1From the blue, purple, and scarlet cloth they made finely worked garments for serving in the holy place. They also made the holy garments for Aaron, as the LORD commanded Moses.
2He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine twisted linen.
3They beat the gold into thin plates and cut it into wires, to work it into the blue, the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen, with skilful work.
4They made shoulder pieces for it, to join it together. It was joined together at its two edges.
5The skilfully woven band on the ephod was made of the same materials and in the same way: of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine twisted linen, as the LORD commanded Moses.
6They worked the onyx stones, set in gold settings, and engraved them as a seal is engraved, with the names of the children of Israel.
7He put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, to be stones of remembrance for the children of Israel, as the LORD commanded Moses.
8He made the breastplate with skilful work, like the work of the ephod: of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine twisted linen.
9It was square. They made the breastplate double, a span long and a span wide, when folded double.
10They set in it four rows of stones. The first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle; this was the first row.
11The second row was an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
12The third row was a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
13The fourth row was a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were set in gold settings.
14The stones matched the names of the children of Israel. There were twelve of them, one for each name, engraved like a seal, each one with its name, for the twelve tribes.
15On the breastplate they made chains at the ends, twisted like cords, of pure gold.
16They made two gold settings and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
17They put the two twisted gold chains in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.
18The two ends of the two twisted chains they fastened to the two settings, and put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, at the front.
19They made two gold rings and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its edge, on the inner side next to the ephod.
20They made two more gold rings and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, at the front, close to where it is joined, above the skilfully woven band of the ephod.
21They tied the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue cord, so that it would sit above the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and so that the breastplate would not come loose from the ephod, as the LORD commanded Moses.
22He made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
23There was an opening in the middle of the robe, like the opening in a coat of armour, with a border round the opening, so that it would not tear.
24On the hems of the robe they made pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet, and twisted linen.
25They made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates on the hem of the robe, all round between the pomegranates:
26a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all round the hem of the robe for serving in, as the LORD commanded Moses.
27They made coats of fine linen, woven, for Aaron and for his sons,
28and a turban of fine linen, and beautiful headdresses of fine linen, and linen trousers of fine twisted linen,
29and a sash of fine twisted linen, and blue, purple, and scarlet, embroidered, as the LORD commanded Moses.
30They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote on it, engraved like a seal, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
31They tied a blue cord to it, to fasten it high on the turban, as the LORD commanded Moses.
32So all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was finished. The children of Israel did everything just as the LORD commanded Moses; so they did.
33They brought the tabernacle to Moses: the tent and all its equipment, its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets;
34the covering of rams' skins dyed red, the covering of badgers' skins, and the veil that screens;
35the ark of the testimony with its poles, and the mercy seat;
36the table and all its vessels, and the showbread;
37the pure lampstand with its lamps, the lamps set in order, and all its vessels, and the oil for the light;
38the golden altar, the anointing oil, the sweet incense, and the curtain for the door of the tabernacle;
39the bronze altar with its bronze grating, its poles and all its vessels, the basin and its base;
40the hangings of the court, its pillars and its sockets, the curtain for the gate of the court, its cords and its pegs, and all the vessels for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;
41the finely worked garments for serving in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, for serving as priests.
42The children of Israel did all the work just as the LORD commanded Moses.
43Moses looked at all the work, and saw that they had done it as the LORD had commanded; they had done exactly so. And Moses blessed them.
