Exodus 39
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.

39 Och av det mörkblåa, det purpurröda och det rosenröda garnet gjorde man stickade kläder till tjänsten i helgedomen; och man gjorde de andra heliga kläderna som Aron skulle hava, såsom HERREN hade bjudit Mose.
2 Efoden gjorde man av guld och av mörkblått, purpurrött, rosenrött och tvinnat vitt garn.
3 Man hamrade ut guldet till tunna plåtar och skar dessa i trådar, så att man kunde väva in det i det mörkblåa, det purpurröda, det rosenröda och det vita garnet, med konstvävnad.
4 Till den gjorde man axelstycken, som skulle fästas ihop; vid sina båda ändar fästes den ihop.
5 Och skärpet, som skulle sitta på efoden och sammanhålla den, gjordes i ett stycke med den och av samma slags vävnad: av guld och av mörkblått, purpurrött, rosenrött och tvinnat vitt garn, allt såsom HERREN hade bjudit Mose.
6 Och onyxstenarna omgav man med flätverk av guld; på dem voro Israels söners namn inristade, på samma sätt som man graverar signetringar.
7 Och man satte dem på efodens axelstycken, för att stenarna skulle bringa Israels barn i åminnelse, allt såsom HERREN hade bjudit Mose.
8 Bröstskölden gjorde man i konstvävnad, i samma slags vävnad som efoden: av guld och av mörkblått, purpurrött, rosenrött och tvinnat vitt garn.
9 Bröstskölden gjordes liksidigt fyrkantig, i form av en väska gjorde man den: ett kvarter lång och ett kvarter bred, i form av en väska.
10 Och man besatte den med fyra rader stenar: i första raden en karneol, en topas och en smaragd;
11 i andra raden en karbunkel, en safir och en kalcedon;
12 i tredje raden en hyacint, en agat och en ametist;
13 i fjärde raden en krysolit, en onyx och en jaspis. Med flätverk av guld blevo de omgivna i sina infattningar.
14 Stenarna voro tolv, efter Israels söners namn, en för vart namn; var sten bar namnet på en av de tolv stammarna, inristat på samma sätt som man graverar signetringar.
15 Och man gjorde till bröstskölden kedjor i virat arbete, såsom man gör snodder, av rent guld.
16 Man gjorde vidare två flätverk av guld och två ringar av guld och satte dessa båda ringar i två av bröstsköldens hörn.
17 Och man fäste de båda guldsnodderna vid de båda ringarna, i bröstsköldens hörn.
18 Och de två snoddernas båda andra ändar fäste man vid de två flätverken och fäste dem så vid efodens axelstycken på dess framsida.
19 Och man gjorde två andra ringar av guld och satte dem i bröstsköldens båda andra hörn, vid den kant därpå, som var vänd inåt mot efoden.
20 Och ytterligare gjorde man två ringar av guld och fäste dem vid efodens båda axelstycken, nedtill på dess framsida, där den fästes ihop, ovanför efodens skärp.
21 Och man knöt fast bröstskölden med ett mörkblått snöre, som gick från dess ringar in i efodens ringar, så att den satt ovanför efodens skärp, på det att bröstskölden icke skulle lossna från efoden, allt såsom HERREN hade bjudit Mose.
22 Efodkåpan gjorde man av vävt tyg, helt och hållet mörkblått.
23 Och mitt på kåpan gjordes en öppning, lik öppningen på en pansarskjorta; öppningen omgavs nämligen med en kant, för att den icke skulle slitas sönder.
24 Och på kåpans nedre fåll satte man granatäpplen, gjorda av mörkblått, purpurrött och rosenrött tvinnat garn.
25 Och man gjorde bjällror av rent guld och satte dessa bjällror mellan granatäpplena runt omkring fållen på kåpan, mellan granatäpplena:
26 en bjällra och så ett granatäpple, sedan en bjällra och så åter ett granatäpple, runt omkring fållen på kåpan, att bäras vid tjänstgöringen, såsom HERREN hade bjudit Mose.
27 Och man gjorde åt Aron och hans söner livklädnaderna av vitt garn, i vävt arbete,
28 huvudbindeln av vitt garn, högtidshuvorna av vitt garn och linnebenkläderna av tvinnat vitt garn,
29 äntligen bältet av tvinnat vitt garn och av mörkblått, purpurrött och rosenrött garn, i brokig vävnad, allt såsom HERREN hade bjudit Mose.
30 Och man gjorde plåten till det heliga diademet av rent guld, och på den skrev man, såsom man graverar signetringar: »Helgad åt HERREN.»
31 Och man fäste vid den ett mörkblått snöre och satte den ovanpå huvudbindeln, allt såsom HERREN hade bjudit Mose.
32 Så blev då allt arbetet på uppenbarelsetältets tabernakel fullbordat. Israels barn utförde det; de gjorde i alla stycken såsom HERREN hade bjudit Mose.
33 Och de förde fram till Mose tabernaklet, dess täckelse och alla dess tillbehör, dess häktor, bräder, tvärstänger, stol par och fotstycken,
34 överdraget av rödfärgade vädurskinn och överdraget av tahasskinn och den förlåt som skulle hänga framför arken,
35 vidare vittnesbördets ark med dess stänger, så ock nådastolen,
36 bordet med alla dess tillbehör och skådebröden,
37 den gyllene ljusstaken, lamporna som skulle sättas på den och alla dess andra tillbehör, oljan till ljusstaken,
38 det gyllene altaret, smörjelseoljan och den välluktande rökelsen, förhänget för ingången till tältet,
39 kopparaltaret med tillhörande koppargaller, dess stänger och alla dess tillbehör, bäckenet med dess fotställning.
40 omhängena till förgården, dess stolpar och fotstycken, förhänget för porten till förgården, dess streck och pluggar, alla redskap till arbetet vid uppenbarelsetältets tabernakel
41 äntligen de stickade kläderna till tjänsten i helgedomen och prästen Arons andra heliga kläder, så ock hans söners prästkläder.
42 Såsom HERREN hade bjudit Mose så hade Israels barn i alla stycken gjort allt arbete.
43 Och Mose besåg allt arbetet och fann att de hade utfört det, att de hade gjort såsom HERREN hade bjudit. Och Mose välsignade dem
Exodus 39
English Standard Version
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.
