Exodus 39

1 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.

Truly, from hyacinth and purple, vermillion and fine linen, he made the vestments with which Aaron was clothed when he ministered in the holy places, just as the Lord instructed Moses.

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

And so he made an ephod of gold, hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen,

3 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.

wrought with embroidery. And he cut thin strips of gold and drew them into threads, so that they could be twisted into the weave of the first colors.

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

And he made two edges, coupled to one another at the top of both sides,

5 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.

and a wide belt from the same colors, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.

6 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.

He also prepared two onyx stones, set and enclosed in gold, and engraved with the skill of a jeweler, with the names of the sons of Israel.

7 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.

And he set them in the sides of the ephod, as a memorial to the sons of Israel, just as the Lord had instructed 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 also made a breastplate, wrought with embroidery, according to the work of the ephod, from gold, hyacinth, purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen:

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

with four equal sides, doubled, of the measure of the palm of a hand.

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

And he set four rows of gems in it. In the first row was a sardius stone, a topaz, an emerald;

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

in the second was a garnet, a sapphire, and a jasper;

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

in the third was a zircon, an agate, and an amethyst;

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

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

14 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.

And these twelve stones were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, each one with a single name.

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

They also made, in the breastplate, little chains linked to one another, from 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 the same number of gold rings. Moreover, they set the rings at both sides of the breastplate,

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

from which two golden chains would hang, which they connected with the hooks that projected from 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 thereof.

These were both in front and in back so that they met one another, and so that the ephod and the breastplate were woven together,

19 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.

being fastened to the wide belt and strongly coupled with rings, to which a hyacinth band was joined, lest they should shake loose and be moved away from one another, just as the Lord instructed Moses.

20 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.

They also made the tunic of the ephod entirely from hyacinth,

21 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.

with the head in the upper part at the middle, and a woven edge all around the head.

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

Then, at the feet below, they also made pomegranates from hyacinth, purple, vermillion, and fine twisted linen,

23 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.

and little bells from the purest gold, which they set between the pomegranates at the very bottom of the tunic all around.

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

So then, the high priest approached, adorned with gold bell and pomegranate, when he performed his ministry, just as the Lord had instructed 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 also made fine linen tunics 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 the LORD commanded Moses.

and headdresses 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 also linen undergarments of fine linen.

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

Truly, they also made a wide band of fine twisted linen, hyacinth, purple, as well as vermillion, twice-dyed, with skillful embroidery, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.

29 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.

They also made the plate of sacred veneration from the purest gold, and they wrote on it, with the skill of a jeweler: “Holy to 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 THE LORD.

And they fastened it to the headdress with a hyacinth band, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.

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

And so all the work of the tabernacle and of the covering of the testimony was completed. And the sons of Israel did all that the Lord had instructed Moses.

32 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.

And they offered the tabernacle, and the covering, and all of the articles: the rings, the panels, the bars, the columns and bases,

33 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;

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

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

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

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

the table, with its vessels and the bread of the presence,

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

the lampstand, the lamps, and their utensils with the oil,

37 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;

the altar of gold, and the ointment, and the incense of aromatics,

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

and the tent at the entrance 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 grating, the bars, and all of its vessels, the washtub with its base, the hangings of the atrium, and the columns with their bases,

40 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;

the hanging at the entrance of the atrium, and their little cords and pegs. Nothing was lacking of the articles that were commanded to be made for the ministry of the tabernacle and for the covering of the covenant.

41 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.

Likewise, the vestments, which the priests, namely, Aaron and his sons, make use of use in the Sanctuary,

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

the sons of Israel offered, just as the Lord had instructed.

43 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.

After this, when Moses saw that everything was completed, he blessed them.
