1 And of the blue, H8504 and purple, H713 and scarlet, H8144 H8438 they made H6213 cloths H899 of service, H8278 to do service H8334 in the holy H6944 place, and made H6213 the holy H6944 garments H899 for Aaron; H175 as the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 Moses. H4872
2 And he made H6213 the ephod H646 of gold, H2091 blue, H8504 and purple, H713 and scarlet, H8438 H8144 and fine twined H7806 linen. H8336
3 And they did beat H7554 the gold H2091 into H854 thin plates, H6341 and cut H7112 it into wires, H6616 to work H6213 H8432 it in the blue, H8504 and in the purple, H713 and in the scarlet, H8144 H8438 and in the fine linen, H8336 with cunning H2803 work. H4639
4 They made H6213 shoulderpieces H3802 for it, to couple it together: H2266 by the two H8147 edges H7098 H7099 was it coupled together. H2266
5 And the curious girdle H2805 of his ephod, H642 that was upon it, was of the same, according to the work H4639 thereof; of gold, H2091 blue, H8504 and purple, H713 and scarlet, H8144 H8438 and fine twined H7806 linen; H8336 as the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 Moses. H4872
6 And they wrought H6213 onyx H7718 stones H68 inclosed H4142 in ouches H4865 of gold, H2091 graven, H6605 as signets H2368 are graven, H6603 with the names H8034 of the children H1121 of Israel. H3478
7 And he put H7760 them on the shoulders H3802 of the ephod, H646 that they should be stones H68 for a memorial H2146 to the children H1121 of Israel; H3478 as the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 Moses. H4872
8 And he made H6213 the breastplate H2833 of cunning H2803 work, H4639 like the work H4639 of the ephod; H646 of gold, H2091 blue, H8504 and purple, H713 and scarlet, H8144 H8438 and fine twined H7806 linen. H8336
9 It was foursquare; H7251 they made H6213 the breastplate H2833 double: H3717 a span H2239 was the length H753 thereof, and a span H2239 the breadth H7341 thereof, being doubled. H3717
10 And they set H4390 in it four H702 rows H2905 of stones: H68 the first row H2905 was a sardius, H124 a topaz, H6357 and a carbuncle: H1304 this was the first H259 row. H2905
11 And the second H8145 row, H2905 an emerald, H5306 a sapphire, H5601 and a diamond. H3095
12 And the third H7992 row, H2905 a ligure, H3958 an agate, H7618 and an amethyst. H306
13 And the fourth H7243 row, H2905 a beryl, H8658 an onyx, H7718 and a jasper: H3471 they were inclosed H4142 in ouches H4865 of gold H2091 in their inclosings. H4396
14 And the stones H68 were according to the names H8034 of the children H1121 of Israel, H3478 twelve, H8147 H6240 according to their names, H8034 like the engravings H6603 of a signet, H2368 every one H376 with his name, H8034 according to the twelve H8147 H6240 tribes. H7626
15 And they made H6213 upon the breastplate H2833 chains H8333 at the ends, H1383 of wreathen H5688 work H4639 of pure H2889 gold. H2091
16 And they made H6213 two H8147 ouches H4865 of gold, H2091 and two H8147 gold H2091 rings; H2885 and put H5414 the two H8147 rings H2885 in the two H8147 ends H7098 of the breastplate. H2833
17 And they put H5414 the two H8147 wreathen chains H5688 of gold H2091 in the two H8147 rings H2885 on the ends H7098 of the breastplate. H2833
18 And the two H8147 ends H7098 of the two H8147 wreathen H5688 chains H5688 they fastened H5414 in the two H8147 ouches, H4865 and put H5414 them on the shoulderpieces H3802 of the ephod, H646 before H6440 it. H4136
19 And they made H6213 two H8147 rings H2885 of gold, H2091 and put H7760 them on the two H8147 ends H7098 of the breastplate, H2833 upon the border H8193 of it, which was on the side H5676 of the ephod H646 inward. H1004
20 And they made H6213 two H8147 other golden H2091 rings, H2885 and put H5414 them on the two H8147 sides H3802 of the ephod H646 underneath, H4295 toward H4136 the forepart H6440 of it, over against H5980 the other coupling H4225 thereof, above H4605 the curious girdle H2805 of the ephod. H646
21 And they did bind H7405 the breastplate H2833 by his rings H2885 unto the rings H2885 of the ephod H646 with a lace H6616 of blue, H8504 that it might be above the curious girdle H2805 of the ephod, H646 and that the breastplate H2833 might not be loosed H2118 from the ephod; H646 as the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 Moses. H4872
22 And he made H6213 the robe H4598 of the ephod H646 of woven H707 work, H4639 all H3632 of blue. H8504
23 And there was an hole H6310 in the midst H8432 of the robe, H4598 as the hole H6310 of an habergeon, H8473 with a band H8193 round about H5439 the hole, H6310 that it should not rend. H7167
24 And they made H6213 upon the hems H7757 of the robe H4598 pomegranates H7416 of blue, H8504 and purple, H713 and scarlet, H8144 H8438 and twined H7806 linen.
