Éxodo 39
Nueva Biblia de las Américas
Las vestiduras sacerdotales
39 Las vestiduras finamente tejidas para ministrar en el lugar santo se hicieron de tela azul[a], púrpura y escarlata(A), y también se hicieron las vestiduras sagradas para Aarón(B), tal como el Señor había mandado a Moisés.
2 (C)Bezalel hizo el efod de oro, de tela azul, púrpura y escarlata y de lino fino torcido. 3 Y batieron a martillo láminas de oro, y las cortaron en hilos para entretejerlas[b] con la tela azul, púrpura y escarlata y el lino fino, obra de hábil artífice. 4 Hicieron para el efod[c] hombreras que se fijaban al mismo, y lo fijaron sobre sus dos extremos. 5 El cinto hábilmente tejido que estaba sobre el efod, era del mismo material, de la misma hechura: de oro, de tela azul, púrpura y escarlata y de lino fino torcido, tal como el Señor había mandado a Moisés.
6 También labraron las piedras de ónice, montadas en engastes de filigrana de oro. Fueron grabadas como las grabaduras de un sello, con[d] los nombres de los hijos de Israel(D). 7 Bezalel las puso sobre las hombreras del efod, como piedras memoriales para los hijos de Israel(E), tal como el Señor había mandado a Moisés.
8 (F)También hizo el pectoral, obra de hábil artífice como la obra del efod: de oro, de tela azul, púrpura y escarlata, y de lino fino torcido. 9 Era cuadrado y doble. Hicieron el pectoral de un palmo de largo y un palmo de ancho al ser doblado. 10 En él se montaron[e] cuatro hileras de piedras. La primera hilera era una hilera de un rubí, un topacio y una esmeralda; 11 la segunda hilera, una turquesa, un zafiro y un diamante; 12 la tercera hilera, un jacinto, una ágata y una amatista; 13 y la cuarta hilera, un berilo, un ónice y un jaspe. Estaban montadas en engaste de filigrana de oro.
14 Las piedras correspondían a los nombres de los hijos de Israel. Eran doce, conforme a sus nombres, grabadas como las grabaduras de un sello, cada una con su nombre conforme a las doce tribus. 15 Para el pectoral se hicieron cadenillas de oro puro en forma[f] de cordones trenzados.
16 Se hicieron también dos engastes de filigrana de oro y dos anillos de oro, y se pusieron los dos anillos en los dos extremos del pectoral. 17 Los dos cordones de oro se pusieron en los anillos al extremo del pectoral, 18 y se colocaron los otros dos extremos de los dos cordones en los dos engastes de filigrana, y los fijaron en las hombreras del efod en su parte delantera.
19 Hicieron otros dos anillos de oro y los colocaron en los dos extremos del pectoral, en el borde que da al lado interior del efod. 20 También hicieron otros dos anillos de oro, y los pusieron en la parte inferior de las dos hombreras del efod, delante, cerca de su unión, sobre el cinto tejido del efod. 21 Ataron el pectoral por sus anillos a los anillos del efod con un cordón azul, para que estuviera sobre el cinto tejido del efod y para que el pectoral no se desprendiera del efod, tal como el Señor había mandado a Moisés.
22 (G)Entonces Bezalel hizo el manto del efod de obra tejida, todo de tela azul. 23 La abertura del manto estaba en el centro, como la abertura de una cota de malla, con una orla todo alrededor de la abertura para que no se rompiera. 24 En el borde inferior del manto se hicieron granadas de tela azul, púrpura y escarlata y de lino torcido. 25 Hicieron también campanillas de oro puro, y pusieron las campanillas entre las granadas alrededor de todo el borde del manto[g], 26 alternando una campanilla[h] y una granada alrededor de todo el borde del manto para el servicio, tal como el Señor había mandado a Moisés.
