Exodus 39 — ULB

39Verse 1With the blue, purple, and scarlet wool, they made finely-woven garments for service in the holy place. They made Aaron's garments for the holy place, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.^{Verse 2}Bezalel made the ephod of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet wool, and of fine twined linen.^{Verse 3}They hammered gold sheets and cut them into wires, to work them into the blue, purple, and scarlet wool, and into the fine linen, the work of a skillful workman.^{Verse 4}They made shoulder pieces for the ephod, attached at its two upper corners.^{Verse 5}Its finely-woven waistband was like the ephod; it was made of one piece with the ephod, made of fine twined linen that was gold, blue, purple, and scarlet, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses.^{Verse 6}They crafted the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold, set with engravings as on a signet, and engraved with the names of Israel's twelve sons.^{Verse 7}Bezalel put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, as stones to remind Yahweh of Israel's twelve sons, as Yahweh had commanded Moses.^{Verse 8}He made the breastpiece, the work of a skillful workman, fashioned like the ephod. He made it of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet wool, and of fine linen.^{Verse 9}It was square. They folded the breastpiece double. It was one span long and one span wide.^{Verse 10}They set in it four rows of precious stones. The first row had a ruby, a topaz, and a garnet.^{Verse 11}The second row had an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.^{Verse 12}The third row had a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst.^{Verse 13}The fourth row had a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. The stones were mounted in gold settings.^{Verse 14}The stones were arranged by the names of Israel's twelve sons, each in order by name. They were like the engraving on a signet ring, each name standing for one of the twelve tribes.^{Verse 15}On the breastpiece they made chains like cords, braided work of pure gold.^{Verse 16}They made two settings of gold and two gold rings, and they attached the two rings to the two corners of the breastpiece.^{Verse 17}They put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings at the corners of the breastpiece.^{Verse 18}They attached the other two ends of the braided chains to the two settings. They attached them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at its front.^{Verse 19}They made two rings of gold and put them on the two other corners of the breastpiece, on the edge next to the inner border.^{Verse 20}They made two more gold rings and attached them to the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the front of the ephod, close to its seam above the finely-woven waistband of the ephod.^{Verse 21}They tied the breastpiece by its rings to the ephod's rings with a blue cord, so that it might be attached just above the ephod's finely-woven waistband. This was so that the breastpiece might not become unattached from the ephod. This was done as Yahweh had commanded Moses.^{Verse 22}Bezalel made the robe of the ephod entirely of blue fabric, the work of a weaver.^{Verse 23}It had an opening for the head in the middle. The opening had a woven edge round about so that it did not tear.^{Verse 24}On the bottom hem, they made pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and of fine linen.^{Verse 25}They made bells of pure gold, and they put the bells between the pomegranates all around on the bottom edge the robe, between the pomegranates—^{Verse 26}a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate—on the edge of the robe for Aaron to serve in. This was as Yahweh had commanded Moses.^{Verse 27}They made the coats of fine linen for Aaron and for his sons.^{Verse 28}They made the turban of fine linen, the ornate headbands of fine linen, the linen undergarments of fine linen,^{Verse 29}and the sash of fine linen and of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, the work of an embroiderer. This was as Yahweh had commanded Moses.^{Verse 30}They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold; they engraved on it, like the engraving on a signet, “Holy to Yahweh.”^{Verse 31}They attached to the turban a blue cord to the top of the turban. This was as Yahweh had commanded Moses.^{Verse 32}So the work on the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, was finished. The people of Israel did everything. They followed all the instructions that Yahweh had given to Moses.^{Verse 33}They brought the tabernacle to Moses—the tent and all its equipment, its clasps, frames, bars, posts, and bases;^{Verse 34}the covering of ram skins dyed red, the covering of sea cow leather, and the curtain to conceal^{Verse 35}the ark of the testimony, as well as the poles and the atonement lid.^{Verse 36}They brought the table, all its utensils, and the bread of the presence;^{Verse 37}the lampstand of pure gold and its lamps in a row, with its accessories and the oil for the lamps;^{Verse 38}the golden altar, the anointing oil and the fragrant incense; the hanging for the tabernacle entrance;^{Verse 39}the bronze altar with its bronze grate and its poles and utensil and the large basin with its base.^{Verse 40}They brought the hangings for the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the courtyard entrance; its ropes and tent pegs; and all the equipment for the service of the tabernacle, the tent of meeting.^{Verse 41}They brought the fine woven garments for serving in the holy place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest and his sons, for them to serve as priests.^{Verse 42}Thus the people of Israel did all the work as Yahweh had commanded Moses.^{Verse 43}Moses examined all the work, and, behold, they had done it. As Yahweh had commanded, in that way they did it. Then Moses blessed them.
