[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
Yahweh 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-pieces 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 Yahweh 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-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of
memorial for the children of Israel, as Yahweh 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
breadth 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-pieces of
the ephod, in the front of it. [19] They made two rings of gold, and put
them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it, which was
toward the side of the ephod inward. [20] They made two rings of gold, and
put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, in the front
of it, 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 Yahweh
commanded Moses. [22] He made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of
blue. [23] The opening of the robe in the midst 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 Yahweh
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 Yahweh 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 YAHWEH." [31] They tied to it a lace of
blue, to fasten it on the turban above, as Yahweh commanded Moses. [32]
Thus all the work of the tent of the tent of meeting was finished. The
children of Israel did according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses; so
they did. [33] They brought the tent to Moses, the tent, with all its
furniture, its clasps, its boards, it 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
lampstand, 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 brazen 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 tent, 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 Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children of
Israel did all the work. [43] Moses saw all the work, and, behold, they had
done it as Yahweh had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses
blessed them.
