Exodus 39

1 Truly, from hyacinth and purple, vermillion and fine linen, he made the vestments with which Aaron was clothed when he ministered in the holy places, just as the Lord instructed Moses.

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.

2 And so he made an ephod of gold, hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen,

And the offering of silver from the men that were numbered of the congregation a hundred talents, and a thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels, one drachm apiece, even the half shekel, according to the holy shekel.

3 wrought with embroidery. And he cut thin strips of gold and drew them into threads, so that they could be twisted into the weave of the first colors.

Every one that passed the survey from twenty years old and upwards to the [number of] six hundred thousand, and three thousand five hundred and fifty.

4 And he made two edges, coupled to one another at the top of both sides,

And the hundred talents of silver went to the casting of the hundred chapiters of the tabernacle, and to the chapiters of the veil;

5 and a wide belt from the same colors, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.

a hundred chapiters to the hundred talents, a talent to a chapiter.

6 He also prepared two onyx stones, set and enclosed in gold, and engraved with the skill of a jeweler, with the names of the sons of Israel.

And the thousand seven hundred and seventy-five shekels he formed into hooks for the pillars, and he gilt their chapiters and adorned them.

7 And he set them in the sides of the ephod, as a memorial to the sons of Israel, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.

And the brass of the offering [was] seventy talents, and a thousand five hundred shekels;

8 He also made a breastplate, wrought with embroidery, according to the work of the ephod, from gold, hyacinth, purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen:

and they made of it the bases of the door of the tabernacle of witness,

9 with four equal sides, doubled, of the measure of the palm of a hand.

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;

10 And he set four rows of gems in it. In the first row was a sardius stone, a topaz, an emerald;

and the brazen appendage of the altar, and all the vessels of the altar, and all the instruments of the tabernacle of witness.

11 in the second was a garnet, a sapphire, and a jasper;

And the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses, so did they.

12 in the third was a zircon, an agate, and an amethyst;

And of the gold that remained of the offering they made vessels to minister with before the Lord.

13 in the fourth was a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl, surrounded and enclosed in gold by their rows.

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;

14 And these twelve stones were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, each one with a single name.

and they brought the garments to Moses, and the tabernacle, and its furniture, its bases and its bars and the posts;

15 They also made, in the breastplate, little chains linked to one another, from the purest gold,

and the ark of the covenant, and its bearers, and the altar and all its furniture.

16 and two hooks, and the same number of gold rings. Moreover, they set the rings at both sides of the breastplate,

And they made the anointing oil, and the incense of composition, and the pure candlestick,

17 from which two golden chains would hang, which they connected with the hooks that projected from the corners of the ephod.

and its lamps, lamps for burning, and oil for the light,

18 These were both in front and in back so that they met one another, and so that the ephod and the breastplate were woven together,

and the table of show bread, and all its furniture, and the show bread upon it,

19 being fastened to the wide belt and strongly coupled with rings, to which a hyacinth band was joined, lest they should shake loose and be moved away from one another, just as the Lord instructed Moses.

and the garments of the sanctuary which belong to Aaron, and the garments of his sons, for the priestly ministry;

20 They also made the tunic of the ephod entirely from hyacinth,

and the curtains of the court, and the posts, and the veil of the door of the tabernacle, and the gate of the court,

21 with the head in the upper part at the middle, and a woven edge all around the head.

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.

22 Then, at the feet below, they also made pomegranates from hyacinth, purple, vermillion, and fine twisted linen,

Whatsoever things the Lord appointed Moses, so did the children of Israel make all the furniture.

23 and little bells from the purest gold, which they set between the pomegranates at the very bottom of the tunic all around.

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.

24 So then, the high priest approached, adorned with gold bell and pomegranate, when he performed his ministry, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.

25 They also made fine linen tunics with woven work, for Aaron and his sons,

26 and headdresses with their little crowns of fine linen,

27 and also linen undergarments of fine linen.

28 Truly, they also made a wide band of fine twisted linen, hyacinth, purple, as well as vermillion, twice-dyed, with skillful embroidery, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.

29 They also made the plate of sacred veneration from the purest gold, and they wrote on it, with the skill of a jeweler: “Holy to the Lord.”

30 And they fastened it to the headdress with a hyacinth band, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.

31 And so all the work of the tabernacle and of the covering of the testimony was completed. And the sons of Israel did all that the Lord had instructed Moses.

32 And they offered the tabernacle, and the covering, and all of the articles: the rings, the panels, the bars, the columns and bases,

33 the cover of the skins of rams, dyed red, and the other cover of violet skins,

34 the veil, the ark, the bars, the propitiatory,

35 the table, with its vessels and the bread of the presence,

36 the lampstand, the lamps, and their utensils with the oil,

37 the altar of gold, and the ointment, and the incense of aromatics,

38 and the tent at the entrance of the tabernacle,

39 the altar of brass, the grating, the bars, and all of its vessels, the washtub with its base, the hangings of the atrium, and the columns with their bases,

40 the hanging at the entrance of the atrium, and their little cords and pegs. Nothing was lacking of the articles that were commanded to be made for the ministry of the tabernacle and for the covering of the covenant.

41 Likewise, the vestments, which the priests, namely, Aaron and his sons, make use of use in the Sanctuary,

42 the sons of Israel offered, just as the Lord had instructed.

43 After this, when Moses saw that everything was completed, he blessed them.
