Exodus 39

1 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.

And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made plaited garments, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron, as the LORD commanded Moses.

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

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

3 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,

And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into threads, 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.

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

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

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

And the skilfully woven band, that was upon it, wherewith to gird it on, was of the same piece and like the work thereof: of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, as the LORD commanded Moses.

6 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:

And they wrought the onyx stones, inclosed in settings of gold, graven with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children of Israel.

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

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

8 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,

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.

9 Foursquare, double, of the measure of a span.

It was four-square; they made the breastplate double; a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being double.

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

And they set in it four rows of stones: a row of carnelian, topaz, and smaragd was the first row.

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

And the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and an emerald.

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

And the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst.

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

And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper; they were inclosed in fittings of gold in their settings.

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

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

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

And they made upon the breastplate plaited chains, of wreathen work of pure gold.

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

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

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

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

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

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 thereof.

19 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.

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

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

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

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

And they did bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a thread of blue, that it might be upon the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.

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

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

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

and the hole of the robe in the midst thereof, as the hole of a coat of mail, with a binding round about the hole of it, that it should not be rent.

24 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.

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

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

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:

26 And mitres with their little crowns of fine linen:

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

27 And linen breeches of fine linen:

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

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

and the mitre of fine linen, and the goodly head-tires of fine linen, and the linen breeches of fine twined linen,

29 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:

and the girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, the work of the weaver in colours; as the LORD commanded Moses.

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

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 THE LORD.

31 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.

And they tied unto it a thread of blue, to fasten it upon the mitre above; as the LORD commanded Moses.

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

Thus was finished all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting; and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

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

And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the Tent, and all its furniture, its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets;

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

and the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of sealskins, and the veil of the screen;

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

the ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the ark-cover;

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

the table, all the vessels thereof, and the showbread;

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

the pure candlestick, the lamps thereof, even the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for the light;

38 And the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle:

and the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the screen for the door of the Tent;

39 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:

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

40 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.

the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court, the cords thereof, and the pins thereof, and all the instruments of the service of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting;

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

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

42 The children of Israel offered as the Lord had commanded.

According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work.

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

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