The Priestly Garments

Now from the 1aviolet, purple, and scarlet material they made finely bwoven garments for ministering in the Holy Place, 2as well as the holy garments which were for Aaron, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

aHe made the ephod of gold and of violet, purple, and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen. Then they hammered out gold sheets and cut them into threads 1to be woven in with the violet, the purple, and the scarlet material, and the fine linen, the work of a skilled embroiderer. They made attaching shoulder pieces for 1the ephod; it was attached at its two upper ends. And the skillfully woven band of its overlay which was on it was like its workmanship, 1of the same material: of gold and of violet, purple, and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

aThey also 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. And ahe placed them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

And ahe made the breastpiece, the work of a skilled embroiderer, like the workmanship of the ephod: of gold and of violet, purple, and scarlet material and fine twisted linen. It was square; they made the breastpiece folded double, a 1span 2long and a span 3wide when folded double. 10 And they 1mounted four rows of stones on it. The first row was a row of ruby, topaz, and emerald; 11 and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond; 12 and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; 13 and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were set in gold filigree settings when they were 1mounted. 14 The stones corresponded 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. 15 And they made for the breastpiece chains like cords, work of twisted cords of pure gold. 16 They made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastpiece. 17 Then they put the two gold cords in the two rings at the ends of the breastpiece. 18 And 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. 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. 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. 21 And they bound the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a violet 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.

22 aThen he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of violet; 23 aand 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. 24 And they made pomegranates of violet, purple, and scarlet material and twisted linen on the hem of the robe. 25 They also made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates all around on the hem of the 1robe, 26 1alternating a bell and a pomegranate all around on the hem of the robe for the service, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

27 aThey also made the tunics of finely woven linen for Aaron and his sons, 28 and the turban of fine linen, and the decorated 1caps of fine linen, and the linen undergarments of fine twisted linen, 29 and the sash of fine twisted linen, and violet, purple, and scarlet material, the work of the 1weaver, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

30 aThey also made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and 1inscribed it like the engravings of a signet, “Holy to the LORD.” 31 Then they 1fastened a violet cord to it, to 2fasten it on the turban above, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

32 So all the work of the 1tabernacle 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. 33 Then they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its 1furnishings: its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its bases; 34 and the covering of rams’ skins 1dyed red, and the covering of 2fine leather, and the covering curtain; 35 the ark of the testimony, its poles, and the 1atoning cover; 36 the table, all its utensils, and the bread of the 1Presence; 37 the pure gold lampstand, 1with its arrangement of lamps and all its utensils, and the oil for the light; 38 and the gold altar, and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the curtain for the doorway of the tent; 39 the 1bronze altar and its 2bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils, the basin and its stand; 40 the hangings for the courtyard, its pillars and its bases, and the curtain for the gate of the courtyard, its ropes and its pegs, and all the 1equipment for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting; 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 serve as priests. 42 So the sons of Israel did all the work according to everything that the LORD had commanded Moses. 43 And Moses 1examined all the work, and behold, they had done it; just as the LORD had commanded, this they had done. So Moses ablessed them.

Making the Holy Garments

Moreover, from the 1ablue and purple and scarlet material, they made finely bwoven garments for ministering in the holy place 2as well as the holy garments which were for Aaron, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

aHe made the ephod of gold, and of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen. Then they hammered out gold sheets and cut them into threads 1to be woven in with the blue and the purple and the scarlet material and the fine linen, the work of a skillful designer. They made joining shoulder pieces for 1the ephod; it was joined at its two upper ends. The skillfully woven band which was on it was like its workmanship, 1of the same material: of gold, and of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

aThey made the onyx stones, set all around in filigree settings of gold; they were engraved like the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the sons of Israel. And ahe placed them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, as stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

aHe made the breastpiece, the work of a skillful designer, like the workmanship of the ephod: of gold, and of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen. It was square; they made the breastpiece, having been folded double, a 1span 2long and a span 3wide when folded double. 10 And they 1mounted four rows of stones on it. The first row was a row of ruby, topaz, and emerald; 11 and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond; 12 and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; 13 and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were set in their filigree settings with gold filigree. 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. 15 They made on the breastpiece chains of a twisted work of cords in pure gold. 16 They made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastpiece. 17 Then they put the two gold cords in the two rings at the ends of the breastpiece. 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. 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. 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 skillfully woven band of the ephod. 21 They bound the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue cord, so that it would be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastpiece would not come loose from the ephod, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