27 (H)Para Aarón y sus hijos hicieron las túnicas de lino fino tejido, 28 la tiara de lino fino, los adornos de las mitras de lino fino, los calzoncillos de lino, de lino fino torcido, 29 y el cinturón de lino fino torcido, de azul, púrpura y escarlata, obra de tejedor[i], tal como el Señor había mandado a Moisés.
30 (I)La lámina de la diadema santa la hicieron de oro puro, y grabaron en ella como la grabadura[j] de un sello: Santidad[k] al Señor. 31 Y le pusieron un cordón azul para sujetarla[l] sobre la tiara por arriba, tal como el Señor había mandado a Moisés.
32 (J)Así fue acabada toda la obra del tabernáculo[m] de la tienda de reunión. Los israelitas hicieron conforme a todo lo que el Señor había mandado a Moisés. Así lo hicieron.
La obra presentada a Moisés
33 Entonces trajeron el tabernáculo a Moisés, la tienda con todo su mobiliario[n]: sus broches, sus tablas, sus barras, sus columnas y sus basas; 34 la cubierta de pieles de carnero teñidas de[o] rojo, la cubierta de pieles de marsopa y el velo de separación; 35 el arca del testimonio, sus varas y el propiciatorio; 36 la mesa, todos sus utensilios y el pan de la Presencia[p]; 37 el candelabro de oro puro con su conjunto de lámparas[q] y todos sus utensilios, y el aceite para el alumbrado; 38 el altar de oro, el aceite de la unción, el incienso aromático y la cortina para la entrada de la tienda; 39 el altar de bronce[r] con su enrejado de bronce[s], sus varas y todos sus utensilios, la pila y su base; 40 las cortinas del atrio con sus columnas y sus basas, la cortina para la entrada del atrio, sus cuerdas, sus estacas y todos los utensilios del servicio del tabernáculo de la tienda de reunión; 41 las vestiduras tejidas para ministrar en el lugar santo y las vestiduras sagradas para el sacerdote Aarón y las vestiduras de sus hijos para ministrar como sacerdotes.
42 Los israelitas hicieron toda la obra conforme a todo lo que el Señor había ordenado a Moisés. 43 Y Moisés examinó[t] toda la obra, y vio que la habían llevado a cabo. Tal como el Señor había ordenado, así la habían hecho. Y Moisés los bendijo(K).

New King James Version
Making the Garments of the Priesthood(A)
39 Of the (B)blue, purple, and scarlet thread they made (C)garments[a] of ministry, for ministering in the [b]holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron, (D)as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Making the Ephod
2 (E)He made the (F)ephod of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and of fine woven linen. 3 And they beat the gold into thin sheets and cut it into threads, to work it in with the blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and the fine linen, into artistic designs. 4 They made shoulder straps for it to couple it together; it was coupled together at its two edges. 5 And the intricately woven band of his ephod that was on it was of the same workmanship, woven of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and of fine woven linen, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
6 (G)And they set onyx stones, enclosed in [c]settings of gold; they were engraved, as signets are engraved, with the names of the sons of Israel. 7 He put them on the shoulders of the ephod as (H)memorial stones for the sons of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Making the Breastplate
8 (I)And he made the breastplate, artistically woven like the workmanship of the ephod, of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and of fine woven linen. 9 They made the breastplate square by doubling it; a span was its length and a span its width when doubled. 10 (J)And they set in it four rows of stones: a row with a sardius, a topaz, and an emerald was the first row; 11 the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond; 12 the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; 13 the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in settings of gold in their mountings. 14 There were (K)twelve stones according to the names of the sons of Israel: according to their names, engraved like a signet, each one with its own name according to the twelve tribes. 15 And they made chains for the breastplate at the ends, like braided cords of pure gold. 16 They also made two settings of gold and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. 17 And they put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate. 18 The two ends of the two braided chains they fastened in the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod in the front. 19 And they made two rings of gold and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it, which was on the inward side of the ephod. 20 They made two other gold rings and put them on the two shoulder straps, underneath the ephod toward its front, right at the seam above the intricately woven band of the ephod. 21 And they bound the breastplate by means of its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue cord, so that it would be above the intricately woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate would not come loose from the ephod, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Making the Other Priestly Garments
