1 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses. And every wise one among those that wrought made the robes of the holy places.
2 And he
made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine twined linen.
3 And they
did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, the threads of gold, to work, to
interweave it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in
the fine linen twined, with cunning
work [they made it a woven work].
4 They made
shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together, joined from both sides: by the two edges was it coupled together, a work woven by mutual twisting of the
parts into one another.
5 And the
curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same. They made it of the same material according
to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.
6 And they
wrought onyx stones [two emerald stones
clasped together] inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are
graven, with the names of the children of Israel.
7 And he put
them on the shoulders [on the
shoulder-pieces] of the ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to
the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
8 And he
made the breastplate [the oracle] of
cunning work, a work woven with
embroidery, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9 It was
foursquare; they made the breastplate [the
oracle] double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth
thereof, being doubled.
10 And they
set in it, interwoven with it a woven
work of four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a
carbuncle [emerald]: this was the
first row.
12 And the
third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
13 And the
fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper
[chrysolite]: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.
14 And the
stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according
to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according
to the twelve tribes.
15 And they
made upon the breastplate [the oracle]
chains at the ends [turned wreaths],
of wreathen work of pure gold.
16 And they
made two ouches [circlets] of gold,
and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate [on both the (upper) corners of the oracle].
17 And they
put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the
breastplate [the oracle], and the two
wreaths into the two couplings.
18 And the
two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches [circlets], and put them on the shoulderpieces
of the ephod, before it.
19 And they
made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate [projections on the top of the oracle],
upon the border of it, which was on the side [the hinder part] of the ephod inward.
20 And they made
two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides, on both the shoulders, of the ephod underneath, toward the
forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof [by the coupling above the connexion of the ephod], above the
curious girdle of the ephod.
21 And they
did bind the breastplate [the oracle]
by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be
above the curious girdle of the ephod [joined
together with the woven work of the ephod], and that the breastplate [oracle] might not be loosed from the
ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.
22 And he [they] made the robe of the ephod [the tunic under the ephod] of woven
work, all of blue.
23 And there
was an hole in the midst of the robe, woven
closely together, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round about the
hole, that it should not rend.
24 And they
made upon the hems of the robe [on the
border of the tunic below] pomegranates of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine twined linen.
25 And they
made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the
hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;
26 A bell
and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to
minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.
27 And they
made coats [vestments] of fine linen
of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,
28 And a
mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets [tires]
of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,
29 And a
girdle [their girdles] of fine twined
linen, and blue, and purple, and spun
scarlet, of needlework [the work of an
embroiderer]; as the LORD commanded Moses.
30 And they
made the plate of the holy crown, a
dedicated thing of the sanctuary, of pure gold, and wrote upon it a
writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
31 And they
tied unto it a lace of blue [they put it
on the border of blue], to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD
commanded Moses.
32 Thus was
all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation finished: and
the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so
did they. And of the gold that remained
of the offering they made vessels to minister with before the Lord. And the
blue that was left, and the purple, and the scarlet they made (into) garments
of ministry for Aaron, so that he should minister with them in the sanctuary;
33 And they
brought the garments and the
tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his furniture, its bases, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and
his sockets,
34 And the
covering of rams’ skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers’ skins, and the
vail of the covering,
35 The ark
of the testimony [of the covenant],
and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,
and the altar and all its furniture.
36 The table of shewbread, and all the vessels
thereof [all its furniture], and the
shewbread upon it,
37 The pure
candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order, lamps for burning, and all the vessels thereof,
and the oil for light,
38 And the
golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense of composition, and the pure
candlestick, and the hanging for the tabernacle door,
39 The
brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver
and his foot,
40 The
hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, the veil of the door of the tabernacle, and the hanging for the
court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of the service of the
tabernacle and all its instruments, for
the tent of the congregation: and the
skins, even rams' skins dyed red, and the blue coverings, and the coverings of
the other things, and the pins, and all the instruments for the works of the
tabernacle of witness.
41 The
cloths of service to do service in the holy place [the garments of the sanctuary], and the holy garments for Aaron
the priest, and his sons’ garments, to minister in the priest’s office.
42 According
to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the
work [all the furniture].
43 And Moses
did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the LORD had
commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
