The Priestly Garments

(Exo 28:1–43 )

Exo 39:1

Exo 39:1Moreover, from the [fn]blue and purple and scarlet material, they made finely woven garments for ministering in the holy place [fn]as well as the holy garments which were for Aaron, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Exo 39:2

Exo 39:2He made the ephod of gold, and of [fn]blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen.

Exo 39:3

Exo 39:3Then they hammered out gold sheets and cut them into threads [fn]to be woven in with the [fn]blue and the purple and the scarlet material, and the fine linen, the work of a skillful workman.

Exo 39:4

Exo 39:4They made attaching shoulder pieces for [fn]the ephod; it was attached at its two upper ends.

Exo 39:5

Exo 39:5The skillfully woven band which was on it was like its workmanship, [fn]of the same material: of gold and of [fn]blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Exo 39:6

Exo 39:6They 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.

Exo 39:7

Exo 39:7And he placed them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, as memorial stones for the sons of Israel, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Exo 39:8

Exo 39:8He made the breastpiece, the work of a skillful workman, like the workmanship of the ephod: of gold and of [fn]blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen.

Exo 39:9

Exo 39:9It was square; they made the breastpiece folded double, a span [fn]long and a span [fn]wide when folded double.

Exo 39:10

Exo 39:10And they [fn]mounted four rows of stones on it. The first row was a row of ruby, topaz, and emerald;

Exo 39:11

Exo 39:11and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire and a diamond;

Exo 39:12

Exo 39:12and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

Exo 39:13

Exo 39:13and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were set in gold filigree settings when they were [fn]mounted.

Exo 39:14

Exo 39:14The 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.

Exo 39:15

Exo 39:15They made on the breastpiece chains like cords, of twisted cordage work in pure gold.

Exo 39:16

Exo 39:16They made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastpiece.

Exo 39:17

Exo 39:17Then they put the two gold cords in the two rings at the ends of the breastpiece.

Exo 39:18

Exo 39:18They 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.

Exo 39:19

Exo 39:19They made two gold rings and placed them on the two ends of the breastpiece, on its inner edge which was next to the ephod.

Exo 39:20

Exo 39:20Furthermore, 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.

Exo 39:21

Exo 39:21They bound the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a [fn]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 LORD had commanded Moses.

Exo 39:22

Exo 39:22Then he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of [fn]blue;

Exo 39:23

Exo 39:23and 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.

Exo 39:24

Exo 39:24They made pomegranates of [fn]blue and purple and scarlet material and twisted linen on the hem of the robe.

Exo 39:25

Exo 39:25They also made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates all around on the hem of the [fn]robe,

Exo 39:26

Exo 39:26[fn]alternating a bell and a pomegranate all around on the hem of the robe for the service, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Exo 39:27

Exo 39:27They made the tunics of finely woven linen for Aaron and his sons,

Exo 39:28

Exo 39:28and the turban of fine linen, and the decorated [fn]caps of fine linen, and the linen breeches of fine twisted linen,

Exo 39:29

Exo 39:29and the sash of fine twisted linen, and [fn]blue and purple and scarlet material, the work of the [fn]weaver, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Exo 39:30

Exo 39:30They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and [fn]inscribed it like the engravings of a signet, “Holy to the LORD.”

Exo 39:31

Exo 39:31They [fn]fastened a [fn]blue cord to it, to [fn]fasten it on the turban above, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

Exo 39:32

Exo 39:32Thus all the work of the [fn]tabernacle 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.

Exo 39:33

Exo 39:33They brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its [fn]furnishings: its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars and its [fn]sockets;

Exo 39:34

Exo 39:34and the covering of rams’ skins [fn]dyed red, and the covering of porpoise skins, and the screening veil;

Exo 39:35

Exo 39:35the ark of the testimony and its poles and the [fn]mercy seat;

Exo 39:36

Exo 39:36the table, all its utensils, and the bread of the [fn]Presence;

Exo 39:37

Exo 39:37the pure gold lampstand, [fn]with its arrangement of lamps and all its utensils, and the oil for the light;

Exo 39:38

Exo 39:38and the gold altar, and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the veil for the doorway of the tent;

Exo 39:39

Exo 39:39the [fn]bronze altar and its [fn]bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils, the laver and its stand;

Exo 39:40

Exo 39:40the hangings for the court, its pillars and its [fn]sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court, its cords and its pegs and all the [fn]equipment for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;

Exo 39:41

Exo 39:41the 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.

Exo 39:42

Exo 39:42So the sons of Israel did all the work according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses.

Exo 39:43

Exo 39:43And Moses [fn]examined all the work and behold, they had done it; just as the LORD had commanded, this they had done. So Moses blessed them.
