¹And from the blue and purple and scarlet material they made the garments of office so as to serve in the holy place, and they made the holy garments which were for Aaron, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ²And they made the ephod from gold, and from blue and purple and scarlet material and from fine twined linen. ³And they beat the plates of gold thin, and they cut lengths of thread to work into the blue material, and into the purple material, and into the scarlet material, and into the fine linen. It was the work of a damask weaver. ⁴They made joined up shoulder-pieces for it. At its two ends it was joined up. ⁵And they made the embroidered belt of his ephod with which it went, with similar workmanship to it, of gold, and of blue and purple and scarlet thread and fine twined linen, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ⁶And they made the onyx gemstones enclosed in golden bezels, engraved with the engravings of a signet, with the names of the sons of Israel. ⁷And he put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, as memorial gemstones to the sons of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ⁸And he made the breastplate, the work of a damask weaver, like the workmanship of the ephod, in gold and blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twined linen. ⁹It was square; they made the breastplate double. Its length was a span, and its width was a span, folded double. ¹⁰And they set four rows of gemstones in it: a row of ruby, topaz and emerald. That was the first row. ¹¹And the second row consisted of chrysoprase, sapphire and diamond. ¹²And the third row consisted of ligure, agate and amethyst. ¹³And the fourth row consisted of chrysolite, onyx and jasper, enclosed in golden bezels for setting them. ¹⁴And the gemstones were with the names of the sons of Israel – twelve of them with their names – the engravings being as on a signet, each one with its name for the twelve tribes. ¹⁵And they made edging chains on the breastplate – wreathed work of pure gold. ¹⁶And they made two golden insets, and two golden rings, and they put the two rings at the two ends of the breastplate, ¹⁷and they put the two golden wreaths on the two rings at the ends of the breastplate. ¹⁸And they put the two ends – the two wreaths – on the two insets, and they put them on the shoulders of the ephod on the front of it. ¹⁹And they made two golden rings, and they put them on the two ends of the breastplate on its edge which was on the side of the ephod facing inwards. ²⁰And they made two golden rings, and they put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, at the front of it, opposite its join, above the embroidered belt of the ephod. ²¹And they bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a thread of blue yarn so that it was above the embroidered belt of the ephod and so that the breastplate would not become displaced from the ephod, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ²²And he made the robe of the ephod – the workmanship of a weaver – entirely from blue material. ²³And the opening of the robe in the middle of it was like the opening of a coat of mail, with a hem to the opening all around, so that it would not tear. ²⁴And at the edges of the robe they made pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet thread, finely twined. ²⁵And they made bells of pure gold, and they put the bells inside the pomegranates on the edges of the robe all around inside the pomegranates. ²⁶A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate on the edges of the robe all around, to serve with, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ²⁷And they made the tunics of fine linen – the workmanship of a weaver – for Aaron and his sons, ²⁸and the turban of fine linen, and the ornamental high headgear of fine linen, and the linen trousers of fine twined linen, ²⁹and the girdle of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet material – the workmanship of an embroiderer – as the Lord had commanded Moses. ³⁰And they made the shining plate of the holy crown, of pure gold, and they wrote on it in the engraved writing of a signet, “Holiness to the Lord”. ³¹And they put a blue thread on it to go on the turban, high up, as the Lord had commanded Moses. ³²And all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of contact was finished, and the sons of Israel made it according to everything that the Lord had commanded Moses – so they made it. ³³And they brought the tabernacle to Moses – the tent and all its equipment – its clasps, its boards, its bolts, and its columns and its sockets, ³⁴and its covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins and the screening veil, ³⁵the ark of the testimony and its poles and the atonement cover, ³⁶the table and all its equipment, and the showbread, ³⁷the pure lampstand and its lamps – lamps in their arrangement – and all its equipment and oil for the light, ³⁸and the golden altar and anointing oil, and the aromatic incense, and the screen at the entrance to the tent, ³⁹the copper altar and the copper grate which belongs to it, its poles and all its equipment, and the laver and its pedestal, ⁴⁰the drapes for the courtyard, its columns and its sockets, and the screen to the gate of the courtyard, and its guylines and its pegs and all the equipment for the work of the tabernacle for the tent of contact, ⁴¹the garments of office so as to serve in the holy place – the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to officiate as priests. ⁴²The sons of Israel did all the work according to everything that the Lord had commanded Moses. ⁴³And Moses saw all the artisanry, and the result was that they had made it as the Lord had commanded – so they had made it. And Moses blessed them.