25 And they made H6213 bells H6472 of pure H2889 gold, H2091 and put H5414 the bells H6472 between H8432 the pomegranates H7416 upon the hem H7757 of the robe, H4598 round about H5439 between H8432 the pomegranates; H7416
26 A bell H6472 and a pomegranate, H7416 a bell H6472 and a pomegranate, H7416 round about H5439 the hem H7757 of the robe H4598 to minister H8334 in; as the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 Moses. H4872
27 And they made H6213 coats H3801 of fine linen H8336 of woven H707 work H4639 for Aaron, H175 and for his sons, H1121
28 And a mitre H4701 of fine linen, H8336 and goodly H6287 bonnets H4021 of fine linen, H8336 and linen H906 breeches H4370 of fine twined H7806 linen, H8336
29 And a girdle H73 of fine twined H7806 linen, H8336 and blue, H8504 and purple, H713 and scarlet, H8144 H8438 of needlework; H7551 H4639 as the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 Moses. H4872
30 And they made H6213 the plate H6731 of the holy H6944 crown H5145 of pure H2889 gold, H2091 and wrote H3789 upon it a writing, H4385 like to the engravings H6603 of a signet, H2368 HOLINESS H6944 TO THE LORD. H3068
31 And they tied H5414 unto it a lace H6616 of blue, H8504 to fasten H5414 it on high H4605 upon the mitre; H4701 as the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 Moses. H4872
32 Thus was all the work H5656 of the tabernacle H4908 of the tent H168 of the congregation H4150 finished: H3615 and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 did H6213 according to all that the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 Moses, H4872 so did H6213 they.
33 And they brought H935 the tabernacle H4908 unto Moses, H4872 the tent, H168 and all his furniture, H3627 his taches, H7165 his boards, H7175 his bars, H1280 and his pillars, H5982 and his sockets, H134
34 And the covering H4372 of rams' H352 skins H5785 dyed red, H119 and the covering H4372 of badgers' H8476 skins, H5785 and the vail H6532 of the covering, H4539
35 The ark H727 of the testimony, H5715 and the staves H905 thereof, and the mercy seat, H3727
36 The table, H7979 and all the vessels H3627 thereof, and the shewbread, H6440 H3899
37 The pure H2889 candlestick, H4501 with the lamps H5216 thereof, even with the lamps H5216 to be set in order, H4634 and all the vessels H3627 thereof, and the oil H8081 for light, H3974
38 And the golden H2091 altar, H4196 and the anointing H4888 oil, H8081 and the sweet H5561 incense, H7004 and the hanging H4539 for the tabernacle H168 door, H6607
39 The brasen H5178 altar, H4196 and his grate H4345 of brass, H5178 his staves, H905 and all his vessels, H3627 the laver H3595 and his foot, H3653
40 The hangings H7050 of the court, H2691 his pillars, H5982 and his sockets, H134 and the hanging H4539 for the court H2691 gate, H8179 his cords, H4340 and his pins, H3489 and all the vessels H3627 of the service H5656 of the tabernacle, H4908 for the tent H168 of the congregation, H4150
41 The cloths H899 of service H8278 to do service H8334 in the holy H6944 place, and the holy H6944 garments H899 for Aaron H175 the priest, H3548 and his sons' H1121 garments, H899 to minister in the priest's office. H3547
42 According to all that the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 Moses, H4872 so the children H1121 of Israel H3478 made H6213 all the work. H5656
43 And Moses H4872 did look H7200 upon all H3651 the work, H4399 and, behold, they had done H6213 it as the LORD H3068 had commanded, H6680 even so had they done H6213 it: and Moses H4872 blessed H1288 them.
