Exodus 39

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 With violet, purple and scarlet yarn were woven the service cloths for use in the sanctuary, as well as the sacred vestments for Aaron, as the LORD had commanded Moses.	1 And he made, of violet and purple, scarlet and fine linen, the vestments for Aaron to wear when he ministered in the holy places, as the Lord commanded Moses.
2 The ephod was woven of gold thread and of violet, purple and scarlet yarn and of fine linen twined.	2 So he made an ephod of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.
3 Gold was first hammered into gold leaf and then cut up into threads, which were woven with the violet, purple and scarlet yarn into an embroidered pattern on the fine linen.	3 With embroidered work: and he cut thin plates of gold, and drew them small into threads, that they might be twisted with the woof of the aforesaid colours,
4 Shoulder straps were made for it and joined to its two upper ends.	4 And two borders coupled one to the other in the top on either side,
5 The embroidered belt on the ephod extended out from it, and like it, was made of gold thread, of violet, purple and scarlet yarn, and of fine linen twined, as the LORD had commanded Moses.	5 And a girdle of the same colours, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
6 The onyx stones were prepared and mounted in gold filigree work; they were engraved like seal engravings with the names of the sons of Israel.	6 He prepared also two onyx stones, fast set and closed in gold, and graven by the art of a lapidary, with the names of the children of Israel:
7 These stones were set on the shoulder straps of the ephod as memorial stones of the sons of Israel, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.	7 And he set them in the sides of the ephod for a memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
8 The breastpiece was embroidered like the ephod, with gold thread and violet, purple and scarlet yarn on cloth of fine linen twined.	8 He made also a rational with embroidered work, according to the work of the ephod, of gold, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen,
9 It was square and folded double, a span high and a span wide in its folded form.	9 Foursquare, double, of the measure of a span.
10 Four rows of precious stones were mounted on it: in the first row a carnelian, a topaz and an emerald;	10 And he set four rows of precious stones in it. In the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and emerald.
11 in the second row, a garnet, a sapphire and a beryl;	11 In the second, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a jasper.
12 in the third row a jacinth, an agate and an amethyst;	12 In the third, a ligurius, an agate, and an amethyst.
13 in the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx and a jasper. They were mounted in gold filigree work.	13 In the fourth, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl, set and enclosed in gold by their rows.
14 These stones were twelve, to match the names of the sons of Israel, and each stone was engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.	14 And the twelve stones were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, each one with its several name.
15 Chains of pure gold, twisted like cords, were made for the breastpiece,	15 They made also in the rational little chains linked one to another of the purest gold,
16 together with two gold filigree rosettes and two gold rings. The two rings were fastened to the two upper ends of the breastpiece.	16 And two hooks, and as many rings of gold. And they set the rings on either side of the rational,
17 The two gold chains were then fastened to the two rings at the ends of the breastpiece.	17 On which rings the two golden chains should hang, which they put into the hooks that stood out in the corners of the ephod.
18 The other two ends of the two chains were fastened in front to the two filigree rosettes, which were attached to the shoulder straps of the ephod.	18 These both before and behind so answered one another, that the ephod and the rational were bound together,
19 Two other gold rings were made and put on the two lower ends of the breastpiece, on the edge facing the ephod.	19 Being fastened to the girdle and strongly coupled with rings, which a violet fillet joined, lest they should flag loose, and be moved one from the other, as the Lord commanded Moses.
