39:1-31
Exo. 39
:1
39:1
aAnd from the blue and the purple and the scarlet
strands, they made finely worked
1garments for ministering in the sanctuary, and made the holy
bgarments for Aaron, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Exo. 39
:2
39:2
And 1aBezalel made the ephod of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet
strands and fine twined linen.
Exo. 39
:3
39:3
And they beat the gold into thin sheets and cut
them into threads, to work into the blue and into the purple and into the scarlet
strands and into the fine linen, the work of a skillful workman.
Exo. 39
:4
39:4
They made shoulder pieces for it, joined
to it; at the two edges it was joined.
Exo. 39
:5
39:5
And the skillfully woven band, which was on it
1for its fastening, was of
one piece with it
and like it in workmanship, of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet
strands and fine twined linen, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Exo. 39
:6
39:6
And they made the onyx stones enclosed in
1settings of gold, engraved with the engravings of a signet according to the names of the sons of Israel.
Exo. 39
:7
39:7
And he put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Exo. 39
:8
39:8
aAnd he made the breastplate, the work of a skillful workman, like the work of the ephod, of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet
strands and of fine twined linen.
Exo. 39
:9
39:9
It was square; they made the breastplate doubled; a span in its length and a span in its width when doubled.
Exo. 39
:10
39:10
And they filled it with four rows of stones. The first row was a row of a sardius, a topaz, and an emerald;
Exo. 39
:11
39:11
And the second row, a
1carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond;
Exo. 39
:12
39:12
And the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
Exo. 39
:13
39:13
And the fourth row, a
1chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in settings of gold in their enclosures.
Exo. 39
:14
39:14
And the stones were according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to their names,
like the engravings of a signet, each according to his name, for the twelve tribes.
Exo. 39
:15
39:15
And they made on the breastplate twisted chains, a corded work of pure gold.
Exo. 39
:16
39:16
And they made two settings of gold and two rings of gold, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
Exo. 39
:17
39:17
And they put the two cords of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.
Exo. 39
:18
39:18
And the two
other ends of the two cords they put on the two settings and put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front of it.
Exo. 39
:19
39:19
And they made two rings of gold and put
them on the two ends of the breastplate on its edge, which was toward the ephod on the inside.
Exo. 39
:20
39:20
And they made two rings of gold and put them on the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod on the front of it, close to the place where it is joined, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.
Exo. 39
:21
39:21
And they bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue
strands, that it might be upon the skillfully woven band of the ephod and that the breastplate might not come loose from the ephod, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Exo. 39
:22
39:22
aAnd he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue
strands,
Exo. 39
:23
39:23
And the opening of the robe in its center like the opening of a coat of mail, with a
binding edge around its opening so that it would not be torn.
Exo. 39
:24
39:24
And they made on the hem of the robe pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet
strands, twined.
Exo. 39
:25
39:25
And they made bells of pure gold and put the bells between the pomegranates on the hem of the robe all around, between the pomegranates;
Exo. 39
:26
39:26
A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, on the hem of the robe all around, to minister in; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Exo. 39
:27
39:27
And they made the
atunics of fine linen of woven work for Aaron and for his sons,
Exo. 39
:28
39:28
And the turban of fine linen, and the headdresses of high hats of fine linen, and the linen trousers of fine twined linen,
Exo. 39
:29
39:29
And the girding sash of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet
strands, the work of an embroiderer, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
Exo. 39
:30
39:30
aAnd they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold and wrote an inscription upon it,
like the engravings of a signet: HOLINESS TO JEHOVAH.
Exo. 39
:31
39:31
And they tied to it a cord of blue
strands to fasten it on the turban above, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
