Exodus 39

1 Of the blue, purple, and scarlet, they made finely worked garments, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
2 He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen.3 They beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, in the purple, in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, the work of the skillful workman.4 They made shoulder straps for it, joined together. At the two ends it was joined together.

5 The skillfully woven band that was on it, with which to fasten it on, was of the same piece, like its work; of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen; as Yahweh commanded Moses.
6 They worked the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold, engraved with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children of Israel.

7 He put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
8 He made the breastplate, the work of a skillful workman, like the work of the ephod; of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen.9 It was square. They made the breastplate double. Its length was a span, and its breadth a span, being double.10 They set in it four rows of stones. A row of ruby, topaz, and beryl was the first row;11 and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphiret, and an emerald;12 and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;13 and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in gold settings.14 The stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, everyone according to his name, for the twelve tribes.15 They made on the breastplate chains like cords, of braided work of pure gold.16 They made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.17 They put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.18 The other two ends of the two braided chains they put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod, in its front.19 They made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, which was toward the side of the ephod inward.20 They made two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder straps of the ephod underneath, in its front, close by its coupling, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.

21 They bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not come loose from the ephod, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
22 He made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.23 The opening of the robe in its midst was like the opening of a coat of mail, with a binding around its opening, that it should not be torn.24 They made on the skirts of the robe pomegranates of blue, purple, scarlet, and twined linen.25 They made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates around the skirts of the robe, between the pomegranates;

26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, around the skirts of the robe, to minister in, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
27 They made the coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,28 and the turban of fine linen, and the linen headbands of fine linen, and the linen breeches of fine twined linen,

29 and the sash of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, the work of the embroiderer, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
30 They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote on it a writing, like the engravings of a signet: “HOLY TO YAHWEH.”

31 They tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten it on the turban above, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
32 Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting was finished. The children of Israel did according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses; so they did.33 They brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent, with all its furniture, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets,34 the covering of rams’ skins dyed red, the covering of sea cow hides, the veil of the screen,35 the ark of the testimony with its poles, the mercy seat,36 the table, all its vessels, the show bread,37 the pure lampstand, its lamps, even the lamps to be set in order, all its vessels, the oil for the light,38 the golden altar, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, the screen for the door of the Tent,39 the bronze altar, its grating of brass, its poles, all of its vessels, the basin and its base,40 the hangings of the court, its pillars, its sockets, the screen for the gate of the court, its cords, its pins, all the instruments of the service of the tabernacle, for the Tent of Meeting,41 the finely worked garments for ministering in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest’s office.42 According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work.

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

Exodus 39

The Making of the Priestly Garments

1 From the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn they made woven garments for serving in the sanctuary; they made holy garments that were for Aaron, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.s

The Ephod

2 He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen.3 They hammered the gold into thin sheets and cut it into narrow strips to weavet them into the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and into the fine linen, the work of an artistic designer.4 They made shoulder pieces for it, attached to two of its corners, so it could be joined together.

5 The artistically woven waistband of the ephod that was on it was like it, of one piece with it,t of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
6 They set the onyx stones in gold filigree settings, engraved as with the engravings of a sealt with the names of the sons of Israel.s

7 He putt them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as stones of memorial for the Israelites, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

The Breastpiece of Decision

8 He made the breastpiece, the work of an artistic designer, in the same fashion as the ephod, of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine twisted linen.9 It was square – they made the breastpiece doubled, nine inches long and nine inches wide when doubled.10 They set on itt four rows of stones: a row with a ruby, a topaz, and a beryl – the first row;11 and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;12 and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;13 and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in gold filigree settings.

14 The stones were for the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, corresponding to the number oft their names. Each name corresponding to one of the twelve tribes was like the engravings of a seal.
15 They made for the breastpiece braided chains like cords of pure gold,16 and they made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings, and they attached the two rings to the uppert two ends of the breastpiece.17 They attached the two gold chains to the two rings at the ends of the breastpiece;18 the othert two ends of the two chains they attached to the two settings, and they attached them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front of it.19 They made two rings of gold and put them on the othert two ends of the breastpiece on its edge, which is on the inner side of the ephod.t20 They made two moret gold rings and attached them to the bottom of the two shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod, close to the juncture above the waistband of the ephod.

21 They tied the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod by blue cord, so that it was above the waistband of the ephod, so that the breastpiece would not be loose from the ephod, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

The Other Garments

22 He made the robe of the ephod completely blue, the work of a weaver.23 There was an opening in the center of the robe, like the opening of a collar, with an edge all around the opening so that it could not be torn.24 They made pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and twisted linent around the hem of the robe.25 They made bells of pure gold and attached the bells between the pomegranates around the hem of the robe between the pomegranates.

26 There wast a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe, to be used in ministering,t just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
27 They made tunics of fine linen – the work of a weaver, for Aaron and for his sons –28 and the turban of fine linen, the headbands of fine linen, and the undergarments of fine twisted linen.29 The sash was of fine twisted linen and blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, the work of an embroiderer, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.30 They made a plate, the holy diadem, of pure gold and wrote on it an inscription, as on the engravings of a seal, “Holiness to the Lord.”

31 They attached to it a blue cord, to attach it to the turban above, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
