Exodus 39

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.	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.
2 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.	2 The ephod was woven of gold thread and of violet, purple and scarlet yarn and of fine linen twined.
3 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.	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.
4 They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.	4 Shoulder straps were made for it and joined to its two upper ends.
5 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.	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.
6 And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.	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.
7 And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.	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.
8 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.	8 The breastpiece was embroidered like the ephod, with gold thread and violet, purple and scarlet yarn on cloth of fine linen twined.
9 It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.	9 It was square and folded double, a span high and a span wide in its folded form.
10 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.	10 Four rows of precious stones were mounted on it: in the first row a carnelian, a topaz and an emerald;
11 And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.	11 in the second row, a garnet, a sapphire and a beryl;
12 And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.	12 in the third row a jacinth, an agate and an amethyst;
13 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.	13 in the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx and a jasper. They were mounted in gold filigree work.
14 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.	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.
15 And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold.	15 Chains of pure gold, twisted like cords, were made for the breastpiece,
16 And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.	16 together with two gold filigree rosettes and two gold rings. The two rings were fastened to the two upper ends of the breastpiece.
17 And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.	17 The two gold chains were then fastened to the two rings at the ends of the breastpiece.
18 And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.	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.
19 And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward.	19 Two other gold rings were made and put on the two lower ends of the breastpiece, on the edge facing the ephod.
20 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.	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.
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.	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.
22 And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.	22 The robe of the ephod was woven entirely of violet yarn,
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.	23 with an opening in its center like the opening of a shirt, with selvage around the opening to keep it from being torn.
24 And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.	24 At the hem of the robe pomegranates were made of violet, purple and scarlet yarn and of fine linen twined;
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;	25 bells of pure gold were also made and put between the pomegranates all around the hem of the robe:
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.	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.
27 And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,	27 For Aaron and his sons there were also woven tunics of fine linen;
28 And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,	28 the miter of fine linen; the ornate turbans of fine linen; drawers of linen (of fine linen twined);
29 And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the LORD 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.
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.	30 The plate of the sacred diadem was made of pure gold and inscribed, as on a seal engraving: "Sacred to the LORD."
31 And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.	31 It was tied over the miter with a violet ribbon, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
32 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.	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.
33 And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his 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,
34 And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the vail of the covering,	34 the covering of rams' skins dyed red, the covering of tahash skins, the curtain veil;
35 The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,	35 the ark of the commandments with its poles, the propitiatory,
36 The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,	36 the table with all its appurtenances and the showbread,
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,	37 the pure gold lampstand with its lamps set up on it and with all its appurtenances, the oil for the light,
38 And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door,	38 the golden altar, the anointing oil, the fragrant incense; the curtain for the entrance of the tent,
39 The brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,	39 the altar of bronze with its bronze grating, its poles and all its appurtenances, the laver with its base,
40 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,	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;
41 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.	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.
42 According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.	42 The Israelites had carried out all the work just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
43 And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they have done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.	43 So when Moses saw that all the work was done just as the LORD had commanded, he blessed them.
