Exodus 39
1 All the gold that was employed for the works according to all the fabrication of the holy things, was of the gold of the offerings, twenty-nine talents, and seven hundred and twenty shekels according to the holy shekel.
From the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn they made specially woven garments for ministry in the sanctuary, as well as the holy garments for Aaron, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
2 And the offering of silver from the men that were numbered of the congregation a hundred talents, and a thousand and seven hundred and seventy-five shekels, one drachm apiece, even the half shekel, according to the holy shekel.
Bezalel made the ephod of finely spun linen embroidered with gold, and with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn.
3 Every one that passed the survey from twenty years old and upwards to the [number of] six hundred thousand, and three thousand and five hundred and fifty.
They hammered out thin sheets of gold and cut threads from them to interweave with the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen—the work of a skilled craftsman.
4 And the hundred talents of silver went to the casting of the hundred chapiters of the tabernacle, and to the chapiters of the veil;
They made shoulder pieces for the ephod, which were attached at two of its corners, so it could be fastened.
5 a hundred chapiters to the hundred talents, a talent to a chapiter.
And the skillfully woven waistband of the ephod was of one piece with the ephod, of the same workmanship—with gold, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and with finely spun linen, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
6 And the thousand and seven hundred and seventy-five shekels he formed into hooks for the pillars, and he gilt their chapiters and adorned them.
They mounted the onyx stones in gold filigree settings, engraved like a seal with the names of the sons of Israel.
7 And the brass of the offering [was] seventy talents, and a thousand and five hundred shekels;
Then they fastened them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
8 and they made of it the bases of the door of the tabernacle of witness,
He made the breastpiece with the same workmanship as the ephod, with gold, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and with finely spun linen.
9 and the bases of the court round about, and the bases of the gate of the court, and the pins of the tabernacle, and the pins of the court round about;
It was square when folded over double, a span long and a span wide.
10 and the brazen appendage of the altar, and all the vessels of the altar, and all the instruments of the tabernacle of witness.
And they mounted on it four rows of gemstones: The first row had a ruby, a topaz, and an emerald;
11 And the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses, so did they.
the second row had a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;
12 And of the gold that remained of the offering they made vessels to minister with before the Lord.
the third row had a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
13 And the blue that was left, and the purple, and the scarlet they made [into] garments of ministry for Aaron, so that he should minister with them in the sanctuary;
and the fourth row had a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. These stones were mounted in gold filigree settings.
14 and they brought the garments to Moses, and the tabernacle, and its furniture, its bases and its bars and the posts;
The twelve stones corresponded to the names of the sons of Israel. Each stone was engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.
15 and the ark of the covenant, and its bearers, and the altar and all its furniture.
For the breastpiece they made braided chains like cords of pure gold.
16 And they made the anointing oil, and the incense of composition, and the pure candlestick,
They also made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings, and fastened the two rings to the two corners of the breastpiece.
17 and its lamps, lamps for burning, and oil for the light,
Then they fastened the two gold chains to the two gold rings at the corners of the breastpiece,
18 and the table of show bread, and all its furniture, and the show bread upon it,
and they fastened the other ends of the two chains to the two filigree settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front.
19 and the garments of the sanctuary which belong to Aaron, and the garments of his sons, for the priestly ministry;
They made two more gold rings and attached them to the other two corners of the breastpiece, on the inside edge next to the ephod.
20 and the curtains of the court, and the posts, and the veil of the door of the tabernacle, and the gate of the court,
They made two additional gold rings and attached them to the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, on its front, near the seam just above its woven waistband.
21 and all the vessels of the tabernacle and all its instruments: and the skins, even rams' skins dyed red, and the blue coverings, and the coverings of the other things, and the pins, and all the instruments for the works of the tabernacle of witness.
Then they tied the rings of the breastpiece to the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue yarn, so that the breastpiece was above the waistband of the ephod and would not swing out from the ephod, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
22 Whatsoever things the Lord appointed Moses, so did the children of Israel make all the furniture.
They made the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth, the work of a weaver,
23 And Moses saw all the works; and they had done them all as the Lord commanded Moses, so had they made them; and Moses blessed them.
with an opening in the center of the robe like that of a garment, with a collar around the opening so that it would not tear.
They made pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and finely spun linen on the lower hem of the robe.
They also made bells of pure gold and attached them around the hem between the pomegranates,
alternating the bells and pomegranates around the lower hem of the robe to be worn for ministry, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
For Aaron and his sons they made tunics of fine linen, the work of a weaver,
as well as the turban of fine linen, the ornate headbands and undergarments of finely spun linen,
and the sash of finely spun linen, embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
They also made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and they engraved on it, like an inscription on a seal: HOLY TO THE LORD.
Then they fastened to it a blue cord to mount it on the turban, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
So all the work for the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, was completed. The Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Then they brought the tabernacle to Moses: the tent with all its furnishings, its clasps, its frames, its crossbars, and its posts and bases;
the covering of ram skins dyed red, the covering of fine leather, and the veil of the covering;
the ark of the Testimony with its poles and the mercy seat;
the table with all its utensils and the Bread of the Presence;
the pure gold lampstand with its row of lamps and all its utensils, as well as the oil for the light;
the gold altar, the anointing oil, the fragrant incense, and the curtain for the entrance to the tent;
the bronze altar with its bronze grating, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin with its stand;
the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases; the curtain for the gate of the courtyard, its ropes and tent pegs, and all the equipment for the service of the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting;
and the woven garments for ministering in the sanctuary, both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests.
The Israelites had done all the work just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
And Moses inspected all the work and saw that they had accomplished it just as the LORD had commanded. So Moses blessed them.
