1 Moreover, from the blue and purple and scarletmaterial,they made finely woven garments for ministering in the holy place as well as the holy garments which were for Aaron, just as the Lordhad commanded Moses.
2 He made the ephod of gold,andof blue and purple and scarletmaterial,and fine twisted linen.
3 Then they hammered out gold sheets and cuttheminto threads to be woven inwiththe blue and the purple and the scarletmaterial,and the fine linen, the work of a skillful workman.
4 They made attaching shoulder pieces for the ephod; it was attached at its twoupperends.
5 The skillfully woven band which was on it was like its workmanship, of the same material: of goldandof blue and purple and scarletmaterial,and fine twisted linen, just as the Lordhad commanded Moses.
6 They made the onyx stones, set in gold filigreesettings;they were engravedlikethe engravings of a signet, according to the names of the sons of Israel.
7 And he placed them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod,asmemorial stones for the sons of Israel, just as the Lordhad commanded Moses.
8 He made the breastpiece, the work of a skillful workman, like the workmanship of the ephod: of goldandof blue and purple and scarletmaterialand fine twisted linen.
9 It was square; they made the breastpiece folded double, a span long and a span wide when folded double.
10 And they mounted four rows of stones on it. The first rowwasa 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 filigreesettingswhen they were mounted.
14 The stones were corresponding to the names of the sons of Israel; they were twelve, corresponding to their names,engraved withthe engravings of a signet, each with its name for the twelve tribes.
15 They made on the breastpiece chains like cords, of twisted cordage work in pure gold.
16 They made two gold filigreesettingsand 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 theothertwo ends of the two cords on the two filigreesettings,and put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front of it.
19 They made two gold rings and placedthemon 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 They bound the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue 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 Lordhad commanded Moses.
22 Then he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue;
23 and the opening of the robe wasat the topin 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 scarletmaterial andtwistedlinenon 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 robe,
26 alternating a bell and a pomegranate all around on the hem of the robe for the service, just as the Lordhad commanded Moses.
27 They made the tunics of finely woven linen for Aaron and his sons,
28 and the turban of fine linen, and the decorated caps of fine linen, and the linen breeches of fine twisted linen,
29 and the sash of fine twisted linen, and blue and purple and scarletmaterial,the work of the weaver, just as the Lordhad commanded Moses.
30 They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and inscribed it like the engravings of a signet, “Holy to the Lord.”
31 They fastened a blue cord to it, to fasten it on the turban above, just as the Lordhad commanded Moses.
32 Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was completed; and the sons of Israel did according to all that the Lordhad commanded Moses; so they did.
33 They brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all itsfurnishings: its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars and its sockets;

35 the ark of the testimony and its poles and the mercy seat;
36 the table, all its utensils, and the bread of the Presence;
37 the puregoldlampstand, with 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;
