CHAP. XXXIX.
1 AND of the blue, and purple, and scarlet they made clothes of service, to do ser∣vice in the holy place, and * 1.1 made the holy gar∣ments for Aaron, as the LORD commanded Moses.
2 And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
3 And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wiers, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linnen with cunning work.
4 They made shoulder pieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled to∣gether.
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.
6 * 1.2 And they wrought onyx-stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.
7 And he put them on the shoulders of the Ephod, that they should be stones for a * 1.3 memorial to the children of Israel, as the LORD command∣ed Moses.
8 And he made the breast-plate of cunning work like the work of the ephod, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet and fine twined linen.
9 It was foursquare, they made the brest-plate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof being doubled.
10 And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a ‖ 1.4 Sardius, a Topaz, and a Carbun∣cle: this was the first row.
11 And the second row an Emeraud, a Saphir, and a Diamond.
12 And the third row a Ligure, 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.
14 And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve according to their names, like the ingravings of a signet, every one with his name according to the twelve Tribes.
15 And they made upon the Brest-plate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold.
16 And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings: and put the two rings in the two ends of a brest-plate.
17 And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the brest∣plate.
18 And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastned in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the Ephod before it.
19 And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breast-plate upon the border of it, which was on the side of the Ephod inward.
20 And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the Ephod under∣neath, toward the fore-part of it, over-against the other coupling thereof, above the curious gir∣dle of the Ephod.
21 And they did bind the brest-plate 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 brest-plate might not be loosed from the Ephod, as the LORD command∣ed Moses.
22 And he made the robe of the Ephod of woven work, all of blue.
23 And there was a hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rent.
24 And they made upon the hems of the robe, pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.
25 And they made * 1.5 bels of pure gold, and put the bels between the pomegranates, upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegra∣nates.
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.
27 And they made coats of fine linen of woven work, for Aaron and for his sons,
28 And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and * 1.6 linen breeches of fine twined linen,
29 And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet of needle-work; as the LORD commanded Moses.
30 And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the ingravings of a signet, * 1.7 HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
31 And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fa∣sten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD 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.
33 And they brought the tabernacle unto Mo∣ses, the tent, and all his furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his sockets.
34 And the covering of rams skins died red, and the covering of badgers skins, and the vail of the covering.
35 The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy-seat,
36 The table and all the vessels thereof, and the shew-bread,
37 The pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps, to be set in or∣der, and all the vessels thereof, and the oyl for light,
38 And the golden altar, and the anointing oyl, and † 1.8 the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle-door.
39 The brazen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver, and his feet,
40 The hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, and the hanging for the court-gate,
