Exodus 39

1 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as Yhwh 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 wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with cunning work.

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 shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.

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

5 And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as Yhwh commanded Moses.

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

6 And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with 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 shoulders of the ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as Yhwh 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 of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, 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 foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.

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

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

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

12 And the third row, a ligure, 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 ouches of gold in their inclosings.

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 with his name, according to 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 chains at the ends, 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 ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in 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 in the two rings on 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 two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.

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 on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on 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 other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.

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

21 And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as Yhwh 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 there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of a garment, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.

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 hems 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 hem 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, round about the hem of the robe to minister in; as Yhwh commanded Moses.

and headdresses with their little crowns of fine linen,

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

and also linen undergarments of fine linen.

28 And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and 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 a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as Yhwh 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 to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO YHWH.

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 lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as Yhwh 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 all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that Yhwh 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 his furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his 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 badgers’ skins, and the vail of the covering,

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

35 The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,

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

36 The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,

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

37 The pure lampstand, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for 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 hanging for the tabernacle door,

and the tent at the entrance of the tabernacle,

39 The brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,

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, his pillars, and his sockets, and the hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,

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 cloths of service to do service in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons’ garments, 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 Yhwh commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.

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

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

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