22 (L)He made the (M)robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue. 23 And there was an opening in the middle of the robe, like the opening in a coat of mail, with a woven binding all around the opening, so that it would not tear. 24 They made on the hem of the robe pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet, and of fine woven linen. 25 And they made (N)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 [d]minister in, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
27 (O)They made tunics, artistically woven of fine linen, for Aaron and his sons, 28 (P)a turban of fine linen, exquisite hats of fine linen, (Q)short trousers of fine woven linen, 29 (R)and a sash of fine woven linen with blue, purple, and scarlet thread, made by a weaver, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
30 (S)Then they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote on it an inscription like the engraving of a signet:
(T)HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
31 And they tied to it a blue cord, to fasten it above on the turban, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
The Work Completed(U)
32 Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was (V)finished. And the children of Israel did (W)according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses; so they did. 33 And they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its furnishings: its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets; 34 the covering of ram skins dyed red, the covering of badger skins, and the veil of the covering; 35 the ark of the Testimony with its poles, and the mercy seat; 36 the table, all its utensils, and the (X)showbread; 37 the pure gold lampstand with its lamps (the lamps set in order), all its utensils, and the oil for light; 38 the gold altar, the anointing oil, and the sweet incense; the screen for the tabernacle door; 39 the bronze altar, its grate of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils; the laver with its base; 40 the hangings of the court, its pillars and its sockets, the screen for the court gate, its cords, and its pegs; all the utensils for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting; 41 and the [e]garments of ministry, to [f]minister in the holy place: the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons’ garments, to minister as priests.
42 According to all that the Lord had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel (Y)did all the work. 43 Then Moses looked over all the work, and indeed they had done it; as the Lord had commanded, just so they had done it. And Moses (Z)blessed them.

The Priestly Garments
39 From the blue, purple and scarlet yarn(A) they made woven garments for ministering in the sanctuary.(B) They also made sacred garments(C) for Aaron, as the Lord commanded Moses.
The Ephod(D)
2 They[a] made the ephod of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen. 3 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 They made shoulder pieces for the ephod, which were attached to two of its corners, so it could be fastened. 5 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 onyx stones in gold filigree settings and engraved them like a seal with the names of the sons of Israel. 7 Then they fastened them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial(E) stones for the sons of Israel, as the Lord commanded Moses.
The Breastpiece(F)
8 They fashioned the breastpiece(G)—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 It was square—a span[b] long and a span wide—and folded double. 10 Then they mounted four rows of precious stones on it. The first row was carnelian, chrysolite and beryl; 11 the second row was turquoise, lapis lazuli and emerald; 12 the third row was jacinth, agate and amethyst; 13 the fourth row was topaz, onyx and jasper.[c] They were mounted in gold filigree settings. 14 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.(H)
15 For the breastpiece they made braided chains of pure gold, like a rope. 16 They made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings, and fastened the rings to two of the corners of the breastpiece. 17 They fastened the two gold chains to the rings at the corners of the breastpiece, 18 and the other ends of the chains to the two settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front. 19 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 bottom of the shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod, close to the seam just above the waistband of the ephod. 21 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.
Other Priestly Garments(I)
22 They made the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth—the work of a weaver— 23 with an opening in the center of the robe like the opening of a collar,[d] and a band around this opening, so that it would not tear. 24 They made pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen around the hem of the robe. 25 And they made bells of pure gold and attached them around the hem between the pomegranates. 26 The bells and pomegranates alternated around the hem of the robe to be worn for ministering, as the Lord commanded Moses.
27 For Aaron and his sons, they made tunics of fine linen(J)—the work of a weaver— 28 and the turban(K) of fine linen, the linen caps and the undergarments of finely twisted linen. 29 The sash was made of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn—the work of an embroiderer—as the Lord commanded Moses.
