Exodus - Chapter 39

	Exd 39:1	Moreover, from the [fn]blue and purple and scarlet material, they made finely woven garments for ministering in the holy place [fn]as well as the holy garments which were for Aaron, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
	Exd 39:2	He made the ephod of gold, and of [fn]blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen.
	Exd 39:3	Then they hammered out gold sheets and cut them into threads [fn]to be woven in with the [fn]blue and the purple and the scarlet material, and the fine linen, the work of a skillful workman.
	Exd 39:4	They made attaching shoulder pieces for [fn]the ephod; it was attached at its two upper ends.
	Exd 39:5	The skillfully woven band which was on it was like its workmanship, [fn]of the same material: of gold and of [fn]blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
	Exd 39:6	They made the onyx stones, set in gold filigree settings; they were engraved like the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the sons of Israel.
	Exd 39:7	And he placed them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, as memorial stones for the sons of Israel, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
	Exd 39:8	He made the breastpiece, the work of a skillful workman, like the workmanship of the ephod: of gold and of [fn]blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen.
	Exd 39:9	It was square; they made the breastpiece folded double, a span [fn]long and a span [fn]wide when folded double.
	Exd 39:10	And they [fn]mounted four rows of stones on it. The first row was a row of ruby, topaz, and emerald;
	Exd 39:11	and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire and a diamond;
	Exd 39:12	and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
	Exd 39:13	and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were set in gold filigree settings when they were [fn]mounted.
	Exd 39:14	The stones were corresponding to the names of the sons of Israel; they were twelve, corresponding to their names, engraved with the engravings of a signet, each with its name for the twelve tribes.
	Exd 39:15	They made on the breastpiece chains like cords, of twisted cordage work in pure gold.
	Exd 39:16	They made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastpiece.
	Exd 39:17	Then they put the two gold cords in the two rings at the ends of the breastpiece.
	Exd 39:18	They put the other two ends of the two cords on the two filigree settings, and put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front of it.
	Exd 39:19	They made two gold rings and placed them on the two ends of the breastpiece, on its inner edge which was next to the ephod.
	Exd 39:20	Furthermore, they made two gold rings and placed them on the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, on the front of it, close to the place where it joined, above the woven band of the ephod.
	Exd 39:21	They bound the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a [fn]blue cord, so that it would be on the woven band of the ephod, and that the breastpiece would not come loose from the ephod, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
	Exd 39:22	Then he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of [fn]blue;
	Exd 39:23	and the opening of the robe was at the top in the center, as the opening of a coat of mail, with a binding all around its opening, so that it would not be torn.
	Exd 39:24	They made pomegranates of [fn]blue and purple and scarlet material and twisted linen on the hem of the robe.
	Exd 39:25	They also made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates all around on the hem of the [fn]robe,
	Exd 39:26	[fn]alternating a bell and a pomegranate all around on the hem of the robe for the service, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
	Exd 39:27	They made the tunics of finely woven linen for Aaron and his sons,
	Exd 39:28	and the turban of fine linen, and the decorated [fn]caps of fine linen, and the linen breeches of fine twisted linen,
	Exd 39:29	and the sash of fine twisted linen, and [fn]blue and purple and scarlet material, the work of the [fn]weaver, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
	Exd 39:30	They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and [fn]inscribed it like the engravings of a signet, "Holy to the LORD."
	Exd 39:31	They [fn]fastened a [fn]blue cord to it, to [fn]fasten it on the turban above, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
	Exd 39:32	Thus all the work of the [fn]tabernacle of the tent of meeting was completed; and the sons of Israel did according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses; so they did.
	Exd 39:33	They brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its [fn]furnishings: its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars and its [fn]sockets;
	Exd 39:34	and the covering of rams' skins [fn]dyed red, and the covering of porpoise skins, and the screening veil;
	Exd 39:35	the ark of the testimony and its poles and the [fn]mercy seat;
	Exd 39:36	the table, all its utensils, and the bread of the [fn]Presence;
	Exd 39:37	the pure gold lampstand, [fn]with its arrangement of lamps and all its utensils, and the oil for the light;
	Exd 39:38	and the gold altar, and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the veil for the doorway of the tent;
	Exd 39:39	the [fn]bronze altar and its [fn]bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils, the laver and its stand;
	Exd 39:40	the hangings for the court, its pillars and its [fn]sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court, its cords and its pegs and all the [fn]equipment for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;
	Exd 39:41	the woven garments for ministering in the holy place and the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to minister as priests.
	Exd 39:42	So the sons of Israel did all the work according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses.
	Exd 39:43	And Moses [fn]examined all the work and behold, they had done it; just as the LORD had commanded, this they had done. So Moses blessed them.
