[1] And of the blue and purple and scarlet stuff they made finely wrought
garments, for ministering in the holy place; they made the holy garments
for Aaron; as the LORD had commanded Moses. [2] And he made the ephod of
gold, blue and purple and scarlet stuff, and fine twined linen. [3] And
gold leaf was hammered out and cut into threads to work into the blue and
purple and the scarlet stuff, and into the fine twined linen, in skilled
design. [4] They made for the ephod shoulder-pieces, joined to it at its
two edges. [5] And the skilfully woven band upon it, to gird it on, was of
the same materials and workmanship, of gold, blue and purple and scarlet
stuff, and fine twined linen; as the LORD had commanded Moses. [6] The onyx
stones were prepared, enclosed in settings of gold filigree and engraved
like the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the sons of
Israel. [7] And he set them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be
stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel; as the LORD had commanded
Moses. [8] He made the breastpiece, in skilled work, like the work of the
ephod, of gold, blue and purple and scarlet stuff, and fine twined linen.
[9] It was square; the breastpiece was made double, a span its length and a
span its breadth when doubled. [10] And they set in it four rows of stones.
A row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle was the first row; [11] and the
second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond; [12] and the third row,
a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; [13] and the fourth row, a beryl, an
onyx, and a jasper; they were enclosed in settings of gold filigree. [14]
There were twelve stones with their names according to the names of the
sons of Israel; they were like signets, each engraved with its name, for
the twelve tribes. [15] And they made on the breastpiece twisted chains
like cords, of pure gold; [16] and they made two settings of gold filigree
and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two edges of the
breastpiece; [17] and they put the two cords of gold in the two rings at
the edges of the breastpiece. [18] Two ends of the two cords they had
attached to the two settings of filigree; thus they attached it in front to
the shoulder-pieces of the ephod. [19] Then they made two rings of gold,
and put them at the two ends of the breastpiece, on its inside edge next to
the ephod. [20] And they made two rings of gold, and attached them in front
to the lower part of the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod, at its joining
above the skilfully woven band of the ephod. [21] And they bound the
breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, so
that it should lie upon the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and that the
breastpiece should not come loose from the ephod; as the LORD had commanded
Moses. [22] He also made the robe of the ephod woven all of blue; [23] and
the opening of the robe in it was like the opening in a garment, with a
binding around the opening, that it might not be torn. [24] On the skirts
of the robe they made pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet stuff and
fine twined linen. [25] They also made bells of pure gold, and put the
bells between the pomegranates upon the skirts of the robe round about,
between the pomegranates; [26] a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a
pomegranate round about upon the skirts of the robe for ministering; as the
LORD had commanded Moses. [27] They also made the coats, woven of fine
linen, for Aaron and his sons, [28] and the turban of fine linen, and the
caps of fine linen, and the linen breeches of fine twined linen, [29] and
the girdle of fine twined linen and of blue and purple and scarlet stuff,
embroidered with needlework; as the LORD had commanded Moses. [30] And they
made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it an
inscription, like the engraving of a signet, "Holy to the LORD." [31] And
they tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten it on the turban above; as the
LORD had commanded Moses. [32] Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the
tent of meeting was finished; and the people of Israel had done according
to all that the LORD had commanded Moses; so had they done. [33] And they
brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its utensils, its hooks,
its frames, its bars, its pillars, and its bases; [34] the covering of
tanned rams' skins and goatskins, and the veil of the screen; [35] the ark
of the testimony with its poles and the mercy seat; [36] the table with all
its utensils, and the bread of the Presence; [37] the lampstand of pure
gold and its lamps with the lamps set and all its utensils, and the oil for
the light; [38] the golden altar, the anointing oil and the fragrant
incense, and the screen for the door of the tent; [39] the bronze altar,
and its grating of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils; the laver and
its base; [40] the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its bases, and
the screen for the gate of the court, its cords, and its pegs; and all the
utensils for 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 serve as
priests. [42] According to all that the LORD had commanded Moses, so the
people of Israel had done all the work. [43] And Moses saw all the work,
and behold, they had done it; as the LORD had commanded, so had they done
it. And Moses blessed them.
