Exodus 39

1 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made clothes of service, to do service 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 And he made the ephod [of] gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

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

3 And they 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] curious 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, to couple [it] together: by the two edges was it coupled together.

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

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 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 And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven as signets are graven, with 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 shoulders of the ephod, [that they should be] stones for a memorial to 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 And he made the breast-plate [of] curious work, like the work of the ephod; [of] gold, blue, and purple, and 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 foursquare; they made the breast-plate double: a span [was] the length of it, and a span the breadth of it, [being] doubled.

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 [was] a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: 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, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.

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

12 And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.

In the third, a jacinth, 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, 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, [like] the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to 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 breast-plate chains 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 ouches [of] gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings in the two ends of the breast-plate.

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 breast-plate.

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 in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, before it.

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 rings of gold, and put [them] on the two ends of the breast-plate, upon the border of it, which [was] on 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 And they made two [other] golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, towards the forepart of it, over against the [other] coupling thereof, above the curious 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 bound the breast-plate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breast-plate might not be loosed 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 And 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 And [there was] a hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, [with] a band around the hole, that it should not rend.

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 hems of the robe pomegranates [of] blue, and purple, and 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 And they made bells [of] pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, around 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 hem 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 And they made 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 a miter [of] fine linen, and goodly bonnets [of] fine linen, and linen breeches [of] fine twined linen,

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

29 And a girdle [of] fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, [of] needle-work; 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 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 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 tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten [it] on high upon the miter; 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 was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

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 to Moses, the tent, and all its furniture, its buttons, 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 covering,

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 staffs, and the mercy-seat,

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

36 The table, [and] all its vessels, and the show-bread,

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

37 The pure candlestick, [with] its lamps, [even with] the lamps to be set in order, and all its vessels, and the oil for light,

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 sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle-door,

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 brazen altar, and its grate of brass, its staffs, 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 clothes 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.

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

42 According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.

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

43 And Moses looked upon 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.
