Exodus 39
1 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.
And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made clothes of service, to do service in the holy [place], and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.
2 So he made an ephod of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.
And he made the ephod [of] gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
3 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,
And they 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] curious work.
4 And two borders coupled one to the other in the top on either side,
They made shoulder-pieces for it, to couple [it] together: by the two edges was it coupled together.
5 And a girdle of the same colours, as the Lord 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 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:
And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.
7 And he set them in the sides of the ephod for a memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord 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 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,
And he made the breast-plate [of] curious work, like the work of the ephod; [of] gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9 Foursquare, double, of the measure of a span.
It was foursquare; they made the breast-plate double: a span [was] the length of it, and a span the breadth of it, [being] doubled.
10 And he set four rows of precious stones in it. In the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and emerald.
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 In the second, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a jasper.
And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
12 In the third, a ligurius, an agate, and an amethyst.
And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
13 In the fourth, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl, set and enclosed in gold by their rows.
And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: [they were] inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.
14 And the twelve stones were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, each one with its several name.
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 They made also in the rational little chains linked one to another of the purest gold,
And they made upon the breast-plate chains at the ends, [of] wreathed work [of] pure gold.
16 And two hooks, and as many rings of gold. And they set the rings on either side of the rational,
And they made two ouches [of] gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings in the two ends of the breast-plate.
17 On which rings the two golden chains should hang, which they put into the hooks that stood out in the corners of the ephod.
And they put the two wreathed chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breast-plate.
18 These both before and behind so answered one another, that the ephod and the rational were bound together,
And the two ends of the two wreathed chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, before it.
19 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.
And they made two rings of gold, and put [them] on the two ends of the breast-plate, upon the border of it, which [was] on the side of the ephod inward.
20 They made also the tunick of the ephod all of violet,
And they made two [other] golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, towards the forepart of it, over against the [other] coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod:
21 And a hole for the head in the upper part at the middle, and a woven border round about the hole:
And they bound the breast-plate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breast-plate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.
22 And beneath at the feet pomegranates of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen:
And he made the robe of the ephod [of] woven work, all [of] blue.
23 And little bells of the purest gold, which they put between the pomegranates at the bottom of the tunick round about:
And [there was] a hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, [with] a band around the hole, that it should not rend.
24 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.
And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, [and] twined [linen].
25 They made also fine linen tunicks with woven work for Aaron and his sons:
And they made bells [of] pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, around between the pomegranates;
26 And mitres with their little crowns of fine linen:
A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, around the hem of the robe to minister [in]; as the LORD commanded Moses.
27 And linen breeches of fine linen:
And they made coats [of] fine linen, [of] woven work, for Aaron and for his sons,
28 And a girdle of fine twisted linen, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, of embroidery work, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
And a miter [of] fine linen, and goodly bonnets [of] fine linen, and linen breeches [of] fine twined linen,
29 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:
And a girdle [of] fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, [of] needle-work; as the LORD commanded Moses.
30 And they fastened it to the mitre with a violet fillet, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
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 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.
And they tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten [it] on high upon the miter; as the LORD commanded Moses.
32 And they offered the tabernacle and the roof and the whole furniture, the rings, the boards, the bars, the pillars, and their sockets,
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 The cover of rams’ skins dyed red, and the other cover of violet skins,
And they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent, and all its furniture, its buttons, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets,
34 The veil, the ark, the bars, the propitiatory,
And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the vail of the covering,
35 The table, with the vessels thereof, and the loaves of proposition:
The ark of the testimony, and its staffs, and the mercy-seat,
36 The candlestick, the lamps, and the furniture of them with the oil:
The table, [and] all its vessels, and the show-bread,
37 The altar of gold, and the ointment, and the incense of spices:
The pure candlestick, [with] its lamps, [even with] the lamps to be set in order, and all its vessels, and the oil for light,
38 And the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle:
And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle-door,
39 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:
The brazen altar, and its grate of brass, its staffs, and all its vessels, the laver and its foot,
40 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.
The hangings of the court, its pillars, and its sockets, and the hanging for the court-gate, its cords, and its pins, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,
41 The vestments also, which the priests, to wit, Aaron and his sons, used in the sanctuary,
The clothes 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 The children of Israel offered as the Lord had commanded.
According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.
43 And when Moses saw all things finished, he blessed them.
And Moses looked 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.
