Exodus 39

1 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.

And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made finely wrought garments, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.

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

And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

3 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.

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, the work of the cunning workman.

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

They made shoulderpieces for it, joined together: at the two ends was it joined together.

5 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.

And the cunningly woven band, that was upon it, to gird it on withal, was of the same piece [and] like the work thereof; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.

6 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.

And they wrought the onyx stones, enclosed in ouches of gold, graven with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children of Israel.

7 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.

And he put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.

8 The priest's bag was designed like the ephod, of the best linen worked with gold and blue and purple and red.

And he made the breastplate, the work of the cunning workman, like the work of the ephod; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

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

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

10 And on it they put four lines of stones: in the first line was a carnelian, a chrysolite, and an emerald;

And they set in it four rows of stones: a row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle was the first row.

11 In the second, a ruby, a sapphire, and an onyx;

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

12 In the third, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

And the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst.

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

And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were enclosed in ouches of gold in their settings.

14 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.

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 according to his name, for the twelve tribes.

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

And they made upon the breastplate chains like cords, of wreathen work of pure gold.

16 And they made two gold frames and two gold rings, the rings being fixed to the ends of the priest's bag;

And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

17 And they put the two twisted chains on the two rings at the ends of the priest's bag;

And they put the two wreathen chains of gold on the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.

18 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.

And the [other] two ends of the two wreathen chains they put on the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, in the forepart thereof.

19 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.

And they made two rings of gold, and put them upon the two ends of the breastplate, upon the edge thereof, which was toward the side of the ephod inward.

20 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.

And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulderpieces of the ephod underneath, in the forepart thereof, close by the coupling thereof, above the cunningly woven band of the ephod.

21 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.

And they did bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be upon the cunningly woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.

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

And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue;

23 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.

and the hole of the robe in the midst thereof, as the hole of a coat of mail, with a binding round about the hole of it, that it should not be rent.

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

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

25 And between the fruits all round the skirt they put gold bells, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the skirts of the robe round about, between the pomegranates;

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

a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about, to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.

27 The coats for Aaron and his sons they made of the best linen;

And they made the coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,

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

and the mitre of fine linen, and the goodly headtires of fine linen, and the linen breeches of fine twined linen,

29 And a linen band worked with a design of blue and purple and red, as the Lord had said to Moses.

and the girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, the work of the embroiderer; as the LORD commanded Moses.

30 The plate for the holy crown was made of the best gold, and on it were cut these words, HOLY TO THE LORD.

And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like the engravings of a signet, HOLY TO THE LORD.

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

And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it upon the mitre above; as the LORD commanded Moses.

32 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.

Thus was finished all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting: and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

33 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;

And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the Tent, and all its furniture, its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets;

34 The outer cover of sheepskins coloured red, and the cover of leather, and the veil for the doorway;

and the covering of rams’ skins dyed red, and the covering of sealskins, and the veil of the screen;

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

the ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy-seat;

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

the table, all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread;

37 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;

the pure candlestick, the lamps thereof, even the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for the light;

38 And the gold altar, and the holy oil, and the sweet perfume for burning, and the curtain for the doorway of the tent;

and the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the screen for the door of the Tent;

39 And the brass altar, with its network of brass, and its rods and all its vessels, and the washing-vessel and its base;

the brasen altar, and its grating of brass, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base;

40 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;

the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court, the cords thereof, and the pins thereof, and all the instruments of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;

41 The robes for use in the holy place, and the holy robes for Aaron and his sons when acting as priests.

the finely wrought garments for ministering in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office.

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

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

43 Then Moses, when he saw all their work and saw that they had done everything as the Lord had said, gave them his blessing.

And Moses saw all the work, and, behold, they had done it; as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
