Exodus 39

1 And of the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, they made colored garments, to minister in the holy place. And they made the holy garments which were for Aaron, as YHWH had commanded Moses. 2 And he made the ephod, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, 3 and they expanded the plates of gold, and had cut off wires to work in the middle of the blue, and in the middle of the purple, and in the middle of the scarlet, and in the middle of the linen—the work of a designer. 4 They made shoulder-pieces for it, joining. It was joined at its two ends. 5 And the girdle of his ephod which was on it was of the same, according to its work, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, as YHWH had commanded Moses. 6 And they prepared the shoham stones, set with filigrees of gold, engraved with engravings of a signet—the names of the sons of Israel on them. 7 And he set them on the shoulders of the ephod—stones of memorial for the sons of Israel, as YHWH had commanded Moses. 8 And he made the breastplate, the work of a designer, like the work of the ephod, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen. 9 It had been square. They made the breastplate double, a span its length, and a span its breadth, doubled. 10 And they filled four rows of stones in it: a row of a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle was the first row. 11 And the second row an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond. 12 And the third row an opal, an agate, and an amethyst. 13 And the fourth row a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper—set with filigrees of gold in their settings. 14 And the stones, according to the names of the sons of Israel, were twelve, according to their names, engravings of a signet, each according to his name, for the twelve tribes. 15 And they made wreathed chains on the breastplate, the work of thick bands of pure gold. 16 And they made two filigrees of gold, and two rings of gold, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate, 17 and they put the two thick bands of gold on the two rings on the ends of the breastplate. 18 And they put the two ends of the two thick bands on the two filigrees, and they put them on the shoulders of the ephod, toward the front of its face. 19 And they made two rings of gold, and set them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its border, which was on the side of the ephod within. 20 And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulders of the ephod below, in front of its front, close by its joining, above the girdle of the ephod. 21 And they bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod, with a ribbon of blue, to be above the girdle of the ephod, and the breastplate was not loosed from off the ephod, as YHWH had commanded Moses. 22 And he made the upper robe of the ephod, the work of a weaver, completely of blue. 23 And the opening of the upper robe was in its middle, as the opening of a linen habergeon, with a border for its opening all around. It was not torn. 24 And they made on the hems of the upper robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, twined. 25 And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells in the middle of the pomegranates, on the hems of the upper robe, all around, in the middle of the pomegranates. 26 A bell and a pomegranate and a bell and a pomegranate were on the hems of the upper robe all around, to minister in, as YHWH had commanded Moses. 27 And they made the coats of linen, the work of a weaver, for Aaron and for his sons, 28 and the turban of linen, and the beautiful caps of linen, and the linen trousers, of twined linen, 29 and the girdle of twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, the work of an embroiderer, as YHWH had commanded Moses. 30 And they made the flower of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote a writing on it, engravings of a signet: “Holy to YHWH”. 31 And they put a ribbon of blue on it, to put it on the turban above, as YHWH had commanded Moses. 32 And all the service of the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting was completed. And the sons of Israel did according to all that YHWH had commanded Moses. So they had done. 33 And they brought in the Dwelling Place to Moses, the tent, and all its vessels, its hooks, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets. 34 And the covering of rams’ skins, which were made red, and the covering of tachashim skins, and the veil of the covering. 35 The Ark of the Testimony and its poles, and the propitiatory covering. 36 The table, all its vessels, and the Bread of the Presentation. 37 The pure lampstand, its lamps, the lamps of arrangement, and all its vessels, and the oil for the light. 38 And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the spice-incense, and the covering of the opening of the tent. 39 The bronze altar and the bronze grate which it had, its poles, and all its vessels, the laver and its base. 40 The hangings of the court, its pillars, and its sockets. And the covering for the gate of the court, its cords, and its pins. And all the vessels of the service of the Dwelling Place, for the Tent of Meeting. 41 The colored clothes to minister in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to act as priest in. 42 According to all that YHWH had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel had done all the service. 43 And Moses saw all the work, and look, they had done it as YHWH had commanded. So they had done. And Moses blessed them.
