Exodus 39

1 Of the blue, purple, and scarlet, they made finely worked garments, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD 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 He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen.

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

3 They beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, in the purple, in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, the work of the skillful workman.

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 straps for it, joined together. At the two ends it was joined together.

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

5 The skillfully woven band that was on it, with which to fasten it on, was of the same piece, like its work; of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD 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 They worked the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold, engraved with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the sons 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 He put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel, as the LORD 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 He made the breastplate, the work of a skillful workman, like the work of the ephod; of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined 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 square. They made the breastplate double. Its length was a span, and its breadth a span, being double.

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

10 They set in it four rows of stones. A row of ruby, topaz, and beryl 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 turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;

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

12 and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, 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 enclosed in gold settings.

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

14 The stones were according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, everyone 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 They made on the breastplate chains like cords, of braided work of pure gold.

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

16 They made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and 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 They put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at 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 The other two ends of the two braided chains they put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod, in its front.

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 They made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, which was toward the 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 They made two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder straps of the ephod underneath, in its front, close by its coupling, above the skillfully woven band 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 They bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not come loose from the ephod, as the LORD 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 He made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.

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

23 The opening of the robe in its midst was like the opening of a coat of mail, with a binding around its opening, that it should not be torn.

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 They made on the skirts of the robe pomegranates of blue, purple, scarlet, and twined linen.

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

25 They made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates around the skirts of the robe, 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, around the skirts of the robe, to minister in, as the LORD commanded Moses.

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

27 They made the coats of fine 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 turban of fine linen, and the linen headbands of fine linen, and the linen breeches of fine twined linen,

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

29 and the sash of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, the work of the embroiderer, as the LORD commanded Moses.

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

30 They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote on it a writing, like the engravings 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 They tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten it on the turban above, as the LORD commanded Moses.

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

32 Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting was finished. The children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses; so they did.

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.
