1	The craftsmen made beautiful sacred garments of blue, purple, and scarlet cloth—clothing for Aaron to wear while ministering in the Holy Place, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.	From the blue and purple and scarlet yarns they made finely woven garments, for ministering in the Holy Place. They made the holy garments for Aaron, as the LORD had commanded Moses.	From 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.
2	Bezalel made the ephod of finely woven linen and embroidered it with gold and with blue, purple, and scarlet thread.	He made the ephod of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen.	They made the ephod of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen.
3	He made gold thread by hammering out thin sheets of gold and cutting it into fine strands. With great skill and care, he worked it into the fine linen with the blue, purple, and scarlet thread.	And they hammered out gold leaf, and he cut it into threads to work into the blue and purple and the scarlet yarns, and into the fine twined linen, in skilled design.	They 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.
4	The ephod consisted of two pieces, front and back, joined at the shoulders with two shoulder-pieces.	They made for the ephod attaching shoulder pieces, joined to it at its two edges.	They made shoulder pieces for the ephod, which were attached to two of its corners, so it could be fastened.
5	The decorative sash was made of the same materials: finely woven linen embroidered with gold and with blue, purple, and scarlet thread, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.	And the skillfully woven band on it was of one piece with it and made like it, of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen, as the LORD had commanded Moses.	Its 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.
6	They mounted the two onyx stones in settings of gold filigree. The stones were engraved with the names of the tribes of Israel, just as a seal is engraved.	They made the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold filigree, and engraved like the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the sons of Israel.	They mounted the onyx stones in gold filigree settings and engraved them like a seal with the names of the sons of Israel.
7	He fastened these stones on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod as a reminder that the priest represents the people of Israel. All this was done just as the LORD had commanded Moses.	And he set them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod to be stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel, as the LORD had commanded Moses.	Then they fastened them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel, as the LORD commanded Moses.
8	Bezalel made the chestpiece with great skill and care. He made it to match the ephod, using finely woven linen embroidered with gold and with blue, purple, and scarlet thread.	He made the breastpiece, in skilled work, in the style of the ephod, of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen.	They 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.
9	He made the chestpiece of a single piece of cloth folded to form a pouch nine inches square.	It was square. They made the breastpiece doubled, a span its length and a span its breadth when doubled.	It was square—a span long and a span wide—and folded double.
10	They mounted four rows of gemstones on it. The first row contained a red carnelian, a pale-green peridot, and an emerald.	And they set in it four rows of stones. A row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle was the first row;	Then they mounted four rows of precious stones on it. The first row was carnelian, chrysolite and beryl;
11	The second row contained a turquoise, a blue lapis lazuli, and a white moonstone.	and the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond;	the second row was turquoise, lapis lazuli and emerald;
12	The third row contained an orange jacinth, an agate, and a purple amethyst.	and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;	the third row was jacinth, agate and amethyst;
13	The fourth row contained a blue-green beryl, an onyx, and a green jasper. All these stones were set in gold filigree.	and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in settings of gold filigree.	the fourth row was topaz, onyx and jasper. They were mounted in gold filigree settings.
14	Each stone represented one of the twelve sons of Israel, and the name of that tribe was engraved on it like a seal.	There were twelve stones with their names according to the names of the sons of Israel. They were like signets, each engraved with its name, for the twelve tribes.	There 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.
15	To attach the chestpiece to the ephod, they made braided cords of pure gold thread.	And they made on the breastpiece twisted chains like cords, of pure gold.	For the breastpiece they made braided chains of pure gold, like a rope.
16	They also made two settings of gold filigree and two gold rings and attached them to the top corners of the chestpiece.	And they made two settings of gold filigree and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two edges of the breastpiece.	They made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings, and fastened the rings to two of the corners of the breastpiece.
17	They tied the two gold cords to the rings on the chestpiece.	And they put the two cords of gold in the two rings at the edges of the breastpiece.	They fastened the two gold chains to the rings at the corners of the breastpiece,
18	They tied the other ends of the cords to the gold settings on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod.	They attached the two ends of the two cords to the two settings of filigree. Thus they attached it in front to the shoulder pieces of the ephod.	and the other ends of the chains to the two settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front.
19	Then they made two more gold rings and attached them to the inside edges of the chestpiece next to the ephod.	Then they made two rings of gold, and put them at the two ends of the breastpiece, on its inside edge next to the ephod.	They made two gold rings and attached them to the other two corners of the breastpiece on the inside edge next to the ephod.
20	Then they made two more gold rings and attached them to the front of the ephod, below the shoulder-pieces, just above the knot where the decorative sash was fastened to the ephod.	And they made two rings of gold, and attached them in front to the lower part of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, at its seam above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.	Then 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.
21	They attached the bottom rings of the chestpiece to the rings on the ephod with blue cords. In this way, the chestpiece was held securely to the ephod above the decorative sash. All this was done just as the LORD had commanded Moses.	And they bound the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, so that it should lie on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastpiece should not come loose from the ephod, as the LORD had commanded Moses.	They 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.
22	Bezalel made the robe that is worn with the ephod from a single piece of blue woven cloth,	He also made the robe of the ephod woven all of blue,	They made the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth—the work of a weaver—
23	with an opening for Aaron’s head in the middle of it. The opening was reinforced with a woven collar so it would not tear.	and the opening of the robe in it was like the opening in a garment, with a binding around the opening, so that it might not tear.	with 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.
24	They made pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and attached them to the hem of the robe.	On the hem of the robe they made pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen.	They made pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen around the hem of the robe.
25	They also made bells of pure gold and placed them between the pomegranates along the hem of the robe,	They also made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates all around the hem of the robe, between the pomegranates—	And they made bells of pure gold and attached them around the hem between the pomegranates.
26	with bells and pomegranates alternating all around the hem. This robe was to be worn whenever the priest ministered before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.	a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate around the hem of the robe for ministering, as the LORD had commanded Moses.	The bells and pomegranates alternated around the hem of the robe to be worn for ministering, as the LORD commanded Moses.
27	They made tunics for Aaron and his sons from fine linen cloth.	They also made the coats, woven of fine linen, for Aaron and his sons,	For Aaron and his sons, they made tunics of fine linen—the work of a weaver—

30	Finally, they made the sacred medallion—the badge of holiness—of pure gold. They engraved it like a seal with these words: Holy to the Lord .	They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote on it an inscription, like the engraving of a signet, “Holy to the LORD.”	They made the plate, the sacred emblem, out of pure gold and engraved on it, like an inscription on a seal: holy to the Lord.
31	They attached the medallion with a blue cord to Aaron’s turban, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.	And they tied to it a cord of blue to fasten it on the turban above, as the LORD had commanded Moses.	Then they fastened a blue cord to it to attach it to the turban, as the LORD commanded Moses.
32	And so at last the Tabernacle was finished. The Israelites had done everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
