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.
2 And
he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet,
and fine twined linen.
3 And
they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires,
to work it in the
blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with cunning
work.
4 They
made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it
coupled together.
5 And
the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of
the same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet,
and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.
6 And
they wrought onyx stones 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 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 of cunning work, like the work of the
ephod; of gold,
blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9 It
was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the
length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.
10 And
they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle:
this was the
first row.
11 And
the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
12 And
the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
13 And
the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: 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 chains at the ends, of wreathen
work of pure
gold.
16 And
they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the
two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.
17 And
they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the
breastplate.
18 And
the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches, 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,
upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward.
20 And
they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two
sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling
thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.
21 And
they did bind the breastplate 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, and that
the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded
Moses.
22 And
he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
23 And there was an
hole in the midst of the robe, 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 pomegranates of blue,
and purple, and scarlet, and 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 of fine linen of woven
work for Aaron, and for his sons,
28 And
a mitre of fine
linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine
twined linen,
29 And
a girdle of fine
twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework;
as the LORD commanded Moses.
30 And
they made the plate of the holy crown 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, 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.
33 And
they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his furniture, 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, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,
36 The
table, and all
the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,
37 The
pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the
lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,
38 And
the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, 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, and the hanging for the
court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of the service of the
tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,
41 The
cloths of service to do service in the holy place, 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.
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.
