets, and the hanging for the court-gate, its cords, and its pins, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation;

41 and the woven garments for ministering in the sanctuary, both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests.

The cloths of service to do the service in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister therein.

42 The Israelites had done all the work just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

All, just as the Lord had commanded Moses, so had the children of Israel done all the work.

43 And Moses inspected all the work and saw that they had accomplished it just as the LORD had commanded. So Moses blessed them.

And Moses did look over all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the Lord had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