20 Two more gold rings were made and fastened to the bottom of the two shoulder straps next to where they joined the ephod in front, just above its embroidered belt.	20 They made also the tunick of the ephod all of violet,
21 Violet ribbons bound the rings of the breastpiece to the rings of the ephod, so that the breastpiece stayed right above the embroidered belt of the ephod and did not swing loose from it. All this was just as the LORD had commanded Moses.	21 And a hole for the head in the upper part at the middle, and a woven border round about the hole:
22 The robe of the ephod was woven entirely of violet yarn,	22 And beneath at the feet pomegranates of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen:
23 with an opening in its center like the opening of a shirt, with selvage around the opening to keep it from being torn.	23 And little bells of the purest gold, which they put between the pomegranates at the bottom of the tunick round about:
24 At the hem of the robe pomegranates were made of violet, purple and scarlet yarn and of fine linen twined;	24 To wit, a bell of gold, and a pomegranate, wherewith the high priest went adorned, when he discharged his ministry, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
25 bells of pure gold were also made and put between the pomegranates all around the hem of the robe:	25 They made also fine linen tunicks with woven work for Aaron and his sons:
26 first a bell, then a pomegranate, and thus alternating all around the hem of the robe which was to be worn in performing the ministry--all this, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.	26 And mitres with their little crowns of fine linen:
27 For Aaron and his sons there were also woven tunics of fine linen;	27 And linen breeches of fine linen:
28 the miter of fine linen; the ornate turbans of fine linen; drawers of linen (of fine linen twined);	28 And a girdle of fine twisted linen, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, of embroidery work, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
29 and sashes of variegated work made of fine linen twined and of violet, purple and scarlet yarn, as the LORD had commanded Moses.	29 They made also the plate of sacred veneration of the purest gold, and they wrote on it with the engraving of a lapidary, The Holy of the Lord:
30 The plate of the sacred diadem was made of pure gold and inscribed, as on a seal engraving: "Sacred to the LORD."	30 And they fastened it to the mitre with a violet fillet, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
31 It was tied over the miter with a violet ribbon, as the LORD had commanded Moses.	31 So all the work of the tabernacle and of the roof of the testimony was finished: and the children of Israel did all things which the Lord had commanded Moses.
32 Thus the entire work of the Dwelling of the meeting tent was completed. The Israelites did the work just as the LORD had commanded Moses.	32 And they offered the tabernacle and the roof and the whole furniture, the rings, the boards, the bars, the pillars, and their sockets,
33 They then brought to Moses the Dwelling, the tent with all its appurtenances, the clasps, the boards, the bars, the columns, the pedestals,	33 The cover of rams' skins dyed red, and the other cover of violet skins,
34 the covering of rams' skins dyed red, the covering of tahash skins, the curtain veil;	34 The veil, the ark, the bars, the propitiatory,
35 the ark of the commandments with its poles, the propitiatory,	35 The table, with the vessels thereof, and the loaves of proposition:
36 the table with all its appurtenances and the showbread,	36 The candlestick, the lamps, and the furniture of them with the oil:
37 the pure gold lampstand with its lamps set up on it and with all its appurtenances, the oil for the light,	37 The altar of gold, and the ointment, and the incense of spices:
38 the golden altar, the anointing oil, the fragrant incense; the curtain for the entrance of the tent,	38 And the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle:
39 the altar of bronze with its bronze grating, its poles and all its appurtenances, the laver with its base,	39 The altar of brass, the grate, the bars, and all the vessels thereof: the laver with the foot thereof: the hangings of the court, and the pillars with their sockets:
40 the hangings of the court with their columns and pedestals, the curtain for the entrance of the court with its ropes and tent pegs, all the equipment for the service of the Dwelling of the meeting tent;	40 The hanging in the entry of the court, and the little cords, and the pins thereof. Nothing was wanting of the vessels, that were commanded to be made for the ministry of the tabernacle, and for the roof of the covenant.
41 the service cloths for use in the sanctuary, the sacred vestments for Aaron the priest, and the vestments to be worn by his sons in their ministry.	41 The vestments also, which the priests, to wit, Aaron and his sons, used in the sanctuary,
42 The Israelites had carried out all the work just as the LORD had commanded Moses.	42 The children of Israel offered as the Lord had commanded.
43 So when Moses saw that all the work was done just as the LORD had commanded, he blessed them.	43 And when Moses saw all things finished, he blessed them.
