Exodus Chapter 39

1And from the blue and purple and scarlet material they made the garments of office so as to serve in the holy place, and they made the holy garments which were for Aaron, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 2And they made the ephod from gold, and from blue and purple and scarlet material and from fine twined linen. 3And they beat the plates of gold thin, and they cut lengths of thread to work into the blue material, and into the purple material, and into the scarlet material, and into the fine linen. It was the work of a damask weaver. 4They made joined up shoulder-pieces for it. At its two ends it was joined up. 5And they made the embroidered belt of his ephod with which it went, with similar workmanship to it, of gold, and of blue and purple and scarlet thread and fine twined linen, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 6And they made the onyx gemstones enclosed in golden bezels, engraved with the engravings of a signet, with the names of the sons of Israel. 7And he put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, as memorial gemstones to the sons of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 8And he made the breastplate, the work of a damask weaver, like the workmanship of the ephod, in gold and blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twined linen. 9It was square; they made the breastplate double. Its length was a span, and its width was a span, folded double. 10And they set four rows of gemstones in it: a row of ruby, topaz and emerald. That was the first row. 11And the second row consisted of chrysoprase, sapphire and diamond. 12And the third row consisted of ligure, agate and amethyst. 13And the fourth row consisted of chrysolite, onyx and jasper, enclosed in golden bezels for setting them. 14And the gemstones were with the names of the sons of Israel – twelve of them with their names – the engravings being as on a signet, each one with its name for the twelve tribes. 15And they made edging chains on the breastplate – wreathed work of pure gold. 16And they made two golden insets, and two golden rings, and they put the two rings at the two ends of the breastplate, 17and they put the two golden wreaths on the two rings at the ends of the breastplate. 18And they put the two ends – the two wreaths – on the two insets, and they put them on the shoulders of the ephod on the front of it. 19And they made two golden rings, and they put them on the two ends of the breastplate on its edge which was on the side of the ephod facing inwards. 20And they made two golden rings, and they put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, at the front of it, opposite its join, above the embroidered belt of the ephod. 21And they bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a thread of blue yarn so that it was above the embroidered belt of the ephod and so that the breastplate would not become displaced from the ephod, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 22And he made the robe of the ephod – the workmanship of a weaver – entirely from blue material. 23And the opening of the robe in the middle of it was like the opening of a coat of mail, with a hem to the opening all around, so that it would not tear. 24And at the edges of the robe they made pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet thread, finely twined. 25And they made bells of pure gold, and they put the bells inside the pomegranates on the edges of the robe all around inside the pomegranates. 26A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate on the edges of the robe all around, to serve with, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 27And they made the tunics of fine linen – the workmanship of a weaver – for Aaron and his sons, 28and the turban of fine linen, and the ornamental high headgear of fine linen, and the linen trousers of fine twined linen, 29and the girdle of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet material – the workmanship of an embroiderer – as the Lord had commanded Moses. 30And they made the shining plate of the holy crown, of pure gold, and they wrote on it in the engraved writing of a signet, “Holiness to the Lord”. 31And they put a blue thread on it to go on the turban, high up, as the Lord had commanded Moses. 32And all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of contact was finished, and the sons of Israel made it according to everything that the Lord had commanded Moses – so they made it. 33And they brought the tabernacle to Moses – the tent and all its equipment – its clasps, its boards, its bolts, and its columns and its sockets, 34and its covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins and the screening veil, 35the ark of the testimony and its poles and the atonement cover, 36the table and all its equipment, and the showbread, 37the pure lampstand and its lamps – lamps in their arrangement – and all its equipment and oil for the light, 38and the golden altar and anointing oil, and the aromatic incense, and the screen at the entrance to the tent, 39the copper altar and the copper grate which belongs to it, its poles and all its equipment, and the laver and its pedestal, 40the drapes for the courtyard, its columns and its sockets, and the screen to the gate of the courtyard, and its guylines and its pegs and all the equipment for the work of the tabernacle for the tent of contact, 41the garments of office so as to serve in the holy place – the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to officiate as priests. 42The sons of Israel did all the work according to everything that the Lord had commanded Moses. 43And Moses saw all the artisanry, and the result was that they had made it as the Lord had commanded – so they had made it. And Moses blessed them.
