| 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. | 1From the blue, purple and scarlet yarn they made woven garments for ministering in the sanctuary. They also made sacred garments for Aaron, as the LORD commanded Moses. |
| 2And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. | 2They made the ephod of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen. |
| 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. | 3They hammered out thin sheets of gold and cut strands to be worked into the blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen--the work of skilled hands. |
| 4They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together. | 4They made shoulder pieces for the ephod, which were attached to two of its corners, so it could be fastened. |
| 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. | 5Its skillfully woven waistband was like it--of one piece with the ephod and made with gold, and with blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and with finely twisted linen, as the LORD commanded Moses. |
| 6And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel. | 6They mounted the onyx stones in gold filigree settings and engraved them like a seal with the names of the sons of Israel. |
| 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. | 7Then they fastened them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel, as the LORD commanded Moses. |
| 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. | 8They fashioned the breastpiece--the work of a skilled craftsman. They made it like the ephod: of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen. |
| 9It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled. | 9It was square--a span long and a span wide--and folded double. |
| 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. | 10Then they mounted four rows of precious stones on it. The first row was carnelian, chrysolite and beryl; |
| 11And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond. | 11the second row was turquoise, lapis lazuli and emerald; |
| 12And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst. | 12the third row was jacinth, agate and amethyst; |
| 13And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings. | 13the fourth row was topaz, onyx and jasper. They were mounted in gold filigree settings. |
| 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. | 14There were twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes. |
| 15And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold. | 15For the breastpiece they made braided chains of pure gold, like a rope. |
| 16And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate. | 16They made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings, and fastened the rings to two of the corners of the breastpiece. |
| 17And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate. | 17They fastened the two gold chains to the rings at the corners of the breastpiece, |
| 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. | 18and the other ends of the chains to the two settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front. |
| 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. | 19They made two gold rings and attached them to the other two corners of the breastpiece on the inside edge next to the ephod. |
| 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. | 20Then they made two more gold rings and attached them to the bottom of the shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod, close to the seam just above the waistband of the ephod. |
| 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. | 21They tied the rings of the breastpiece to the rings of the ephod with blue cord, connecting it to the waistband so that the breastpiece would not swing out from the ephod--as the LORD commanded Moses. |
| 22And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue. | 22They made the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth--the work of a weaver-- |
| 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. | 23with an opening in the center of the robe like the opening of a collar, and a band around this opening, so that it would not tear. |
| 24And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen. | 24They made pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen around the hem of the robe. |
| 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; | 25And they made bells of pure gold and attached them around the hem between the pomegranates. |
| 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. | 26The bells and pomegranates alternated around the hem of the robe to be worn for ministering, as the LORD commanded Moses. |
| 27And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons, | 27For Aaron and his sons, they made tunics of fine linen--the work of a weaver-- |
| 28And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen, | 28and the turban of fine linen, the linen caps and the undergarments of finely twisted linen. |
| 29And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses. | 29The sash was made of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn--the work of an embroiderer--as the LORD commanded Moses. |
| 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. | 30They made the plate, the sacred emblem, out of pure gold and engraved on it, like an inscription on a seal: holy to the Lord. |
| 31And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses. | 31Then they fastened a blue cord to it to attach it to the turban, as the LORD commanded Moses. |
| 32Thus 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. | 32So all the work on the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, was completed. The Israelites did everything just as the LORD commanded Moses. |
| 33And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his furniture, his taches, his boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his sockets, | 33Then they brought the tabernacle to Moses: the tent and all its furnishings, its clasps, frames, crossbars, posts and bases; |
| 34And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the vail of the covering, | 34the covering of ram skins dyed red and the covering of another durable leather and the shielding curtain; |
| 35The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat, | 35the ark of the covenant law with its poles and the atonement cover; |
| 36The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread, | 36the table with all its articles and the bread of the Presence; |
| 37The 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, | 37the pure gold lampstand with its row of lamps and all its accessories, and the olive oil for the light; |
| 38And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door, | 38the gold altar, the anointing oil, the fragrant incense, and the curtain for the entrance to the tent; |
| 39The brasen altar, and his grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot, | 39the bronze altar with its bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils; the basin with its stand; |
| 40The 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, | 40the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard; the ropes and tent pegs for the courtyard; all the furnishings for the tabernacle, the tent of meeting; |
| 41The 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. | 41and the woven garments worn for ministering in the sanctuary, both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when serving as priests. |
| 42According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work. | 42The Israelites had done all the work just as the LORD had commanded Moses. |
| 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. | 43Moses inspected the work and saw that they had done it just as the LORD had commanded. So Moses blessed them. |
