1They made specially woven garments for ministry in the sanctuary, and the holy garments for Aaron from the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.1And 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.
2Bezalel made the ephod of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and of finely spun linen.2And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
3They hammered out thin sheets of gold, and he cut threads from them to interweave with the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and the fine linen in a skillful design.3And 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.
4They made shoulder pieces for attaching it; it was joined together at its two edges.4They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.
5The artistically woven waistband that was on the ephod was of one piece with the ephod, according to the same workmanship of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and of finely spun linen, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.5And 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.
6Then they mounted the onyx stones surrounded with gold filigree settings, engraved with the names of Israel's sons as a gem cutter engraves a seal.6And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.
7He fastened them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the Israelites, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.7And 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.
8He also made the embroidered breastpiece with the same workmanship as the ephod of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and of finely spun linen.8And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9They made the breastpiece square and folded double, nine inches long and nine inches wide.9It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.
10They mounted four rows of gemstones on it. The first row was a row of carnelian, topaz, and emerald;10And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.
11the second row, a turquoise, a lapis lazuli, and a diamond;11And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
12the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;12And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
13and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were surrounded with gold filigree in their settings.13And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.
14The twelve stones corresponded to the names of Israel's sons. Each stone was engraved like a seal with one of the names of the twelve tribes.14And 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.
15They made braided chains of pure gold cord for the breastpiece.15And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold.
16They also fashioned two gold filigree settings and two gold rings and attached the two rings to its two corners.16And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.
17Then they attached the two gold cords to the two gold rings on the corners of the breastpiece.17And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.
18They attached the other ends of the two cords to the two filigree settings, and in this way they attached them to the ephod's shoulder pieces in front.18And 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.
19They made two other gold rings and put them at the two other corners of the breastpiece on the edge that is next to the inner border of the ephod.19And 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.
20They made two more gold rings and attached them to the bottom of the ephod's two shoulder pieces on its front, close to its seam, above the ephod's woven waistband.20And 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.
21Then they tied the breastpiece from its rings to the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue yarn, so that the breastpiece was above the ephod's waistband and did not come loose from the ephod. They did just as the LORD had commanded Moses.21And 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.
22They made the woven robe of the ephod entirely of blue yarn.22And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
23There was an opening in the center of the robe like that of body armor with a collar around the opening so that it would not tear.23And 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.
24They made pomegranates of finely spun blue, purple, and scarlet yarn on the lower hem of the robe.24And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.
25They made bells of pure gold and attached the bells between the pomegranates, all around the hem of the robe between the pomegranates,25And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;
26a bell and a pomegranate alternating all around the lower hem of the robe to be worn for ministry. They made it just as the LORD had commanded Moses.26A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.
27They made the tunics of fine woven linen for Aaron and his sons.27And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,
28They made the turban and the ornate headbands of fine linen, the linen undergarments of finely spun linen,28And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,
29and the sash of finely spun linen expertly embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn. They did just as the LORD had commanded Moses.29And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.
30They made a medallion, the holy diadem, out of pure gold and wrote on it an inscription like the engraving on a seal: HOLY TO THE LORD.30And 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.
31They attached a cord of blue yarn to it in order to mount it on the turban, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.31And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.
32So all the work for the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, was finished.

43Moses inspected all the work they had accomplished. They had done just as the LORD commanded. Then Moses blessed them.43And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
