Exodus 39

1 With the blue, purple, and scarlet wool, they made finely-woven garments for service in the holy place. They made Aaron's garments for the holy place, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

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.

2 Bezalel made the ephod of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet wool, and of fine twined linen.

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

3 They hammered gold sheets and cut them into wires, to work them into the blue, purple, and scarlet wool, and into the fine linen, the work of a skillful workman.

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.

4 They made shoulder pieces for the ephod, attached at its two upper corners.

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

5 Its finely-woven waistband was like the ephod; it was made of one piece with the ephod, made of fine twined linen that was gold, blue, purple, and scarlet, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

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.

6 They crafted the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold, set with engravings as on a signet, and engraved with the names of Israel's twelve sons.

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.

7 Bezalel put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, as stones to remind Yahweh of Israel's twelve sons, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

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.

8 He made the breastpiece, the work of a skillful workman, fashioned like the ephod. He made it of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet wool, and of fine linen.

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.

9 It was square. They folded the breastpiece double. It was one span long and one span wide.

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

10 They set in it four rows of precious stones. The first row had a ruby, a topaz, and a garnet.

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

11 The second row had an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.

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

12 The third row had a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst.

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

13 The fourth row had a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. The stones were mounted in gold settings.

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

14 The stones were arranged by the names of Israel's twelve sons, each in order by name. They were like the engraving on a signet ring, each name standing for one of the twelve tribes.

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.

15 On the breastpiece they made chains like cords, braided work of pure gold.

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

16 They made two settings of gold and two gold rings, and they attached the two rings to the two corners of the breastpiece.

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

17 They put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at the corners of the breastpiece.

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

18 They attached the other two ends of the braided chains to the two settings. They attached them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at its front.

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.

19 They made two rings of gold and put them on the two other corners of the breastpiece, on the edge next to the inner border.

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.

20 They made two more gold rings and attached them to the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the front of the ephod, close to its seam above the finely-woven waistband of the ephod.

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.

21 They tied the breastpiece by its rings to the ephod's rings with a blue cord, so that it might be attached just above the ephod's finely-woven waistband. This was so that the breastpiece might not become unattached from the ephod. This was done as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

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.

22 Bezalel made the robe of the ephod entirely of blue fabric, the work of a weaver.

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

23 It had an opening for the head in the middle. The opening had a woven edge round about so that it did not tear.

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.

24 On the bottom hem, they made pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and of fine linen.

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

25 They made bells of pure gold, and they put the bells between the pomegranates all around on the bottom edge the robe, between the pomegranates—

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;

26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate—on the edge of the robe for Aaron to serve in. This was as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

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.

27 They made the coats of fine linen for Aaron and for his sons.

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

28 They made the turban of fine linen, the ornate headbands of fine linen, the linen undergarments of fine linen,

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

29 and the sash of fine linen and of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, the work of an embroiderer. This was as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

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

30 They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold; they engraved on it, like the engraving on a signet, “Holy to Yahweh.”

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.

31 They attached to the turban a blue cord to the top of the turban. This was as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

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

32 So the work on the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, was finished. The people of Israel did everything. They followed all the instructions that Yahweh had given to Moses.

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.

33 They brought the tabernacle to Moses—the tent and all its equipment, its clasps, frames, bars, posts, and bases;

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,

34 the covering of ram skins dyed red, the covering of sea cow leather, and the curtain to conceal

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

35 the ark of the testimony, as well as the poles and the atonement lid.

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

36 They brought the table, all its utensils, and the bread of the presence;

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

37 the lampstand of pure gold and its lamps in a row, with its accessories and the oil for the lamps;

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

38 the golden altar, the anointing oil and the fragrant incense; the hanging for the tabernacle entrance;

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

39 the bronze altar with its bronze grate and its poles and utensil and the large basin with its base.

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

40 They brought the hangings for the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the courtyard entrance; its ropes and tent pegs; and all the equipment for the service of the tabernacle, the tent of meeting.

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;

41 They brought the fine woven garments for serving in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest and his sons, for them to serve as priests.

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.

42 Thus the people of Israel did all the work as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

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

43 Moses examined all the work, and, behold, they had done it. As Yahweh had commanded, in that way they did it. Then Moses blessed them.

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.
