Exodus 39

1 And of the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, they made coloured garments, to minister in the sanctuary; and they make the holy garments which [are] for Aaron, as Jehovah hath 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 maketh the ephod, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen,

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

3 and they expand the plates of gold, and have cut off wires to work in the midst of the blue, and in the midst of the purple, and in the midst of the scarlet, and in the midst of the linen — work of a designer;

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 shoulder-pieces they have made for it, joining; at its two ends it is joined.

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

5 And the girdle of his ephod which [is] on it is of the same, according to its work, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, as Jehovah hath 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 prepare the shoham stones, set, embroidered [with] gold, opened with openings of a signet, by 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 and he setteth them on the shoulders of the ephod — stones of memorial for the sons of Israel, as Jehovah hath 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 maketh the breastplate, work of a designer, like the work of the ephod, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and 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 hath been square; double they have made the breastplate, a span its length, and a span its breadth, doubled.

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

10 And they fill in it four rows of stones; a row of a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle [is] the one 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 an opal, 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 — set, embroidered [with] gold, in their settings.

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

14 And the stones, according to the names of the sons of Israel, are twelve, according to their names, openings of a signet, each 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 make on the breastplate wreathed chains, work of thick bands, of pure gold;

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

16 and they make two embroidered things of gold, and two rings of gold, 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 and they put the two thick bands of gold on 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 thick bands they have put on the two embroidered things, and they put them on the shoulders of the ephod, over-against 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 And they make two rings of gold, and set [them] on the two ends of the breastplate, on its border, which [is] on the side of the ephod within;

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 make two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulders of the ephod below, over-against its front, over-against its joining, 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 bind the breastplate by its rings unto the rings of the ephod, with a ribbon of blue, to be above the girdle of the ephod, and the breastplate is not loosed from off the ephod, as Jehovah hath 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 maketh the upper robe of the ephod, work of a weaver, completely of blue;

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

23 and the opening of the upper robe [is] in its midst, as the opening of a habergeon, a border [is] to its opening round about, it is not 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 make on the hems of the upper robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, twined.

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

25 And they make bells of pure gold, and put the bells in the midst of the pomegranates, on the hems of the upper robe, round about, in the midst of 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, [are] on the hems of the upper robe, round about, to minister in, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

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

27 And they make the coats of linen, work of a weaver, 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 beautiful bonnets of linen, and the linen trousers, of twined linen,

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

29 and the girdle of twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, work of an embroiderer, as Jehovah hath 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 make the flower of the holy crown of pure gold, and write on it a writing, openings of a signet, 'Holy to Jehovah;'

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 ribbon of blue, to put [it] on the mitre above, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

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

32 And all the service of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting is completed; and the sons of Israel do according to all that Jehovah hath commanded Moses; so they have done.

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 bring in 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, which are made 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 staves, and the mercy-seat;

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

36 the table, all its vessels, and the bread of the presence;

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

37 the pure candlestick, its lamps, the lamps of arrangement, and all its vessels, and the oil for the 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 spice-perfume, and the covering of the opening of the tent;

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 the brazen grate which it hath, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base.

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 covering for the gate of the court, its cords, and its pins; and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;

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 coloured clothes to minister in the sanctuary, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to act as priest in.

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 Jehovah hath commanded Moses, so have the sons of Israel done all the service;

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

43 and Moses seeth all the work, and lo, they have done it as Jehovah hath commanded; so they have done. And Moses doth bless 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.
