Exodus, 39

1. And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy [place], and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.

1. From the purple wool, violet shade and red, the crimson wool, and the fine linen they made beautiful priestly vestments for service in the sanctuary. They made the sacred vestments for service for Aaron, as Yahweh had directed Moses.

2. And he made the ephod [of] gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

2. They made the Ephod of gold thread, purple wool, violet shade and red, crimson wool, 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, [with] cunning work.

3. They beat gold into thin plates, and cut these into fine strips to weave into the purple wool, violet shade and red, into the crimson wool and the fine linen, as does the weaver of fine linen.

4. They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple [it] together: by the two edges was it coupled together.

4. For the Breastpiece they made two shoulder straps, joined to it at its two ends.

5. And the curious girdle of his ephod, that [was] upon it, [was] of the same, according to the work thereof; [of] gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.

5. The woven band on it to hold it formed one piece with it and was of similar workmanship: this was of gold thread, purple wool, violet shade and red, crimson wool, and fine twined linen, as Yahweh had directed Moses.

6. And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.

6. They fashioned the precious stones, mounted in settings of gold mesh and engraved, as a seal is engraved, with the names of the sons of Israel.

7. And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, [that they should be] stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.

7. They fastened the stones to the shoulder straps of the Breastpiece, stones commemorating the sons of Israel, as Yahweh had directed Moses.

8. And he made the breastplate [of] cunning work, like the work of the ephod; [of] gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

8. They made the Breastpiece, finely embroidered, of the same workmanship as the Ephod, of gold thread, purple wool, violet shade and red, and fine twined linen.

9. It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span [was] the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, [being] doubled.

9. It was square and folded double, nine inches long and nine inches wide.

10. And they set in it four rows of stones: [the first] row [was] a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this [was] the first row.

10. In this they set four rows of stones: sard, topaz, carbuncle, for the first row;

11. And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.

11. emerald, sapphire, diamond, for the second row;

12. And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.

12. for the third row, hyacinth, ruby, amethyst;

13. And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: [they were] inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.

13. and for the fourth row, beryl, onyx, jasper. These were mounted in settings of gold mesh

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 with his name, according to the twelve tribes.

14. and bore the names of the twelve sons of Israel. They were engraved as seals are, each with the name of one of the twelve tribes.

15. And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, [of] wreathen work [of] pure gold.

15. For the Breastpiece they made chains of pure gold twisted like cords.

16. And they made two ouches [of] gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.

16. They made two gold rosettes and two gold rings,

17. And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.

17. and they fastened the two gold cords to the two rings fixed on the corners of the Breastpiece.

18. And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.

18. The other two ends of the cords they fastened to the two rosettes; they were thus attached to the shoulder straps of the Ephod, on the front.

19. And they made two rings of gold, and put [them] on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which [was] on the side of the ephod inward.

19. They made two gold rings and fixed them to the lower corners of the Breastpiece, on the inner hem, next to the Ephod.

20. And they made two [other] golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the [other] coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.

20. And they made two more gold rings and fixed them low down on the front of the two shoulder straps of the Ephod, close to the seam, above the woven band of the apron.

21. And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.

21. They secured the Breastpiece by passing a ribbon of violet-purple through its rings and those of the apron, so that the Breastpiece would sit above the woven band and not come apart from the Ephod, as Yahweh had directed Moses.

22. And he made the robe of the ephod [of] woven work, all [of] blue.

22. Then they made the robe of the Ephod woven entirely of violet-purple.

23. And [there was] an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, [with] a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.

23. The opening in the center of it was like the neck of a shirt and around the opening was a border to keep the robe from tearing.

24. And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, [and] twined [linen].

24. The lower hem of the robe they decorated with pomegranates of purple wool, violet shade and red, crimson wool, and fine twined linen.

25. And they made bells [of] pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;

25. They also made bells of pure gold and placed them all around the lower hem of the robe between the pomegranates,

26. A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister [in]; as the LORD commanded Moses.

26. bells and pomegranates alternately all around the lower hem of the robe, as Yahweh had directed Moses.

27. And they made coats [of] fine linen [of] woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,

27. Then they made the shirts of finely woven linen for Aaron and his sons,

28. And a mitre [of] fine linen, and goodly bonnets [of] fine linen, and linen breeches [of] fine twined linen,

28. the headdress of fine linen, the shorts of fine twined linen,

29. And a girdle [of] fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, [of] needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.

29. the belts of fine twined linen, of purple wool, violet shade and red, and of crimson wool, finely embroidered, as Yahweh had directed Moses.

30. And they made the plate of the holy crown [of] pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, [like to] the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.

30. They also made the plate, the holy plate of pure gold, and engraved on it "Consecrated to Yahweh," as a man engraves a seal.

31. And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten [it] on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.

31. They tied to this a ribbon of violet-purple to secure it to the top of the turban, as Yahweh had directed Moses.

32. Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

32. So all the work of the tabernacle, that is the Tent of Meeting, was completed. In carrying it out the sons of Israel had done exactly as Yahweh had directed Moses.

33. And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his sockets,

33. Then they brought to Moses all these things, the Tent of Meeting, and all its furnishings: its hooks, frames, crossbars, posts, bases,

34. And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the vail of the covering,

34. the covering of rams' skins dyed red, the covering of fine leather, and the screening veil;

35. The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,

35. the ark of the Statement with its poles and the mercy Seat;

36. The table, [and] all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,

36. the table with all its furnishings, and the loaves of offering;

37. The pure candlestick, [with] the lamps thereof, [even with] the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,

37. the lampstand of pure gold with its lamps - the lamps that were to be set on it - and all its accessories; the oil, too, for the light;

38. And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door,

38. the golden altar, the anointing oil, the fragrant incense, the curtain for the entrance to the tent;

39. The brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,

39. the bronze altar with its grating of bronze, its poles and all its furnishings; the basin and its stand;

40. The hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, and the hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,

40. hangings of the court with their posts and bases, and the curtain for the gateway to the court, its cords, its pegs, and all the furniture for the service in the Holy Tent, the Tent of Meeting;

41. The cloths of service to do service in the holy [place], and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to minister in the priest's office.

41. the beautiful priestly vestments for service in the sanctuary, that is, the sacred vestments for Aaron the priest, and the vestments for his sons for the priestly functions.

42. According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.

42. The Israelites had done all the work exactly as Yahweh had directed Moses.

43. And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.

43. Moses examined the whole work, and he could see they had done it as Yahweh had directed him. And Moses blessed them.
