Exodus 39

1 And of the blue and the purple, and the crimson, made they cloths of variegated stuff for ministering in the sanctuary, —and they made the holy garments which were for Aaron, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.

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.

2 So he made the ephod, —of gold, blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine twined linen,

So he made an ephod of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.

3 And they did beat out the plates of gold and he proceeded to cut them into threads, to work into the midst of the blue and into the midst of the purple and into the midst of the crimson, and into the midst of the fine linen, —with the work of a skilful weaver.

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,

4 Shoulder-pieces, made they thereto, for joining, —at its two edges, was it joined.

And two borders coupled one to the other in the top on either side,

5 And as for the curious fastening girdle which was thereon, of the same, it was according to the working thereof, gold blue, and purple, and crimson and fine twined linen, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.

And a girdle of the same colours, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

6 And they wrought the onyx stones, enclosed in ouches of gold, —graven with the engravings of a seal-ring, after the names of the sons of Israel.

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:

7 And he put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, as stones of memorial for the sons of Israel, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.

And he set them in the sides of the ephod for a memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

8 And he made the breastpiece the work of a skilful weaver like the work of the ephod, —of gold blue and purple and crimson, and fine twined linen.

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,

9 Foursquare, it was doubled, made they the breastpiece, —a span, was the length thereof, and, a span, the breadth thereof, doubled.

Foursquare, double, of the measure of a span.

10 And they set therein four rows of stones, —one row a sardius, a topaz and an emerald, the first row;

And he set four rows of precious stones in it. In the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and emerald.

11 and the second row, —a carbuncle a sapphire, and a diamond;

In the second, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a jasper.

12 and the third row, —an opal an agate and an amethyst;

In the third, a ligurius, an agate, and an amethyst.

13 and the fourth row, a Tarshish stone, a sardonyx, and a jasper, —enclosed in ouches of gold, when they were set

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

14 And as for the stones, after the names of the sons of Israel, they were twelve, after their names, —with the engravings of a seal-ring, each one, after his name, for the twelve tribes,

And the twelve stones were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, each one with its several name.

15 And they made, upon the breastpiece, chains like cords of wreathen work, —of pure gold.

They made also in the rational little chains linked one to another of the purest gold,

16 And they made two ouches of gold, and two rings of gold, —and they placed the two rings upon the two ends of the breastpiece;

And two hooks, and as many rings of gold. And they set the rings on either side of the rational,

17 and they placed the two wreathen chains of gold upon the two rings, -upon the ends of the breastpiece;

On which rings the two golden chains should hang, which they put into the hooks that stood out in the corners of the ephod.

18 and the other two ends of the two wreathen chains, placed they upon the two ouches, —and placed them upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod in the forefront thereof.

These both before and behind so answered one another, that the ephod and the rational were bound together,

19 And they made two rings of gold, and put on the two ends of the breastpiece, upon the border thereof, which is towards the ephod, inwards.

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.

20 And they made two other rings of gold, and placed them upon the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod below on the front of the face thereof, to match the joining thereof.—above the curious girdle of the ephod,

They made also the tunick of the ephod all of violet,

21 And they bound the breastpiece by the rings thereof into the rings of the ephod, with a cord of blue that it might remain upon the curious girdle of the ephod, and the breastpiece not be removed from upon the ephod, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.

And a hole for the head in the upper part at the middle, and a woven border round about the hole:

22 And he made the robe of the ephod, the work of a weaver, wholly of blue;

And beneath at the feet pomegranates of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen:

23 with the opening of the robe in the midst thereof, like the opening of a coat of mail, —a border to the opening thereof round about it might not be rent open.

And little bells of the purest gold, which they put between the pomegranates at the bottom of the tunick round about:

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

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.

25 And they made bells of pure gold, and placed the bells in the midst of the pomegranates upon the skirts of the robe, roundabout, in the midst of the pomegranates:

They made also fine linen tunicks 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 Yahweh commanded Moses.

And mitres with their little crowns of fine linen:

27 And they made the tunics of fine linen the work of a weaver, for Aaron and for his sons:

And linen breeches of fine linen:

28 and the turban of fine linen, and the ornamental caps of fine linen, —and the linen drawers, of fine twined linen:

And a girdle of fine twisted linen, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, of embroidery work, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

29 and the girdle of fine twined linen, and blue and purple and crimson the work of an embroiderer, —As Yahweh commanded Moses.

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:

30 And they made the burnished plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote thereupon a writing, with the engravings of a seal-ring Holy unto Yahweh.

And they fastened it to the mitre with a violet fillet, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

31 And they placed there, upon a cord of blue, to fasten it upon the turban up above, As Yahweh commanded Moses.

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.

32 Thus was finished all the work of the habitation of the tent of meeting, —thus did the sons of Israel, according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did they.

And they offered the tabernacle and the roof and the whole furniture, the rings, the boards, the bars, the pillars, and their sockets,

33 And they brought in the habitation unto Moses, the tent, and all its furniture, —its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars and its sockets;

The cover of rams’ skins 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 screening veil;

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

35 the ark of the testimony, with its staves, —and the propitiatory;

The table, with the vessels thereof, and the loaves of proposition:

36 the table all its utensils, and the Presence-bread;

The candlestick, the lamps, and the furniture of them with the oil:

37 the pure lampstand the lamps thereof the lamps to be put in order, and all the utensils thereof, —and the oil for giving light;

The altar of gold, and the ointment, and the incense of spices:

38 and the altar of gold, and the oil of anointing, and the fragrant incense, —and the screen for the opening of the tent;

And the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle:

39 the altar of bronze and the grating of bronze which pertaineth thereto, the staves thereof, and all the utensils thereof, —the laver, and its stand,

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:

40 the hangings of the court its pillars and its sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court, its cords and its pins, —and all the utensils for the service of the habitation for the tent of meeting;

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.

41 them cloths of variegated stuff, for ministering in the sanctuary, —the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons for ministering as priests.

The vestments also, which the priests, to wit, Aaron and his sons, used in the sanctuary,

42 According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did the sons of Israel make all the work.

The children of Israel offered as the Lord had commanded.

43 And Moses looked upon all the structure and lo! they had made it, as Yahweh had commanded, so, had they made it, —and Moses blessed them.

And when Moses saw all things finished, he blessed them.
