The Making of the Priests' Garments
39
📚And with the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made woven garments for service in the Holy Place, and made the holy garments for Aaron, just as the LORD commanded Moses.2 📚And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine woven linen. 3 📚And they hammered the gold into thin plates, and cut it into threads, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, the work of a skillful craftsman. 4 They made shoulder pieces for it to join it together. It was joined together at the two top ends. 5 📚And its skillfully woven waistband that was on it, was of one piece, and like it in workmanship, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine woven linen, just as the LORD commanded Moses.
6 📚And they prepared onyx stones set in gold filigree settings, engraved, like signets are engraved, with the names of the children of Israel. 7 📚And he put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, as memorial stones for the children of Israel, just as the LORD commanded Moses.
8 📚And he made the breastplate, the work of a skillful craftsman, like the work of the ephod, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine woven linen. 9 It was square. They made the breastplate double. Its length was a span and its width a span, being doubled.
10 📚And they set four rows of stones in it. The first row had a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle; this was the first row. 11 📚And the second row had an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond. 12 And the third row had a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst. 13 And the fourth row had a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were set in gold filigrees in their settings. 14 📚And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names. They had engravings like a signet, each one with its name, according to the twelve tribes.
15 📚And on the breastplate they made braided chains of pure gold, like cords. 16 📚And they made two gold filigree settings, and two gold rings, and put the two rings on two corners of the breastplate. 17 And they put the two braided gold chains in the two rings on the corners of the breastplate. 18 📚And the two ends of the two braided chains they fastened to the two filigree settings, and put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, in the front of it. 19 And they made two gold rings, and put them on the other two corners of the breastplate, on its inside edge which was next to the ephod. 20 📚And they made two other gold rings, and put them at the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, toward the front of it, close to the place where it joined, above the woven waistband of the ephod. 21 📚And they bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, so that it would be above the woven waistband of the ephod, and so that the breastplate might not get loose from the ephod, just as the LORD commanded Moses.
22 📚And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue. 23 And there was an opening in the center of the robe, as the opening of a coat of mail, with a band all around the opening so that it would not tear. 24 📚And on the hem of the robe they made pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and woven linen. 25 📚And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates on the hem of the robe, all around between the pomegranates; 26 📚a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe to be worn for service, just as the LORD commanded Moses.
27 📚And they made tunics of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons, 28 📚and a turban of fine linen, and the fine linen caps, and linen breeches of fine woven linen, 29 📚and a sash of fine woven linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework, just as the LORD commanded Moses.
30 📚And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and inscribed on it a writing, like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD. 31 And they tied a lace of blue to it to fasten it to the turban near the top, just as the LORD commanded Moses.
