出埃及記 39
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
祭司的衣服
39 比撒列按照耶和華對摩西的吩咐,用藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線精工製作在聖所供職時穿的禮服,又為亞倫製作聖衣。 2 用金線和細麻線及藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線精工製作以弗得, 3 把金子打成薄片,剪成細線,與細麻線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線巧妙地織在一起。 4 他做了兩條肩帶,固定在以弗得兩邊,用來連接以弗得。 5 又按耶和華對摩西的吩咐,照以弗得的做法用金線和細麻線及藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線精工製作腰帶,縫在以弗得上。 6 他選了兩塊紅瑪瑙,用刻圖章的方法刻上以色列十二個兒子的名字,鑲在兩個金框裡, 7 再縫在以弗得的兩條肩帶上,作以色列人的紀念石。這些都是照耶和華對摩西的吩咐做的。
8 他精工製作胸牌,與以弗得一樣用金線和細麻線及藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線織成。 9 胸牌呈正方形,疊成兩層,長寬各二十二釐米。 10 上面鑲上四行寶石:第一行是紅寶石、黃玉和翠玉; 11 第二行是綠寶石、藍寶石和金剛石; 12 第三行是紫瑪瑙、白瑪瑙和紫晶; 13 第四行是水蒼玉、紅瑪瑙和碧玉。以上四行寶石都鑲在胸牌的金框內。 14 他用刻圖章的方法,在十二顆寶石上刻上以色列兒子的名字,代表以色列的十二支派。
15 他用純金擰成兩條像繩子一樣的鏈子,連在胸牌上, 16 又造兩個金框和兩個金環,把金環安在胸牌兩端。 17 把兩條金鏈分別穿在兩個金環裡, 18 又把兩條金鏈的另一端分別連在以弗得前面肩帶的兩個金框上。 19 在靠近以弗得內側、胸牌下面的兩端造了兩個金環。 20 在以弗得肩帶下端、接近腰帶的地方又造了兩個金環。 21 用一條藍色的帶子繫住以弗得和胸牌上面的金環,使胸牌貼在精工織成的以弗得腰帶上,不會從以弗得上鬆脫。這些都是照耶和華對摩西的吩咐做的。
22 以弗得的外袍用純藍色的線織成, 23 上面有領口,領口上織領邊,像鎧甲上的領口一樣,免得領口破裂。 24 外袍的底邊用細麻線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線做成石榴狀的飾物, 25 又造純金的鈴鐺掛在外袍底邊的石榴間, 26 一個石榴一個金鈴鐺,相間排列,圍在外袍的底邊。這件外袍是祭司供職時穿的,正如耶和華對摩西的吩咐。
27 他用細麻布為亞倫父子們縫製內袍、 28 禮冠、頭巾和褲子, 29 還用細麻線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線繡製腰帶。這是照耶和華對摩西的吩咐做的。 30 又用純金造了牌子,就是聖冠,上面用刻圖章的方法刻上「奉獻給耶和華」的字樣, 31 然後用一條藍色的帶子把這個牌子繫在禮冠上。這些都是照耶和華對摩西的吩咐做的。
聖幕完工
32 聖幕,就是會幕的工作就這樣全部完成了,都是以色列人照耶和華對摩西的吩咐做的。 33 他們把聖幕和各樣器具都送到摩西那裡,即鉤子、木板、橫閂、柱子、帶凹槽的底座; 34 海狗皮頂蓋、遮掩約櫃的幔子、染成紅色的公羊皮蓋; 35 約櫃、抬約櫃的橫杠、施恩座; 36 桌子、桌上的一切器具和供餅; 37 純金的燈臺、燈盞、燈臺的一切器具、燈油; 38 金壇、膏油、芬芳的香;會幕的門簾; 39 銅祭壇、祭壇的銅網、抬祭壇的橫杠、祭壇用的一切器具、洗濯盆和盆座; 40 院子的帷幔、柱子、帶凹槽的底座、院子入口的門簾、繩子、橛子和會幕,即聖幕所需的一切器具; 41 在聖所供職時穿的精製禮服、亞倫祭司的聖衣及其眾子供祭司之職時穿的衣服。 42 這一切都是以色列人照耶和華對摩西的吩咐做的。 43 摩西察看這一切工作,見他們都是按照耶和華的吩咐做的,就給他們祝福。

Clothes for the Priests
39 They used blue, purple and red thread to make woven clothes for the priests. They were to wear these when they served in the Holy Place. They also made the holy clothes for Aaron as the Lord had commanded Moses.
