39:1 And from the blue, purple and scarlet yarn they made woven garments for serving in the sanctuary; and they made holy garments that were for Aaron, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.¹

39:2 He made² the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and finely twined linen. 39:3 And they hammered the gold into thin sheets, and cut it into narrow strips, to weave³ them into the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and into the fine linen, the work of an artistic designer. 39:4 They made shoulder pieces for it, attached to two of its corners, so it could be joined together. 39:5 And its artistically woven waistband of the ephod which was on it was like it, of one piece with it,⁴ of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and of finely twined linen, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

39:6 And they set the onyx stones in gold filigree settings, engraved as with the engravings of a seal⁵ with the names of the sons of Israel.⁶ 39:7 And he put⁷ them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, stones of memorial for the sons of Israel, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

39:8 Then he made the pouch, the work of an artistic designer, after the manner of the ephod, of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and finely twined linen. 39:9 It was square—they made the pouch doubled, nine inches long and nine inches wide when doubled. 39:10 And they set on it⁸ four rows of stones: a row of a ruby, a topaz, and a beryl—the first row; 39:11 and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald; 39:12 and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; 39:13 and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in gold filigree settings. 39:14 And the stones were for the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to the number of⁹ their names, each name according to the twelve tribes was like the engraving of a seal.

39:15 And they made for the pouch braided chains like cords of pure gold. 39:16 And they made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings, and they attached the two rings to the upper¹⁰ two ends of the pouch. 39:17 And they attached the two gold chains to the rings at the ends of the pouch, 39:18 and the other¹¹ two ends of the two chains they attached to the two settings, and they attached them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front of it. 39:19 And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the other¹² two ends of the pouch on its edge, which is on the inner side of the ephod.¹³ 39:20 And they made two more¹⁴ gold rings and attached them to the bottom of the two shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod, close to the juncture above the waistband of the ephod. 39:21 And they tied the pouch by its rings to the rings of the ephod by blue cord, so that it was above the waistband of the ephod, so that the pouch would not be loose from the ephod, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

39:22 And he made the robe of the ephod completely blue, the work of a weaver. 39:23 And there was an opening in the center of the robe, like the opening of a collar, with an edge all around the opening so that it cannot be torn. 39:24 And they made around the hem of the robe pomegranates of blue and of purple and of scarlet yarn and twined linen.¹⁵ 39:25 And they made bells of pure gold, and attached the bells between the pomegranates around the hem of the robe between the pomegranates. 39:26 A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe, to be used in ministering,¹⁶ just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

39:27 And they made tunics of fine linen for Aaron and for his sons, the work of a weaver, 39:28 and the turban of fine linen, the linen headbands, and the undergarments of fine twined linen. 39:29 And the sash was of fine twined linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, the work of an embroiderer, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses. 39:30 And they made a plate, the holy diadem, of pure gold, and they wrote on it an inscription, after the fashion of the engravings of a seal, “Holiness to Yahweh.” 39:31 Then they attached to it a blue cord, to attach it to the turban above, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.

39:32 So all the work of the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, was completed. And the Israelites did according to all that Yahweh had commanded Moses—thus they did. 39:33 And they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its furnishings, its clasps, its frames, its bars, its posts, and its bases; 39:34 and the coverings of the rams’ skins dyed red, the covering of skins of sea cows, and the protecting¹⁸ veil; 39:35 the ark of the testimony, and its poles, and the propitiatory lid; 39:36 the table, all its utensils, and the bread of the Presence; 39:37 the pure¹⁹ lampstand, its lamps, even the lamps set in order, and all its accessories, and oil for the light; 39:38 and the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the fragrant incense; and the curtain for the entrance to the tent; 39:39 the bronze altar and its bronze grating, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin with its pedestal; 39:40 the hangings of the courtyard, its posts and its bases, and the curtain for the gateway of the courtyard, its ropes and its tent-pins, and all the furnishings²⁰ of the service of the tabernacle, for the Tent of Meeting; 39:41 the woven garments for serving²¹ in the sanctuary, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments for his sons to minister as priests.

39:42 According to all that Yahweh had commanded Moses, so the Israelites did all the work. 39:43 When Moses saw²² all the work, that²³ they had done it just as Yahweh had commanded—even so had they done it, he blessed them.²⁴
