< 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 the purple, and the scarlet, they made colored garments, to minister in the holy place; and they make the holy garments which [are] for Aaron, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
2 So he made an ephod of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.
And he makes the ephod, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and 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 expand the plates of gold, and have cut off wires to work in the midst of the blue, and in the midst of the purple, and in the midst of the scarlet, and in the midst of the linen—the work of a designer;
4 And two borders coupled one to the other in the top on either side,
they have made shoulder-pieces for it, joining; it is joined at its two ends.
5 And a girdle of the same colours, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
And the girdle of his ephod which [is] on it is of the same, according to its work, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, as YHWH has 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 prepare the shoham stones, set [with] filigrees of gold, engraved with engravings of a signet—the names of the sons of Israel on [them];
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 sets them on the shoulders of the ephod—stones of memorial for the sons of Israel, as YHWH has 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 makes the breastplate, the work of a designer, like the work of the ephod, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen;
9 Foursquare, double, of the measure of a span.
it has been square; they have made the breastplate double, a span its length, and a span its breadth, doubled.
10 And he set four rows of precious stones in it. In the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and emerald.
And they fill four rows of stones in it: a row of a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle [is] the first row;
11 In the second, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a jasper.
and the second row an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond;
12 In the third, a ligurius, an agate, and an amethyst.
and the third row an opal, 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—set [with] filigrees 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, according to the names of the sons of Israel, are twelve, according to their names, engravings of a signet, each 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 make wreathed chains on the breastplate, [the] work of thick bands 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 make two filigrees of gold, and two rings of gold, 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 thick bands of gold on the two rings on 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 they have put the two ends of the two thick bands on the two filigrees, and they put them on the shoulders of the ephod, toward the front of its face.
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 make two rings of gold, and set [them] on the two ends of the breastplate, on its border, which [is] on the side of the ephod within;
20 They made also the tunick of the ephod all of violet,
and they make two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulders of the ephod below, in front of its front, close by its joining, above the girdle 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 bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod, with a ribbon of blue, to be above the girdle of the ephod, and the breastplate is not loosed from off the ephod, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
22 And beneath at the feet pomegranates of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen:
And he makes the upper robe of the ephod, the work of a weaver, completely 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 opening of the upper robe [is] in its midst, as the opening of a [linen] habergeon, [with] a border for its opening all around; it is not torn;
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 make on the hems of the upper robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, twined.
25 They made also fine linen tunicks with woven work for Aaron and his sons:
And they make bells of pure gold, and put the bells in the midst of the pomegranates, on the hems of the upper robe, all around, in the midst of the pomegranates;
26 And mitres with their little crowns of fine linen:
a bell and a pomegranate [and] a bell and a pomegranate [are] on the hems of the upper robe all around, to minister in, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
27 And linen breeches of fine linen:
And they make the coats of linen, the work of a weaver, 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 turban of linen, and the beautiful caps of linen, and the linen trousers, of 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 twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, the work of an embroiderer, as YHWH has commanded Moses.
30 And they fastened it to the mitre with a violet fillet, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
And they make the flower of the holy crown of pure gold, and write a writing on it, engravings of a signet: “Holy to YHWH”;
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 put a ribbon of blue on it, to put [it] on the turban above, as YHWH has 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,
And all the service of the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting is completed; and the sons of Israel do according to all that YHWH has commanded Moses; so they have done.
33 The cover of rams’ skins dyed red, and the other cover of violet skins,
And they bring in the Dwelling Place to Moses, the tent, and all its vessels, its hooks, 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, which are made red, and the covering of tachashim skins, and the veil of the covering;
35 The table, with the vessels thereof, and the loaves of proposition:
the Ark of the Testimony and its poles, and the propitiatory covering;
36 The candlestick, the lamps, and the furniture of them with the oil:
the table, all its vessels, and the Bread of the Presentation;
37 The altar of gold, and the ointment, and the incense of spices:
the pure lampstand, its lamps, the lamps of arrangement, and all its vessels, 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 spice-incense, and the covering of the opening 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 bronze altar and the bronze grate which it has, its poles, 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 covering for the gate of the court, its cords, and its pins; and all the vessels of the service of the Dwelling Place, for the Tent of Meeting;
41 The vestments also, which the priests, to wit, Aaron and his sons, used in the sanctuary,
the colored clothes to minister in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to act as priest in.
42 The children of Israel offered as the Lord had commanded.
According to all that YHWH has commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel have done all the service;
43 And when Moses saw all things finished, he blessed them.
and Moses sees all the work, and behold, they have done it as YHWH has commanded; so they have done. And Moses blesses them.
