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.

Truly, from hyacinth and purple, vermillion and fine linen, he made the vestments with which Aaron was clothed when he ministered in the holy places, just as the Lord instructed Moses.

2 And he maketh the ephod, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen,

And so he made an ephod of gold, hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted 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;

wrought with embroidery. And he cut thin strips of gold and drew them into threads, so that they could be twisted into the weave of the first colors.

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

And he made two edges, coupled to one another at the top of both sides,

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 a wide belt from the same colors, just as the Lord had instructed 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;

He also prepared two onyx stones, set and enclosed in gold, and engraved with the skill of a jeweler, with the names of the sons 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.

And he set them in the sides of the ephod, as a memorial to the sons of Israel, just as the Lord had instructed 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;

He also made a breastplate, wrought with embroidery, according to the work of the ephod, from gold, hyacinth, purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen:

9 it hath been square; double they have made the breastplate, a span its length, and a span its breadth, doubled.

with four equal sides, doubled, of the measure of the palm of a 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 he set four rows of gems in it. In the first row was a sardius stone, a topaz, an emerald;

11 and the second row an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond;

in the second was a garnet, a sapphire, and a jasper;

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

in the third was a zircon, 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 was a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl, surrounded and enclosed in gold by their rows.

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.

And these twelve stones were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, each one with a single name.

15 And they make on the breastplate wreathed chains, work of thick bands, of pure gold;

They also made, in the breastplate, little chains linked to one another, from the purest gold,

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 two hooks, and the same number of gold rings. Moreover, they set the rings at both sides of the breastplate,

17 and they put the two thick bands of gold on the two rings on the ends of the breastplate;

from which two golden chains would hang, which they connected with the hooks that projected from the corners of the ephod.

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.

These were both in front and in back so that they met one another, and so that the ephod and the breastplate were woven together,

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;

being fastened to the wide belt and strongly coupled with rings, to which a hyacinth band was joined, lest they should shake loose and be moved away from one another, just as the Lord instructed Moses.

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;

They also made the tunic of the ephod entirely from hyacinth,

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.

with the head in the upper part at the middle, and a woven edge all around the head.

22 And he maketh the upper robe of the ephod, work of a weaver, completely of blue;

Then, at the feet below, they also made pomegranates from hyacinth, purple, vermillion, and fine twisted linen,

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;

and little bells from the purest gold, which they set between the pomegranates at the very bottom of the tunic all around.

24 and they make on the hems of the upper robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, twined.

So then, the high priest approached, adorned with gold bell and pomegranate, when he performed his ministry, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.

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;

They also made fine linen tunics with woven work, for Aaron and his sons,

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.

and headdresses with their little crowns of fine linen,

27 And they make the coats of linen, work of a weaver, for Aaron and for his sons,

and also linen undergarments of fine linen.

28 and the mitre of linen, and the beautiful bonnets of linen, and the linen trousers, of twined linen,

Truly, they also made a wide band of fine twisted linen, hyacinth, purple, as well as vermillion, twice-dyed, with skillful embroidery, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.

29 and the girdle of twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, work of an embroiderer, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

They also made the plate of sacred veneration from the purest gold, and they wrote on it, with the skill of a jeweler: “Holy to the Lord.”

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;'

And they fastened it to the headdress with a hyacinth band, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.

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

And so all the work of the tabernacle and of the covering of the testimony was completed. And the sons of Israel did all that the Lord had instructed 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.

And they offered the tabernacle, and the covering, and all of the articles: the rings, the panels, the bars, the columns and bases,

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;

the cover of the skins of rams, dyed red, and the other cover of violet skins,

34 and the covering of rams' skins, which are made red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the vail of the covering;

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

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

the table, with its vessels and the bread of the presence,

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

the lampstand, the lamps, and their utensils with the oil,

37 the pure candlestick, its lamps, the lamps of arrangement, and all its vessels, and the oil for the light.

the altar of gold, and the ointment, and the incense of aromatics,

38 And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the spice-perfume, and the covering of the opening of the tent;

and the tent at the entrance of the tabernacle,

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

the altar of brass, the grating, the bars, and all of its vessels, the washtub with its base, the hangings of the atrium, and the columns with their bases,

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 hanging at the entrance of the atrium, and their little cords and pegs. Nothing was lacking of the articles that were commanded to be made for the ministry of the tabernacle and for the covering of the covenant.

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.

Likewise, the vestments, which the priests, namely, Aaron and his sons, make use of use in the Sanctuary,

42 According to all that Jehovah hath commanded Moses, so have the sons of Israel done all the service;

the sons of Israel offered, just as the Lord had instructed.

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.

After this, when Moses saw that everything was completed, he blessed them.
