And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with cunning work.

They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.

And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.

And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.

And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.

And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.

And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathed work of pure gold.

And they put the two wreathed chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.

And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.
WhatsApp Copy
21
And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.
WhatsApp Copy
22
And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
WhatsApp Copy
23
And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.
WhatsApp Copy
24
And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.
WhatsApp Copy
25
And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;
WhatsApp Copy
26
A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.
WhatsApp Copy
27
And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,
WhatsApp Copy
28
And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,
WhatsApp Copy
29
And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.
WhatsApp Copy
30
And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.

And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the vail of the covering,
WhatsApp Copy
35
The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,
WhatsApp Copy
36
The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the showbread,
WhatsApp Copy
37
The pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,
WhatsApp Copy
38
And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door,
WhatsApp Copy
39
The brazen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,
WhatsApp Copy

The hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, and the hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,

The cloths of service to do service in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to minister in the priest's office.

According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.