22 aThen he made the robe of the ephod of woven work entirely of blue; 23 aand 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. 24 They made pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet material and twisted linen on the hem of the robe. 25 They also made bells of pure gold and put the bells between the pomegranates all around on the hem of the 1robe, 26 1alternating a bell and a pomegranate all around on the hem of the robe for the ministry, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

27 aThey made the tunics of finely woven linen for Aaron and his sons, 28 and the turban of fine linen, and the headdresses of the 1caps of fine linen, and the linen undergarments of fine twisted linen, 29 and the sash of fine twisted linen, and blue and purple and scarlet material, the work of the 1weaver, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

30 aThey made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold and 1wrote upon it with engraved writing as found on a signet, “Holy to Yahweh.” 31 They 1fastened a blue cord to it, to 2fasten it on the turban above, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

32 Thus all the service of constructing the 1tabernacle of the tent of meeting was acompleted; and the sons of Israel did according to all that Yahweh had commanded Moses; so they did. 33 They brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its 1furnishings: its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars and its bases; 34 and the covering of rams’ skins 1dyed red, and the covering of porpoise skins, and the screening veil; 35 the ark of the testimony and its poles and the 1mercy seat; 36 the table, all its utensils, and the bread of the 1Presence; 37 the pure gold lampstand, 1with its arrangement of lamps and all its utensils, and the oil for the light; 38 and the gold altar, and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the veil for the doorway of the tent; 39 the 1bronze altar and its 2bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils, the laver and its stand; 40 the hangings for the court, its pillars and its bases, and the screen for the gate of the court, its cords and its pegs, and all the 1equipment for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting; 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. 42 Thus, according to all that Yahweh had commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel did in all their service. 43 And Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it; just as Yahweh had commanded, so they had done. Then Moses ablessed them.

The Priestly Garments

Moreover, from the ablue and purple and scarlet fabric, they made finely bwoven garments for serving and ministering in the Holy Place; they made the holy garments for Aaron, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

aBezalel made the ephod of gold, and of blue, purple, and scarlet fabric, and fine twisted linen. Then Bezalel and Oholiab hammered the gold into thin sheets and cut it into threads to work into the blue, purple, and scarlet fabric, and into the fine linen, the work of a skilled craftsman. They made attaching shoulder pieces for the ephod; it was attached at its two upper edges. The skillfully woven sash with which to bind it, which was on the ephod to hold it in place, was like its workmanship, of the same material: of gold and of blue, purple, and scarlet fabric, and fine twisted linen, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

And ahe put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod to be memorial stones (a remembrance) for the sons of Israel (Jacob) , just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

aBezalel made the breastpiece, the work of a skillful craftsman, like the workmanship of the ephod: of gold and of blue, purple, and scarlet fabric, and fine twisted linen. It was square; they made the breastpiece folded double, a hand’s span long and a hand’s span wide when folded double. 10 And they mounted four rows of stones on it.

22 aThen Bezalel made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue; 23 there was aan opening for the head in the middle of the robe, like the opening in a coat of armor, with a hem around it, so that it would not be frayed or torn. 24 On the hem of the robe they made pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet fabric, and fine twisted linen. 25 They also made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates around the hem of the robe; 26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all the way around the hem of the robe, for service and ministering, just as the LORD commanded Moses.

32 Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting was finished; and the Israelites did according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses; that is what they did. 33 They brought the tabernacle to Moses for him to inspect: the tent and all its furnishings, its hooks, its frame boards, its bars, its support poles, its sockets or bases; 34 and the covering of rams’ skins dyed red, and the covering of 1porpoise skins, and the veil (partition) of the screen (curtain) ; 35 the ark of the Testimony, its carrying poles and the mercy seat; 36 the table and all its utensils and the bread of the Presence (showbread) ; 37 the pure gold lampstand and its lamps, with the lamps placed in order, all its utensils, and the oil for the light; 38 the golden altar of incense, the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the hanging veil for the doorway of the tent; 39 the bronze altar of burnt offering and its grating of bronze, its poles and all its utensils, the basin and its base; 40 the curtains of the courtyard, its support poles and sockets, and the screen (curtain) for the courtyard gate, its cords and pegs, and all the utensils for the service of the tabernacle, for the Tent of Meeting of God with His people; Ex 29:42, 43 41 the finely woven garments for serving and ministering in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons to minister as priests. 42 So the Israelites did all the work according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses. 43 And Moses carefully inspected all the work, and behold, they had done it; just as the LORD had commanded, so had they done it. So Moses ablessed them.
