2 So he made an ephod of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.	2 And so he made an ephod of gold, hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted 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,	3 wrought with embroidery. And he cut thin strips of gold and drew them into threads, so that they could be twisted into the weave of the first colors.
4 And two borders coupled one to the other in the top on either side,	4 And he made two edges, coupled to one another at the top of both sides,
5 And a girdle of the same colours, as the Lord had commanded Moses.	5 and a wide belt from the same colors, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
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:	6 He also prepared two onyx stones, set and enclosed in gold, and engraved with the skill of a jeweler, with the names of the sons of Israel.
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.	7 And he set them in the sides of the ephod, as a memorial to the sons of Israel, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
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,	8 He also made a breastplate, wrought with embroidery, according to the work of the ephod, from gold, hyacinth, purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen:
9 Foursquare, double, of the measure of a span.	9 with four equal sides, doubled, of the measure of the palm of a hand.
10 And he set four rows of precious stones in it. In the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and emerald.	10 And he set four rows of gems in it. In the first row was a sardius stone, a topaz, an emerald;
11 In the second, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a jasper.	11 in the second was a garnet, a sapphire, and a jasper;
12 In the third, a ligurius, an agate, and an amethyst.	12 in the third was a zircon, an agate, and an amethyst;
13 In the fourth, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl, set and enclosed in gold by their rows.	13 in the fourth was a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl, surrounded and enclosed in gold by their rows.
14 And the twelve stones were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, each one with its several name.	14 And these twelve stones were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, each one with a single name.
15 They made also in the rational little chains linked one to another of the purest gold,	15 They also made, in the breastplate, little chains linked to one another, from the purest gold,
16 And two hooks, and as many rings of gold. And they set the rings on either side of the rational,	16 and two hooks, and the same number of gold rings. Moreover, they set the rings at both sides of the breastplate,
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.	17 from which two golden chains would hang, which they connected with the hooks that projected from the corners of the ephod.
18 These both before and behind so answered one another, that the ephod and the rational were bound together,	18 These were both in front and in back so that they met one another, and so that the ephod and the breastplate were woven together,
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.	19 being fastened to the wide belt and strongly coupled with rings, to which a hyacinth band was joined, lest they should shake loose and be moved away from one another, just as the Lord instructed Moses.
20 They made also the tunick of the ephod all of violet,	20 They also made the tunic of the ephod entirely from hyacinth,
21 And a hole for the head in the upper part at the middle, and a woven border round about the hole:	21 with the head in the upper part at the middle, and a woven edge all around the head.
22 And beneath at the feet pomegranates of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen:	22 Then, at the feet below, they also made pomegranates from hyacinth, purple, vermillion, and fine twisted linen,
23 And little bells of the purest gold, which they put between the pomegranates at the bottom of the tunick round about:	23 and little bells from the purest gold, which they set between the pomegranates at the very bottom of the tunic all around.
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.	24 So then, the high priest approached, adorned with gold bell and pomegranate, when he performed his ministry, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
25 They made also fine linen tunicks with woven work for Aaron and his sons:	25 They also made fine linen tunics with woven work, for Aaron and his sons,

27 And linen breeches of fine linen:	27 and also linen undergarments of fine linen.
28 And a girdle of fine twisted linen, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, of embroidery work, as the Lord had commanded Moses.	28 Truly, they also made a wide band of fine twisted linen, hyacinth, purple, as well as vermillion, twice-dyed, with skillful embroidery, just as the Lord had instructed 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:	29 They also made the plate of sacred veneration from the purest gold, and they wrote on it, with the skill of a jeweler: “Holy to the Lord.”
30 And they fastened it to the mitre with a violet fillet, as the Lord had commanded Moses.	30 And they fastened it to the headdress with a hyacinth band, just as the Lord had instructed 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.	31 And so all the work of the tabernacle and of the covering of the testimony was completed. And the sons of Israel did all that the Lord had instructed 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,	32 And they offered the tabernacle, and the covering, and all of the articles: the rings, the panels, the bars, the columns and bases,
33 The cover of rams' skins dyed red, and the other cover of violet skins,	33 the cover of the skins of rams, dyed red, and the other cover of violet skins,
34 The veil, the ark, the bars, the propitiatory,	34 the veil, the ark, the bars, the propitiatory,
35 The table, with the vessels thereof, and the loaves of proposition:	35 the table, with its vessels and the bread of the presence,

37 The altar of gold, and the ointment, and the incense of spices:	37 the altar of gold, and the ointment, and the incense of aromatics,
