Exodus 39

1And from the needlework of blue and purple and red they made the robes used for the work of the holy place, and the holy robes for Aaron, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

1And of the blue and purple and scarlet they made garments of service, for service in the sanctuary, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

2The ephod he made of gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen;

2And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus.

3Hammering the gold into thin plates and cutting it into wires to be worked into the blue and the purple and the red and the linen by the designer.

3And they beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it [into] wires, to work it artistically into the blue, and into the purple, and into the scarlet, and into the byssus.

4And they made two bands for joining its edges together at the top of the arms.

4They made shoulder-pieces for it, joining it: at its two ends was it joined together.

5And the beautifully worked band which went on it was of the same design and the same material, worked in gold and blue and purple and red and twisted linen-work, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

5And 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 byssus; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

6Then they made the beryl stones, fixed in twisted frames of gold and cut like the cutting of a stamp, with the names of the children of Israel.

6And they wrought the onyx stones mounted in enclosures of gold, engraved with the engravings of a seal, according to the names of the sons of Israel.

7These he put on the ephod, over the arm-holes, to be stones of memory for the children of Israel, as the Lord had said to Moses.

7And he put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, [as] stones of memorial for the children of Israel; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

8The priest's bag was designed like the ephod, of the best linen worked with gold and blue and purple and red.

8And he made the breastplate of artistic work, like the work of the ephod, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus.

9It was square and folded in two, as long and as wide as the stretch of a man's hand;

9It was square; double did they make the breastplate, a span the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, doubled.

10And on it they put four lines of stones: in the first line was a carnelian, a chrysolite, and an emerald;

10And they set in it four rows of stones: [one] row, a sardoin, a topaz, and an emerald — the first row;

11In the second, a ruby, a sapphire, and an onyx;

11and the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond;

12In the third, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

12and the third row, an opal, an agate, and an amethyst;

13In the fourth, a topaz, a beryl, and a jasper; they were fixed in twisted frames of gold.

13and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper; mounted in enclosures of gold in their settings.

14There were twelve stones for the twelve tribes of Israel; on every one the name of one of the tribes of Israel was cut, like the cutting of a stamp.

14And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, engraved as a seal, every one according to his name, for the twelve tribes.

15And on the bag they put gold chains, twisted like cords.

15And they made on the breastplate chains of laced work of wreathen work, of pure gold.

16And they made two gold frames and two gold rings, the rings being fixed to the ends of the priest's bag;

16And they made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

17And they put the two twisted chains on the two rings at the ends of the priest's bag;

17And they put the two wreathen [cords] of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate;

18And the other two ends of the chains were joined to the two frames and fixed to the front of the ephod over the arm-holes.

18and the two ends of the two wreathen [cords] they fastened to the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, on the front thereof.

19And they made two rings of gold and put them on the two lower ends of the bag, on the inner side nearest to the ephod.

19And they made two rings of gold, and put [them] on the two ends of the breastplate, on the border thereof, which faceth the ephod inwards.

20And two other gold rings were put on the front of the ephod, over the arm-holes, at the join, and over the worked band.

20And they made two rings of gold, and put them upon the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, to the front thereof, just by the coupling thereof, above the girdle of the ephod.

21And the rings on the bag were fixed to the rings of the ephod by a blue cord, keeping it in place over the band, so that the bag might not get loose, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

21And they bound the breastplate with its rings to the rings of the ephod with lace of blue, that it might be above the girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

22The robe which went with the ephod was made all of blue;

22And he made the cloak of the ephod of woven work, all of blue;

23With a hole at the top in the middle, like the hole in the coat of a fighting-man, edged with a band to make it strong.

23and the opening of the cloak in its middle, as the opening of a coat of mail; a binding was round about the opening, that it should not rend.

24The skirts of the robe were worked all round with fruits in blue and purple and red made of twisted linen.

24And they made on the skirts of the cloak pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet, twined.

25And between the fruits all round the skirt they put gold bells, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

25And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates, in the skirts of the cloak, round about, between the pomegranates:

26All round the skirt of the robe were bells and fruits in turn.

26a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, in the skirts of the cloak round about, for service; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

27The coats for Aaron and his sons they made of the best linen;

27And they made the vests of byssus of woven work, for Aaron, and for his sons;

28And the twisted head-dress for Aaron, and beautiful head-dresses of linen, and linen trousers,

28and the turban of byssus; and the ornamental caps, of byssus; and the linen trousers, of twined byssus;

29And a linen band worked with a design of blue and purple and red, as the Lord had said to Moses.

29and the girdle, of twined byssus, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of embroidery; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

30The plate for the holy crown was made of the best gold, and on it were cut these words, HOLY TO THE LORD.

30And they made the thin plate, the holy diadem, of pure gold, and wrote on it with the writing of the engravings of a seal, Holiness to Jehovah!

31It was fixed to the head-dress by a blue cord, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

31And they fastened to it a lace of blue, to fasten [it] on the turban above; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

32So all the work on the House of the Tent of meeting was done; as the Lord had given orders to Moses, so the children of Israel did it.

32And all the labour of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was ended; and the children of Israel had done [it] according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses — so had they done [it].

33Then they took the House to Moses, the tent with all the things for it; its hooks, its boards, its rods, its pillars, and its bases;

33And they brought the tabernacle to Moses — the tent, and all its utensils, its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its bases;

34The outer cover of sheepskins coloured red, and the cover of leather, and the veil for the doorway;

34and the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the veil of separation;

35The ark of the law, with its rods and its cover;

35the ark of the testimony, and its staves, and the mercy-seat;

36The table, with all its vessels and the holy bread;

36the table, all its utensils, and the shewbread;

37The support for the lights, with the vessels for the lights to be put in their places on it, and all its vessels, and the oil for the lights;

37the pure candlestick, its lamps, the lamps set in order, and all its utensils, and the oil for the light;

38And the gold altar, and the holy oil, and the sweet perfume for burning, and the curtain for the doorway of the tent;

38and the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the incense of fragrant drugs; and the curtain for the entrance of the tent;

39And the brass altar, with its network of brass, and its rods and all its vessels, and the washing-vessel and its base;

39the copper altar, and the copper grating that was for it, its staves and all its utensils; the laver and its stand;

40The hangings for the open space, with the pillars and their bases, and the curtain for the doorway, and the cords and nails, and all the instruments necessary for the work of the House of the Tent of meeting;

40the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its bases; and the curtain for the gate of the court, its cords, and its pegs; and all the vessel's of service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;

41The robes for use in the holy place, and the holy robes for Aaron and his sons when acting as priests.

41the garments of service, for service in the sanctuary; the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to serve as priests.

42The children of Israel did everything as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

42According to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses, so had the children of Israel done all the labour.

43Then Moses, when he saw all their work and saw that they had done everything as the Lord had said, gave them his blessing.

43And Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it as Jehovah had commanded — so had they done [it]; and Moses blessed them.
