1 From the violet-purple, red-purple and crimson materials, they made the liturgical vestments forservice in the sanctuary. They made the sacred vestments for Aaron, as Yahweh had ordered Moses.	1 And of the blue and purple and scarlet stuff they made finely wrought garments, for ministering in the holy place; they made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
2 They made the ephod of gold, of violet-purple, red-purple and crimson materials and finely wovenlinen.	2 And he made the ephod of gold, blue and purple and scarlet stuff, and fine twined linen.
3 They beat gold into thin plates and cut these into threads to work into the violet-purple, red-purple andcrimson materials and the fine linen by needlework.	3 And gold leaf was hammered out and cut into threads to work into the blue and purple and the scarlet stuff, and into the fine twined linen, in skilled design.
4 For the ephod they made shoulder-straps which were joined to it at its two edges.	4 They made for the ephod shoulder-pieces, joined to it at its two edges.
5 The waistband on the ephod to hold it in position, was of a piece with it and of the same workmanship:of gold, violet-purple, red-purple and finely woven linen, as Yahweh had ordered Moses.	5 And the skillfully woven band upon it, to gird it on, was of the same materials and workmanship, of gold, blue and purple and scarlet stuff, and fine twined linen; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
6 They worked the cornelians, mounted in gold setting, and engraved, like an engraved seal, with thenames of the sons of Israel,	6 The onyx stones were prepared, enclosed in settings of gold filigree and engraved like the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the sons of Israel.
7 and put the stones on the shoulder-straps of the ephod, to commemorate the sons of Israel, asYahweh had ordered Moses.	7 And he set them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
8 They made the breastplate of the same embroidered work as the ephod: of gold, violet-purple, red-purple and crimson materials and finely woven linen.	8 He made the breastpiece, in skilled work, like the work of the ephod, of gold, blue and purple and scarlet stuff, and fine twined linen.
9 It was square and doubled over, a span in length and a span in width.	9 It was square; the breastpiece was made double, a span its length and a span its breadth when doubled.
10 In it they set four rows of stones: a sard, a topaz and an emerald, for the first row;	10 And they set in it four rows of stones. A row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle was the first row;
11 for the second row, a garnet, a sapphire and a diamond;	11 and the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond;
12 for the third row, a hyacinth, a ruby and an amethyst;	12 and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
13 and for the fourth row, a beryl, a cornelian and a jasper: mounted in gold settings,	13 and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper; they were enclosed in settings of gold filigree.
14 the stones corresponding to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve like their names, engraved likeseals, each with the name of one of the twelve tribes.	14 There were twelve stones with their names according to the names of the sons of Israel; they were like signets, each engraved with its name, for the twelve tribes.
15 For the breastplate they made chains of pure gold twisted like cords,	15 And they made on the breastpiece twisted chains like cords, of pure gold;
16 and they made two gold rosettes and two gold rings, putting the two rings on the two outside edgesof the breastplate	16 and they made two settings of gold filigree and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two edges of the breastpiece;
17 and fastening the two gold cords to the two rings on the outside edges of the breastplate.	17 and they put the two cords of gold in the two rings at the edges of the breastpiece.
18 The other two ends of the cords they fastened to the two rosettes, putting these on the shoulder-straps of the ephod, on the front.	18 Two ends of the two cords they had attached to the two settings of filigree; thus they attached it in front to the shoulder-pieces of the ephod.
19 They also made two gold rings and put them on the two outside edges of the breastplate, on theinner side, against the ephod;	19 Then they made two rings of gold, and put them at the two ends of the breastpiece, on its inside edge next to the ephod.
20 and they made two more gold rings and put them low down on the front of the two shoulder-straps ofthe ephod, close to the join, above the waistband of the ephod.	20 And they made two rings of gold, and attached them in front to the lower part of the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod, at its joining above the skilfully woven band of the ephod.
21 They secured the pectoral by a violet-purple cord passed through its rings and those of the ephod, sothat the pectoral would sit above the waistband and not come apart from the ephod, as Yahweh had orderedMoses.	21 And they bound the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, so that it should lie upon the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastpiece should not come loose from the ephod; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
22 They made the robe of the ephod woven entirely of violet-purple.	22 He also made the robe of the ephod woven all of blue;
23 The opening in the centre of the robe was like the neck of a coat of mail; round the opening was aborder, so that it would not get torn.	23 and the opening of the robe in it was like the opening in a garment, with a binding around the opening, that it might not be torn.
24 On the lower hem of the robe, they made pomegranates of violet-purple, red-purple and crimson andfinely woven linen,	24 On the skirts of the robe they made pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet stuff and fine twined linen.
25 and made bells of pure gold, putting the bel s between the pomegranates al round the lower hem ofthe robe:	25 They also made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the skirts of the robe round about, between the pomegranates;
26 alternately, a bel and then a pomegranate, al round the lower hem of the robe of office, as Yahwehhad ordered Moses.	26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate round about upon the skirts of the robe for ministering; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
27 They made the tunics of finely woven linen for Aaron and his sons,	27 They also made the coats, woven of fine linen, for Aaron and his sons,

31 They put it on a violet-purple cord, to fasten it high up on the turban, as Yahweh had ordered Moses.	31 And they tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten it on the turban above; as the LORD had commanded Moses.
