Exod 39
1
And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made finely wrought garments, for ministering
in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as YHWH commanded Moses.
2
And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
3
And they did 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, the work of
the skillful workman.
4
They made shoulder-pieces for it, joined together; at the two ends was it joined together.
5
And the skilfully woven band, that was upon it, wherewith to gird it on, was of the
same piece [and] like its work; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet,
and fine twined linen; as YHWH commanded Moses.
6
And they wrought the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold, graven with the engravings
of a signet, according to the names of the children of Israel.
7
And he put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for
the children of Israel; as YHWH commanded Moses.
8
And he made the breastplate, the work of the skillful workman, like the work of the
ephod; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9
It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was its length,
and a span its breadth, being double.
10
And they set in it four rows of stones. A row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle was
the first row;
11
and the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond;
12
and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
13
and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jaspar: they were enclosed in inclosings
of gold in their settings.
14
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 according to his name,
for the twelve tribes.
15
And they made upon the breastplate chains like cords, of wreathen work of pure gold.
16
And they made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the
two ends of the breastplate.
17
And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.
18
And the [other] two ends of the two wreathen chains they put on the two settings,
and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, in its forepart.
19
And they made two rings of gold, and put them upon the two ends of the breastplate,
upon its edge, which was toward the side of the ephod inward.
20
And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod
underneath, in its forepart, close by its coupling, above the skilfully
woven band of the ephod.
21
And they did bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with
a lace of blue, that it might be upon the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and that
the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as YHWH commanded Moses.
22
And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
23
And the hole of the robe in its midst, as the hole of a coat of mail, with
a binding round about the hole of it, that it should not be rent.
24
And they made upon the skirts of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet,
[and] twined [linen].
25
And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon
the skirts of the robe round about, between the pomegranates;
26
a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round
about, to minister in; as YHWH commanded Moses.
27
And they made the coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,
28
and the mitre of fine linen, and the goodly head-tires of fine linen, and the linen
breeches of fine twined linen,
29
and the girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, the work of
the embroiderer; as YHWH commanded Moses.
30
And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing,
like the engravings of a signet, HOLY TO JEHOVAH.
31
And they tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten it upon the mitre above; as YHWH commanded
Moses.
32
Thus was finished all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting: and the children
of Israel did according to all that YHWH commanded Moses; so did they.
33
And they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the Tent, and all its furniture, its clasps,
its boards, it bars, and its pillars, and it sockets;
34
and the covering of rams` skins dyed red, and the covering of sealskins, and the veil
of the screen;
35
the ark of the testimony, and its staffs, and the mercy-seat;
36
the table, all its vessels, and the showbread;
37
the pure candlestick, its lamps, even the lamps to be set in order, and all
its vessels, and the oil for the light;
38
and the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the screen
for the door of the Tent;
39
the brazen altar, and its grating of brass, its staffs, and all its vessels, the laver
and its base;
40
the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its sockets, and the screen for the gate
of the court, its cords, and its pins, and all the instruments of
the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;
41
the finely wrought garments for ministering in the holy place, and 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 YHWH commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the
work.
43
And Moses saw all the work, and, behold, they had done it; as YHWH had commanded,
even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
