Exodus 39

1 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.

And from the needlework of blue and purple and red they made the robes used for the work of the holy place, and the holy robes for Aaron, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

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

The ephod he made of gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen;

3 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.

Hammering the gold into thin plates and cutting it into wires to be worked into the blue and the purple and the red and the linen by the designer.

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

And they made two bands for joining its edges together at the top of the arms.

5 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.

And the beautifully worked band which went on it was of the same design and the same material, worked in gold and blue and purple and red and twisted linen-work, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

6 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.

Then they made the beryl stones, fixed in twisted frames of gold and cut like the cutting of a stamp, with the names of the children of Israel.

7 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.

These he put on the ephod, over the arm-holes, to be stones of memory for the children of Israel, as the Lord had said to Moses.

8 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.

The priest's bag was designed like the ephod, of the best linen worked with gold and blue and purple and red.

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

It was square and folded in two, as long and as wide as the stretch of a man's hand;

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

And on it they put four lines of stones: in the first line was a carnelian, a chrysolite, and an emerald;

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

In the second, a ruby, a sapphire, and an onyx;

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

In the third, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

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

In the fourth, a topaz, a beryl, and a jasper; they were fixed in twisted frames of gold.

14 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.

There were twelve stones for the twelve tribes of Israel; on every one the name of one of the tribes of Israel was cut, like the cutting of a stamp.

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

And on the bag they put gold chains, twisted like cords.

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

And they made two gold frames and two gold rings, the rings being fixed to the ends of the priest's bag;

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

And they put the two twisted chains on the two rings at the ends of the priest's bag;

18 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.

And the other two ends of the chains were joined to the two frames and fixed to the front of the ephod over the arm-holes.

19 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.

And they made two rings of gold and put them on the two lower ends of the bag, on the inner side nearest to the ephod.

20 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.

And two other gold rings were put on the front of the ephod, over the arm-holes, at the join, and over the worked band.

21 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.

And the rings on the bag were fixed to the rings of the ephod by a blue cord, keeping it in place over the band, so that the bag might not get loose, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

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

The robe which went with the ephod was made all of blue;

23 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.

With a hole at the top in the middle, like the hole in the coat of a fighting-man, edged with a band to make it strong.

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

The skirts of the robe were worked all round with fruits in blue and purple and red made of twisted linen.

25 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;

And between the fruits all round the skirt they put gold bells, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

26 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.

All round the skirt of the robe were bells and fruits in turn.

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

The coats for Aaron and his sons they made of the best linen;

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

And the twisted head-dress for Aaron, and beautiful head-dresses of linen, and linen trousers,

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

And a linen band worked with a design of blue and purple and red, as the Lord had said to Moses.

30 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.

The plate for the holy crown was made of the best gold, and on it were cut these words, HOLY TO THE LORD.

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

It was fixed to the head-dress by a blue cord, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

32 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.

So all the work on the House of the Tent of meeting was done; as the Lord had given orders to Moses, so the children of Israel did it.

33 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,

Then they took the House to Moses, the tent with all the things for it; its hooks, its boards, its rods, its pillars, and its bases;

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

The outer cover of sheepskins coloured red, and the cover of leather, and the veil for the doorway;

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

The ark of the law, with its rods and its cover;

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

The table, with all its vessels and the holy bread;

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

The support for the lights, with the vessels for the lights to be put in their places on it, and all its vessels, and the oil for the lights;

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

And the gold altar, and the holy oil, and the sweet perfume for burning, and the curtain for the doorway of the tent;

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

And the brass altar, with its network of brass, and its rods and all its vessels, and the washing-vessel and its base;

40 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;

The hangings for the open space, with the pillars and their bases, and the curtain for the doorway, and the cords and nails, and all the instruments necessary for the work of the House of the Tent of meeting;

41 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.

The robes for use in the holy place, and the holy robes for Aaron and his sons when acting as priests.

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

The children of Israel did everything as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

43 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.

Then Moses, when he saw all their work and saw that they had done everything as the Lord had said, gave them his blessing.
