Exodus 39

And from the blue and the purple and the worm of scarlet they made finely-woven clothes for service in the Holy Place. And they made the clothes of holiness which {were} for Aaron, just as God had commanded Moses. \*

And he made the ephod from gold, blue, and purple, worm of scarlet, and twisted fine linen.

And they hammered the thin plates of gold, and he cut {them} into threads to work among the blue and among the purple and among the worm of scarlet and among the fine linen, the work of a skillful craftsman. \*

They made joined shoulder pieces for it. It was joined on its two corners.

And the skillfully crafted sash of the ephod which is on it was from it, of like workmanship, of gold, blue, and purple and worm of scarlet and twined fine linen, just as God had commanded Moses. \*

And they made the stones of onyx {with} ornamental settings of gold surrounding {them}. The names of the sons of Israel {were} engraved on {them like} the engravings of a signet.

And he put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as stones of reminder for the sons of Israel, as God had commanded Moses. \*

And he made the breastpiece, the work of a skillful craftsman, like the work of the ephod, from gold, blue, and purple and worm of scarlet and twisted fine linen.

It was square, folded double. They made the breastpiece, its length: a span; and its width: a span folded double. \*

And they set in it four rows of precious stones. The first row {was} a row of a ruby, of a topaz, and of a garnet.

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

And the third row: a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst.

And the fourth row: a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. {The stones were} surrounded by ornamental gold settings. \*

And the precious stones {were} according to the names of the sons of Israel—they {were} according to their 12 names. Each {was like} the engraving of a signet according to its name—for the 12 tribes. \*

And they made twisted chains on the breastpiece, as a work of rope—pure gold.

And they made two ornamental settings of gold and two rings of gold and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastpiece. \*

And they attached the two chains of gold to the rings on the two ends of the breastpiece.

And they attached two of the ends of the two chains to the two ornamental settings. And they attached those to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front of its face. \*

And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastpiece, on the edge which is toward the inner side of the ephod.

And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder pieces of the ephod on the bottom of the front of its face, close to its joining above the skillfully crafted waistband of the ephod. \*

And they tied the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue to be on the finely crafted waistband of the ephod, so the breastpiece could not become detached from {being} with the ephod just as God had commanded Moses. \*

And he made the robe of the ephod entirely of blue, the work of a weaver.

The opening of the robe {was} in the middle of it like an opening of a garment. The edge for its opening was all around so that it could not tear. \*

On the bottom hem of the robe they made pomegranates of twisted blue, purple, and scarlet yarn.

And they made bells of pure gold, and they put the bells between the pomegranates all around on the bottom edge of the robe, between the pomegranates—

a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate—all around on the hem of the robe for serving, just as God had commanded Moses. \*

And they made the tunics of fine linen for Aaron and for his sons, the work of a weaver,

and the fine linen turban and the fine linen ornate headbands and the linen undergarments of fine twisted linen

and the sash of fine linen and of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, the work of an embroiderer, just as God had commanded Moses. \*

And they made the rosette of the crown of holiness of pure gold and inscribed an inscription on it, like the engraving on a signet, “Holy to God.”

And they put a cord of blue on it to attach it on the top of the turban, just as God had commanded Moses. \*

And all the service of the Dwelling, the tent of meeting, was finished. And the sons of Israel did according to all that God had commanded Moses; thus they did.

And they brought the Dwelling to Moses: the tent and all its equipment and its clasps and its frames and its bars and its pillars and its bases;

and the covering of reddened hides of rams and the covering of hides of sea-cows and the curtain of covering;

the Box of the Testimony and the poles and the atonement lid; \*

the table with all of its equipment and the bread of the faces;

the pure lampstand with its lamps, lamps of the row, and all its accessories and the oil of the light;

and the altar of gold and the oil of anointing and the incense of fragrance and the curtain of the entrance of the tent;

the altar of bronze and the grate of bronze that {is} for it, its poles and all of its utensils, the basin and its base; \*

the curtains of the courtyard, its pillars and bases and the curtain of the gate of the courtyard, its ropes and its tent pegs and all the items of the service of the Dwelling for the tent of meeting;

finely-woven clothing for serving in the Holy Place, the clothing of holiness for Aaron the priest, and the clothing of his sons, to {be} priests. \*

Thus the sons of Israel did all the work according to all that God had commanded Moses.

And Moses saw all of the work, and behold, they had done it. Just as God had commanded, thus they had done. And Moses blessed them. \*
