CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINDOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Truly, from hyacinth and purple, vermillion and fine linen, he made the vestments with which Aaron was clothed when he ministered in the holy places, just as the Lord instructed 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 And so he made an ephod of gold, hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen,2 So he made an ephod of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.
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.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 And he made two edges, coupled to one another at the top of both sides,4 And two borders coupled one to the other in the top on either side,
5 and a wide belt from the same colors, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.5 And a girdle of the same colours, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
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.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 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.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 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: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 with four equal sides, doubled, of the measure of the palm of a hand.9 Foursquare, double, of the measure of a span.
10 And he set four rows of gems in it. In the first row was a sardius stone, a topaz, 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 was a garnet, a sapphire, and a jasper;11 In the second, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a jasper.
12 in the third was a zircon, an agate, and an amethyst;12 In the third, a ligurius, an agate, and an amethyst.
13 in the fourth was a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl, surrounded and enclosed in gold by their rows.13 In the fourth, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl, set and enclosed in gold by their rows.
14 And these twelve stones were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, each one with a single name.14 And the twelve stones were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, each one with its several name.
15 They also made, in the breastplate, little chains linked to one another, from the purest gold,15 They made also in the rational little chains linked one to another of the purest gold,
16 and two hooks, and the same number of gold rings. Moreover, they set the rings at both sides of the breastplate,16 And two hooks, and as many rings of gold. And they set the rings on either side of the rational,
17 from which two golden chains would hang, which they connected with the hooks that projected from the corners of the ephod.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 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,18 These both before and behind so answered one another, that the ephod and the rational were bound together,
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.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 They also made the tunic of the ephod entirely from hyacinth,20 They made also the tunick of the ephod all of violet,
21 with the head in the upper part at the middle, and a woven edge all around the head.21 And a hole for the head in the upper part at the middle, and a woven border round about the hole:
22 Then, at the feet below, they also made pomegranates from hyacinth, purple, vermillion, and fine twisted linen,22 And beneath at the feet pomegranates of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen:
23 and little bells from the purest gold, which they set between the pomegranates at the very bottom of the tunic all around.23 And little bells of the purest gold, which they put between the pomegranates at the bottom of the tunick round about:
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.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 They also made fine linen tunics with woven work, for Aaron and his sons,25 They made also fine linen tunicks with woven work for Aaron and his sons:
26 and headdresses with their little crowns of fine linen,26 And mitres with their little crowns of fine linen:
27 and also linen undergarments of fine linen.27 And linen breeches of fine linen:
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.28 And a girdle of fine twisted linen, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, of embroidery work, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
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.”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 And they fastened it to the headdress with a hyacinth band, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.30 And they fastened it to the mitre with a violet fillet, as 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.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 And they offered the tabernacle, and the covering, and all of the articles: the rings, the panels, the bars, the columns and bases,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 the cover of the skins of rams, dyed red, and the other cover of violet skins,33 The cover of rams' skins 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 its vessels and the bread of the presence,35 The table, with the vessels thereof, and the loaves of proposition:
36 the lampstand, the lamps, and their utensils with the oil,36 The candlestick, the lamps, and the furniture of them with the oil:
37 the altar of gold, and the ointment, and the incense of aromatics,37 The altar of gold, and the ointment, and the incense of spices:
38 and the tent at the entrance of the tabernacle,38 And the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle:
39 the altar of brass, the grating, the bars, and all of its vessels, the washtub with its base, the hangings of the atrium, and the columns with their bases,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 hanging at the entrance of the atrium, and their little cords and pegs. Nothing was lacking of the articles that were commanded to be made for the ministry of the tabernacle and for the covering of the covenant.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 Likewise, the vestments, which the priests, namely, Aaron and his sons, make use of use in the Sanctuary,41 The vestments also, which the priests, to wit, Aaron and his sons, used in the sanctuary,
42 the sons of Israel offered, just as the Lord had instructed.42 The children of Israel offered as the Lord had commanded.
43 After this, when Moses saw that everything was completed, he blessed them.43 And when Moses saw all things finished, he blessed them.
