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