30 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.(L) 31 Then they fastened a blue cord to it to attach it to the turban,(M) as the Lord commanded Moses.
Moses Inspects the Tabernacle(N)
32 So all the work on the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, was completed. The Israelites did everything just as the Lord commanded Moses.(O) 33 Then they brought the tabernacle(P) to Moses: the tent and all its furnishings, its clasps, frames, crossbars, posts and bases; 34 the covering of ram skins dyed red and the covering of another durable leather[e] and the shielding curtain; 35 the ark of the covenant law(Q) with its poles and the atonement cover; 36 the table(R) with all its articles and the bread of the Presence;(S) 37 the pure gold lampstand(T) with its row of lamps and all its accessories,(U) and the olive oil(V) for the light; 38 the gold altar,(W) the anointing oil,(X) the fragrant incense,(Y) and the curtain(Z) for the entrance to the tent; 39 the bronze altar(AA) with its bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils; the basin(AB) with its stand; 40 the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard;(AC) the ropes and tent pegs for the courtyard; all the furnishings for the tabernacle, the tent of meeting; 41 and the woven garments(AD) worn for ministering in the sanctuary, both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when serving as priests.
42 The Israelites had done all the work just as the Lord had commanded Moses.(AE) 43 Moses inspected the work and saw that they had done it just as the Lord had commanded.(AF) So Moses blessed(AG) them.

Making the Priestly Garments
39 From the (A)blue and purple and scarlet yarns they made (B)finely woven garments,[a] for ministering in the Holy Place. They made the holy garments for Aaron, (C)as the Lord had commanded Moses.
2 (D)He made the ephod of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen. 3 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. 4 They made for the ephod attaching shoulder pieces, joined to it at its two edges. 5 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.
6 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. 7 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.
8 (E)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. 9 It was square. They made the breastpiece doubled, a span[b] its length and a span its breadth when doubled. 10 And they set in it four rows of stones. A row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle was the first row; 11 and the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond; 12 and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; 13 and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in settings of gold filigree. 14 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. 15 And they made on the breastpiece twisted chains like cords, of pure gold. 16 And they made two settings of gold filigree and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two edges of the breastpiece. 17 And they put the two cords of gold in the two rings at the edges of the breastpiece. 18 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. 19 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. 20 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. 21 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.
22 (F)He also made the robe of the ephod woven all of blue, 23 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. 24 On the hem of the robe they made pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. 25 They also made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates all around the hem of the robe, between the pomegranates— 26 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate around the hem of the robe for ministering, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
27 (G)They also made the coats, woven of fine (H)linen, for Aaron and his sons, 28 and the (I)turban of fine linen, and the caps of fine linen, and the linen undergarments of fine twined linen, 29 and the sash of fine twined linen and of blue and purple and scarlet yarns, embroidered with needlework, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
30 (J)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.” 31 And they tied to it a cord of blue to fasten it on the turban above, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
32 Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was finished, and the people of Israel did (K)according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses; so they did. 33 Then they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its utensils, its hooks, its frames, its bars, its pillars, and its bases; 34 the covering of tanned rams' skins and goatskins, and the (L)veil of the screen; 35 the ark of the testimony with its poles and the mercy seat; 36 the table with all its utensils, and the bread of the Presence; 37 (M)the lampstand of pure gold and its lamps with the lamps set and all its utensils, and the oil for the light; 38 (N)the golden altar, the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and (O)the screen for the entrance of the tent; 39 the bronze altar, and its grating of bronze, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin and its stand; 40 (P)the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its bases, and the (Q)screen for the gate of the court, its (R)cords, and its pegs; and all the utensils for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting; 41 the finely worked garments for ministering in the Holy Place, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons for their service as priests. 42 (S)According to all that the Lord had commanded Moses, so the people of Israel had done all the work. 43 And Moses saw all the work, and behold, they had done it; as the Lord had commanded, so had they done it. Then Moses (T)blessed them.
