1And he made, of violet and purple, scarlet and fine linen, the vestments for Aaron to wear when he ministered in the holy places, as the Lord commanded Moses.Select Exodus 39:1

2So he made an ephod of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen,Select Exodus 39:2

3With embroidered work, and he cut thin plates of gold, and drew them small into threads, that they might be twisted with the woof of the foresaid colours,Select Exodus 39:3

4And two borders coupled one to the other in the top on either side,Select Exodus 39:4

5And a girdle of the same colours, as the Lord had commanded Moses.Select Exodus 39:5

6He prepared also two onyx stones, fast set and closed in gold, and graven, by the art of a lapidary, with the names of the children of Israel:Select Exodus 39:6

7And he set them in the sides of the ephod, for a memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses.Select Exodus 39:7

8He made also a rational with embroidered work, according to the work of the ephod, of gold, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen:Select Exodus 39:8

9Foursquare, double, of the measure of a span.Select Exodus 39:9

10And he set four rows of precious stones in it. In the first row was a sardius, a topaz, an emerald.Select Exodus 39:10

11In the second, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a jasper.Select Exodus 39:11

12In the third, a ligurius, an agate, and an amethyst.Select Exodus 39:12

13In the fourth, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl, set and enclosed in gold by their rows.Select Exodus 39:13

14And the twelve stones, were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, each one with its several name.Select Exodus 39:14

15They made also in the rational little chains, linked one to another, of the purest gold,Select Exodus 39:15

16And two hooks, and as many rings of gold. And they set the rings on either side of the rational,Select Exodus 39:16

17On which rings the two golden chains should hang, which they put into the hooks that stood out in the corners of the ephod.Select Exodus 39:17

18These both before and behind so answered one another, that the ephod and the rational were bound together,Select Exodus 39:18

19Being fastened to the girdle, and strongly coupled with rings, which a violet fillet joined, lest they should flag loose, and be moved one from the other, as the Lord commanded Moses.Select Exodus 39:19

20They made also the tunic of the ephod all of violet,Select Exodus 39:20

21And a hole for the head in the upper part at the middle, and a woven border round about the hole:Select Exodus 39:21

22And beneath at the feet pomegranates of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen:Select Exodus 39:22

23And little bells of the purest gold, which they put between the pomegranates at the bottom of the tunic round about:Select Exodus 39:23

24To wit, a bell of gold, and a pomegranate, wherewith the high priest went adorned, when he discharged his ministry, as the Lord had commanded Moses.Select Exodus 39:24

25They made also fine linen tunics with woven work for Aaron and his sons:Select Exodus 39:25

26And mitres with their little crowns of fine linen:Select Exodus 39:26

27And linen breeches of fine linen:Select Exodus 39:27

28And a girdle of fine twisted linen, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, of embroidery work, as the Lord had commanded Moses.Select Exodus 39:28

29They made also the plate of sacred veneration of the purest gold, and they wrote on it with the engraving of a lapidary: The Holy of the Lord:Select Exodus 39:29

30And they fastened it to the mitre with a violet fillet, as the Lord had commanded Moses.Select Exodus 39:30

31So all the work of the tabernacle and of the roof of the testimony was finished: and the children of Israel did all things which the Lord had commanded Moses.Select Exodus 39:31

32And they offered the tabernacle, and the roof, and the whole furniture, the rings, the boards, the bars, the pillars and their sockets,Select Exodus 39:32

33The cover of rams' skins dyed red, and the other cover of violet skins,Select Exodus 39:33

34The veil, the ark, the bars, the propitiatory,Select Exodus 39:34

35The table, with the vessels thereof, and the loaves of proposition:Select Exodus 39:35

36The candlestick, the lamps, and the furniture of them, with the oil:Select Exodus 39:36

37The altar of gold, and the ointment, and the incense of spices:Select Exodus 39:37

38And the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle:Select Exodus 39:38

39The altar of brass, the grate, the bars, and all the vessels thereof: the laver, with the foot thereof: the hangings of the court, and the pillars, with their sockets:Select Exodus 39:39

40The hanging in the entry of the court, and the little cords, and the pins thereof. Nothing was wanting of the vessels, that were commanded to be made for the ministry of the tabernacle, and for the roof of the covenant.Select Exodus 39:40

41The vestments also, which the priests, to wit, Aaron and his sons, use in the sanctuary,Select Exodus 39:41

42The children of Israel offered, as the Lord had commanded.Select Exodus 39:42

43And when Moses saw all things finished, he blessed them.Select Exodus 39:43
