The Scriptures (ISR 1998) 1And of the blue and purple and scarlet material they made woven garments, to do service in the set-apart place. And they made the set-apart garments which were for Aharon, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh. 2And he made the shoulder garment of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet material, and of fine woven linen. 3And they beat out sheets of gold and cut it into threads, to work it in with the blue and purple and scarlet material, and the fine linen, the work of a skilled workman. 4They made shoulder pieces for it to join it, it was joined at its two edges. 5And the embroidered band of his shoulder garment that was on it was of the same work of gold, and blue and purple and scarlet material, and of fine woven linen, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh. 6And they made the shoham stones, set in plated work of gold, engraved as signets are engraved, according to the names of the sons of Yisra’ĕl. 7And he put them on the shoulders of the shoulder garment, stones of remembrance for the sons of Yisra’ĕl, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh. 8And he made the breastplate, a work of a skilled workman, like the work of the shoulder garment, of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet material, and of fine woven linen. 9It was square, they made the breastplate double, its length a span, its width a span, doubled. 10And they filled it with four rows of stones: a row of ruby, a topaz, and an emerald was the first row; 11and the second row a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond; 12and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; 13and the fourth row a beryl, a shoham, and a jasper – set in plated work of gold in their settings. 14And the stones were according to the names of the sons of Yisra’ĕl, twelve according to their names, engraved like a signet, each one with its own name according to the twelve tribes. 15And they made braided chains of corded work for the breastplate at the ends, of clean gold. 16And they made two settings of gold and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. 17And they put the two cords of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate. 18And the two ends of the two cords they fastened in the two settings, and put them on the shoulder pieces of the shoulder garment in the front. 19And they made two rings of gold and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it, which was on the inward side of the shoulder garment. 20And they made two gold rings and put them on the two shoulder pieces, underneath the shoulder garment, on the front of it, close to its seam above the embroidered band of the shoulder garment. 21And they bound the breastplate by means of its rings to the rings of the shoulder garment with a blue cord, so that it would be above the embroidered band of the shoulder garment, and that the breastplate would not come loose from the shoulder garment, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh. 22And he made the robe of the shoulder garment of woven work, all of blue. 23And the opening of the robe was in the middle, like the opening in a scaled armour, with a woven binding all around the opening, so that it would not tear. 24And they made on the hem of the robe pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet material, twined. 25And they made bells of clean gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates on the hem of the robe all around between the pomegranates: 26a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe, for the service, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh. 27And they made the long shirt of fine linen, the work of a weaver, for Aharon and his sons, 28and a turban of fine linen, and the turban ornaments of fine linen, and short trousers of fine woven linen, 29and a girdle of fine woven linen with blue and purple and scarlet material, the work of an embroiderer, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh. 30And they made the plate of the set-apart sign of dedication of clean gold, and wrote on it an inscription like the engraving of a signet: SET-APARTNESS TO יהוה. 31And they put on it a blue cord, to fasten it above on the turban, as יהוה had commanded Mosheh. 32And all the work of the Dwelling Place of the Tent of Meeting was completed. And the children of Yisra’ĕl did according to all that יהוה had commanded Mosheh, so they did. 33And they brought the Dwelling Place to Mosheh, the tent and all its furnishings, its hooks, its boards, its bars, and its columns, and its sockets, 34and the covering of rams’ skins dyed red, and the covering of fine leather, and the veil of the covering, 35the ark of the Witness with its poles, and the lid of atonement, 36the table, and all its utensils, and the showbread, 37the clean lampstand with its lamps, the lamps to be put in order, and all its utensils, and the oil for light, 38and the altar of gold, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the covering for the Tent door, 39the bronze altar and its bronze grating, its poles, and all its utensils, the basin with its stand, 40the screens of the courtyard, its columns and its sockets, the covering for the courtyard gate, its cords, and its pegs, and all the utensils for the service of the Dwelling Place, for the Tent of Meeting, 41the woven garments, to do service in the set-apart place: the set-apart garments for Aharon the priest, and his sons’ garments, to serve as priests. 42According to all that יהוה had commanded Mosheh, so the children of Yisra’ĕl did all the work. 43And Mosheh looked over all the work and saw they did it as יהוה had commanded, so they had done. And Mosheh blessed them. |
