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, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy [place], and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD 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, and fine twined 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 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] cunning work.

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

They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple [it] together: by the two edges was it coupled 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 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.

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 onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with 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 shoulders of the ephod, [that they should be] stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD 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 [of] cunning work, like the work of the ephod; [of] gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

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

It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span [was] the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, [being] doubled.

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 [was] a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this [was] the first row.

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

And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.

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

And the third row, a ligure, an agate, 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 beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: [they were] inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.

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, [like] the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.

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

And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, [of] wreathen 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 ouches [of] gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in 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 wreathen 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 wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.

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 rings of gold, and put [them] on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which [was] on the 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 [other] golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the [other] coupling thereof, above the curious 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 did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD 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, all [of] blue.

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 hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, [with] a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.

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

And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, [and] twined [linen].

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 put the bells between the pomegranates upon the 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 hem of the robe to minister [in; ] as the LORD commanded Moses.

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

And they made coats [of] fine 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 a mitre [of] fine linen, and goodly bonnets [of] fine linen, and linen breeches [of] fine twined linen,

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 a girdle [of] fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, [of] needlework; as the LORD 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 to] the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS 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 tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten [it] on high upon the mitre; as the LORD 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 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.

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 his furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his 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 covering,

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

The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,

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

The table, [and] all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,

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] the lamps thereof, [even with] the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,

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 sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door,

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

The brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his 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, his pillars, and his sockets, and the hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his 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 service in the holy [place], and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons’ garments, to minister in the priest’s office.

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

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