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.

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.

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

Bezalel made the ephod of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet wool, and of fine twined 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;

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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;

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.

7 and he setteth them on the shoulders of the ephod — stones of memorial for the sons of Israel, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.

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.

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 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.

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

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

10 And they fill in it four rows of stones; a row of a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle [is] the one row;

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

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

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

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

The third row had 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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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;

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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;

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

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

On the bottom hem, they made pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and of fine 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;

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—

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.

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.

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

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.

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;'

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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