Exodus 39
1 Of the blue, purple, and scarlet, they made finely worked garments for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron, as the LORD commanded Moses.
And he made, of violet and purple, scarlet and fine linen, the vestments for Aaron to wear when he ministered in the holy places, as the Lord commanded Moses.
2 He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen.
So he made an ephod of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.
3 They beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in with the blue, the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen, the work of the skilful workman.
With embroidered work: and he cut thin plates of gold, and drew them small into threads, that they might be twisted with the woof of the aforesaid colours,
4 They made shoulder straps for it, joined together. It was joined together at the two ends.
And two borders coupled one to the other in the top on either side,
5 The skilfully woven band that was on it, with which to fasten it on, was of the same piece, like its work: of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, as the LORD commanded Moses.
And a girdle of the same colours, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
6 They worked the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold, engraved with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children of Israel.
He prepared also two onyx stones, fast set and closed in gold, and graven by the art of a lapidary, with the names of the children of Israel:
7 He put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel, as the LORD commanded Moses.
And he set them in the sides of the ephod for a memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
8 He made the breastplate, the work of a skilful workman, like the work of the ephod: of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen.
He made also a rational with embroidered work, according to the work of the ephod, of gold, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen,
9 It was square. They made the breastplate double. Its length was a span, and its width a span, being double.
Foursquare, double, of the measure of a span.
10 They set in it four rows of stones. A row of ruby, topaz, and beryl was the first row;
And he set four rows of precious stones in it. In the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and emerald.
11 and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;
In the second, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a jasper.
12 and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
In the third, a ligurius, an agate, and an amethyst.
13 and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in gold settings.
In the fourth, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl, set and enclosed in gold by their rows.
14 The stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, everyone according to his name, for the twelve tribes.
And the twelve stones were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, each one with its several name.
15 They made on the breastplate chains like cords, of braided work of pure gold.
They made also in the rational little chains linked one to another of the purest gold,
16 They made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
And two hooks, and as many rings of gold. And they set the rings on either side of the rational,
17 They put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.
On which rings the two golden chains should hang, which they put into the hooks that stood out in the corners of the ephod.
18 The other two ends of the two braided chains they put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod, in its front.
These both before and behind so answered one another, that the ephod and the rational were bound together,
19 They made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, which was towards the side of the ephod inward.
Being fastened to the girdle and strongly coupled with rings, which a violet fillet joined, lest they should flag loose, and be moved one from the other, as the Lord commanded Moses.
20 They made two more rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder straps of the ephod underneath, in its front, close by its coupling, above the skilfully woven band of the ephod.
They made also the tunick of the ephod all of violet,
21 They bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be on the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not come loose from the ephod, as the LORD commanded Moses.
And a hole for the head in the upper part at the middle, and a woven border round about the hole:
22 He made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
And beneath at the feet pomegranates of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen:
23 The opening of the robe in the middle of it was like the opening of a coat of mail, with a binding around its opening, that it should not be torn.
And little bells of the purest gold, which they put between the pomegranates at the bottom of the tunick round about:
24 They made on the skirts of the robe pomegranates of blue, purple, scarlet, and twined linen.
To wit, a bell of gold, and a pomegranate, wherewith the high priest went adorned, when he discharged his ministry, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
25 They made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates around the skirts of the robe, between the pomegranates;
They made also fine linen tunicks with woven work for Aaron and his sons:
26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, around the skirts of the robe, to minister in, as the LORD commanded Moses.
And mitres with their little crowns of fine linen:
27 They made the tunics of fine linen of woven work for Aaron and for his sons,
And linen breeches of fine linen:
28 the turban of fine linen, the linen headbands of fine linen, the linen trousers of fine twined linen,
And a girdle of fine twisted linen, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, of embroidery work, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
29 the sash of fine twined linen, blue, purple, and scarlet, the work of the embroiderer, as the LORD commanded Moses.
They made also the plate of sacred veneration of the purest gold, and they wrote on it with the engraving of a lapidary, The Holy of the Lord:
30 They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote on it an inscription, like the engravings of a signet: “HOLY TO THE LORD”.
And they fastened it to the mitre with a violet fillet, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
31 They tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten it on the turban above, as the LORD commanded Moses.
So all the work of the tabernacle and of the roof of the testimony was finished: and the children of Israel did all things which the Lord had commanded Moses.
32 Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting was finished. The children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses; so they did.
And they offered the tabernacle and the roof and the whole furniture, the rings, the boards, the bars, the pillars, and their sockets,
33 They brought the tabernacle to Moses: the tent, with all its furniture, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets,
The cover of rams’ skins dyed red, and the other cover of violet skins,
34 the covering of rams’ skins dyed red, the covering of sea cow hides, the veil of the screen,
The veil, the ark, the bars, the propitiatory,
35 the ark of the covenant with its poles, the mercy seat,
The table, with the vessels thereof, and the loaves of proposition:
36 the table, all its vessels, the show bread,
The candlestick, the lamps, and the furniture of them with the oil:
37 the pure lamp stand, its lamps, even the lamps to be set in order, all its vessels, the oil for the light,
The altar of gold, and the ointment, and the incense of spices:
38 the golden altar, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, the screen for the door of the Tent,
And the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle:
39 the bronze altar, its grating of bronze, its poles, all of its vessels, the basin and its base,
The altar of brass, the grate, the bars, and all the vessels thereof: the laver with the foot thereof: the hangings of the court, and the pillars with their sockets:
40 the hangings of the court, its pillars, its sockets, the screen for the gate of the court, its cords, its pins, and all the instruments of the service of the tabernacle, for the Tent of Meeting,
The hanging in the entry of the court, and the little cords, and the pins thereof. Nothing was wanting of the vessels, that were commanded to be made for the ministry of the tabernacle, and for the roof of the covenant.
41 the finely worked garments for ministering in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office.
The vestments also, which the priests, to wit, Aaron and his sons, used in the sanctuary,
42 According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work.
The children of Israel offered as the Lord had commanded.
43 Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded. They had done so; and Moses blessed them.
And when Moses saw all things finished, he blessed them.
