Exodus 39
39
Making the priests’ clothing
1They used the blue, purple, and deep red yarns to make the woven clothing for those ministering as priests in the sanctuary. They made the holy clothes for Aaron as the LORD had commanded Moses.
2They made the vest#39.2 Heb ephod of gold, of blue, purple, and deep red yarns, and of fine twisted linen. 3They beat out thin sheets of gold and cut them into threads to work into designs among the blue, purple, and deep red yarns and the fine linen. 4They made shoulder pieces for it attached to its two edges so that they could be joined together. 5The vest’s belt was attached to it and made in the same way of gold, of blue, purple, and deep red yarns, and of fine twisted linen, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
6They prepared the gemstones by mounting them in gold settings and engraving on them the names of Israel’s sons, like an official seal is engraved. 7The stones were attached to the vest’s shoulder pieces as reminder stones for the Israelites, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
8They made the embroidered chest pendant in the style of the vest, using gold, blue, purple, and deep red yarns, and fine twisted linen. 9They made the chest pendant square and doubled, nine inches long and nine inches wide when doubled. 10They set in it four rows of gemstones. The first row was a row of carnelian, topaz, and emerald stones. 11The second row was a turquoise, a sapphire, and a moonstone. 12The third row was a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst. 13The fourth row was a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. The settings around them were decorative gold. 14There were twelve stones with names corresponding to the names of Israel’s sons. They were engraved like official seals, each with its name for the twelve tribes. 15They made chains of pure gold, twisted like cords, for the chest pendant. 16They made two gold settings and two gold rings. They attached the two rings to the two edges of the chest pendant. 17They attached the two gold cords to the two rings at the edges of the chest pendant. 18Then they fastened the two ends of the two cords to the two gold settings and attached them to the front of the vest’s shoulder pieces. 19They made two gold rings, and they attached them to the two edges of the chest pendant, on its inside edge facing the vest. 20They made two gold rings and fastened them on the front of the lower part of the two shoulder pieces of the vest, at its seam just above the vest’s belt. 21The chest pendant was held in place by a blue cord binding its rings to the vest’s rings so that the chest pendant rested on the vest’s belt and didn’t come loose from the vest, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
22They also made the vest’s robe, woven completely in blue. 23The opening of the robe in the middle of it was reinforced with a strong border so that it didn’t tear. 24On the robe’s lower hem, they added pomegranates made of blue, purple, and deep red yarns and of fine twisted linen. 25They also made pure gold bells and sewed the bells between the pomegranates, all around the robe’s lower hem, 26with a bell and a pomegranate alternating all around the lower hem of the robe that is used for ministering as a priest, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
27They also made the tunics woven out of fine linen for Aaron and his sons, 28the turban of fine linen, the decorated turbans of fine linen, the linen undergarments of fine twisted linen, 29the sashes of fine twisted linen, and of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, decorated with needlework, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
30They made the flower ornament for the holy crown out of pure gold. Like the engraving on an official seal, they engraved on it the saying “Holy to the LORD.” 31They fastened to it a blue cord to tie it to the top of the turban, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Completion of dwelling construction
32In this way all the work of the meeting tent dwelling was finished. The Israelites did everything just exactly as the LORD had commanded Moses. 33Then they brought to Moses the dwelling, the tent, and all its equipment:
its clasps, its boards, its bars, its posts, and its bases,
34the covering of rams’ skins dyed red, the covering of beaded leather, and the veil for a screen,
35the chest containing the covenant with its poles and the cover,
36the table with all its equipment and the bread of the presence,
37the pure lampstand with its lamps set on it and all its equipment, and the oil for the light,
38the gold altar, the anointing oil, and the sweet-smelling incense,
the screen for the tent’s entrance,
39the copper altar and its copper grate, its poles, and all its equipment,
the washbasin with its stand,
40the courtyard’s drapes, its posts, and its bases,
the screen for the plaza’s gate, its cords, and its tent pegs,
and all the other equipment for the service of the dwelling, for the meeting tent,
41the woven clothes for ministering as priests in the sanctuary, the holy clothes for the priest Aaron and the clothes for his sons to serve as priests.
42The Israelites did all of the work just as the LORD had commanded Moses. 43When Moses saw that they in fact had done all the work exactly as the LORD had commanded, Moses blessed them.

Exodus 39
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 the LORD commanded Moses.
2 He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen. 3They beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in with the blue, the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen, the work of the skilful workman. 4They made shoulder straps for it, joined together. It was joined together at the two ends. 5The skilfully 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 the LORD 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. 7He put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel, as the LORD commanded Moses.
8 He made the breastplate, the work of a skilful workman, like the work of the ephod: of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen. 9It was square. They made the breastplate double. Its length was a span,#39:9 A span is the length from the tip of a man’s thumb to the tip of his little finger when his hand is stretched out (about half a cubit, or 9 inches, or 22.8 cm.) and its width a span, being double. 10They set in it four rows of stones. A row of ruby, topaz, and beryl was the first row; 11and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire,#39:11 or, lapis lazuli and an emerald; 12and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; 13and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in gold settings. 14The 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. 15They made on the breastplate chains like cords, of braided work of pure gold. 16They made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. 17They put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate. 18The 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. 19They made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, which was towards the side of the ephod inward. 20They made two more rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder straps of the ephod underneath, in its front, close by its coupling, above the skilfully woven band of the ephod. 21They bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be on the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not come loose from the ephod, as the LORD commanded Moses.
22 He made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue. 23The opening of the robe in the middle of it was like the opening of a coat of mail, with a binding around its opening, that it should not be torn. 24They made on the skirts of the robe pomegranates of blue, purple, scarlet, and twined linen. 25They made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates around the skirts of the robe, between the pomegranates; 26a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, around the skirts of the robe, to minister in, as the LORD commanded Moses.
27 They made the tunics of fine linen of woven work for Aaron and for his sons, 28the turban of fine linen, the linen headbands of fine linen, the linen trousers of fine twined linen, 29the sash of fine twined linen, blue, purple, and scarlet, the work of the embroiderer, as the LORD commanded Moses.
30 They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote on it an inscription, like the engravings of a signet: “HOLY TO THE LORD”. 31They tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten it on the turban above, as the LORD 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 the LORD commanded Moses; so they did. 33They brought the tabernacle to Moses: the tent, with all its furniture, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, its sockets, 34the covering of rams’ skins dyed red, the covering of sea cow hides, the veil of the screen, 35the ark of the covenant with its poles, the mercy seat, 36the table, all its vessels, the show bread, 37the pure lamp stand, its lamps, even the lamps to be set in order, all its vessels, the oil for the light, 38the golden altar, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, the screen for the door of the Tent, 39the bronze altar, its grating of bronze, its poles, all of its vessels, the basin and its base, 40the hangings of the court, its pillars, its sockets, the screen for the gate of the court, its cords, its pins, and all the instruments of the service of the tabernacle, for the Tent of Meeting, 41the 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. 42According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work. 43Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded. They had done so; and Moses blessed them.