2 They made the holy vest of gold and blue, purple and red thread, and fine linen. 3 They hammered the gold into sheets. Then they cut the gold into long, thin strips. They worked the gold into the blue, purple and red thread, and fine linen. This was done by a skilled craftsman. 4 They made the shoulder straps for the holy vest. These straps were attached to the top corners of the vest. Then the shoulder straps were tied together over each shoulder. 5 The skillfully woven belt was made in the same way. It was joined to the holy vest as one piece. It was made of gold and blue, purple and red thread, and fine linen. It was made the way the Lord commanded Moses.
6 They put gold around the onyx stones. Then they wrote the names of the sons of Israel on these gems. They did that as a person carves words and designs on a seal. 7 Then they attached the gems on the shoulder straps of the holy vest. These gems are reminders of the 12 sons of Israel. This was done the way the Lord had commanded Moses.
8 The skilled craftsmen made the chest covering. It was made like the holy vest. It was made of gold and blue, purple and red thread, and fine linen. 9 The chest covering was square, nine inches long and nine inches wide. It was folded double to make a pocket. 10 Then they put four rows of beautiful jewels on it. In the first row there was a ruby, a topaz and a yellow quartz. 11 In the second row there was a turquoise, a sapphire and an emerald. 12 In the third row there was a jacinth, an agate and an amethyst. 13 In the fourth row there was a chrysolite, an onyx and a jasper. Gold was put around these jewels to attach them to the chest covering. 14 The names of the sons of Israel were carved on these 12 jewels as a person carves a seal. Each jewel had the name of 1 of the 12 tribes of Israel.
15 They made chains of pure gold for the chest covering. They were twisted together like a rope. 16 The workers made two gold pieces and two gold rings. They put the two gold rings on the two upper corners of the chest covering. 17 Then they put two gold chains in the two rings. These are at the ends of the chest covering. 18 They fastened the other two ends of the chains to the two gold pieces. Then they attached these gold pieces to the two shoulder straps in the front of the holy vest. 19 They made two more gold rings and put them at the lower corners of the chest covering. They put them on the inside edge next to the holy vest. 20 Then they made two more gold rings on the bottom of the shoulder straps in front of the holy vest. These rings were near the seam, just above the woven belt of the holy vest. 21 They used a blue ribbon and tied the rings of the chest covering to the rings of the holy vest. This connected it to the woven belt. In this way the chest covering would not swing out from the holy vest. They did all these things the way the Lord commanded.
22 Then they made the outer robe to be worn under the holy vest. It was woven of blue cloth. 23 They made a hole in the center of the outer robe. A woven collar was sewn around this hole so it would not tear. 24 Then they made balls like pomegranates of blue, purple and red thread, and fine linen. They hung them around the bottom of the outer robe. 25 They also made bells of pure gold. They hung these around the bottom of the outer robe between the balls. 26 So around the bottom of the outer robe there was a bell and a pomegranate ball, a bell and a pomegranate ball. The priest wore this outer robe when he served as priest, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
27 They wove inner robes of fine linen for Aaron and his sons. 28 And they made turbans and underclothes of fine linen. 29 Then they made the cloth belt of fine linen and blue, purple and red thread. Designs were sewn onto the cloth. These things were made as the Lord had commanded Moses.
30 They made a strip of pure gold, which is the holy crown. They carved these words in the gold: “Holy to the Lord.” They did it as one might carve on a seal. 31 Then they tied this flat piece to the turban with a blue ribbon. This was done as the Lord had commanded Moses.
32 So all the work on the Meeting Tent was finished. The Israelites did everything just as the Lord had commanded Moses. 33 Then they brought the Holy Tent to Moses: the Tent and all its furniture, hooks, frames, crossbars, posts and bases; 34 the covering made of male sheep skins colored red, the covering made of fine leather and the curtain that covered the entrance to the Most Holy Place; 35 the Ark of the Covenant, its poles and lid; 36 the table, all its containers and the bread that showed they were in God’s presence; 37 the pure gold lampstand with its lamps in a row, all its tools and the olive oil for the light; 38 the gold altar, the special olive oil used for appointing priests, the sweet-smelling incense, and the curtain that covered the entrance to the Tent; 39 the bronze altar and its screen, its poles and all its tools, the bowl and its stand; 40 the curtains for the courtyard with their posts and bases, the curtain that covered the entry to the courtyard, the cords, pegs and all the things in the Meeting Tent. 41 They brought the clothes for the priests to wear when they served in the Holy Tent: the holy clothes for Aaron the priest and the clothes for his sons. They wore these when they served as priests.
42 The Israelites had done all this work just as the Lord had commanded Moses. 43 Moses looked closely at all the work. He saw they had done it just as the Lord had commanded. So Moses blessed them.
Exodus 39
New International Version
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.
