Éxodo 39
Reina Valera Actualizada
El efod
39 Hicieron las vestiduras tejidas de material azul, de púrpura y de carmesí, para servir en el santuario. Hicieron las vestiduras sagradas para Aarón, como el SEÑOR había mandado a Moisés.
2 Hicieron[a] el efod de oro, de material azul, de púrpura, de carmesí y de lino torcido. 3 Extendieron láminas de oro e hicieron[b] hilos para tejerlos junto con el material azul, la púrpura, el carmesí y el lino, obra de fina artesanía. 4 Le hicieron hombreras que se juntaban sobre él en sus dos extremos, para poderse unir. 5 Su ceñidor para ajustar el efod, el cual está sobre este, era de la misma hechura y de los mismos materiales: oro, azul, púrpura, carmesí y lino torcido, como el SEÑOR había mandado a Moisés. 6 Labraron las piedras de ónice con engastes de oro alrededor. Fueron grabadas con grabadura de sello, con los nombres de los hijos de Israel. 7 Y las pusieron[c] sobre las hombreras del efod, como piedras para recordar a los hijos de Israel, como el SEÑOR había mandado a Moisés.
El pectoral del juicio
8 Hicieron[d] también el pectoral, obra de fina artesanía como la hechura del efod: de oro, de material azul, de púrpura, de carmesí y de lino torcido. 9 Era cuadrado y plegado; hicieron el pectoral de veintidós centímetros de largo y de veintidós centímetros de ancho, plegado. 10 Engastaron en él cuatro hileras de piedras: La primera hilera tenía un rubí, un topacio y un berilo. 11 La segunda hilera tenía una turquesa, un zafiro y un diamante. 12 La tercera hilera tenía un jacinto, un ágata y una amatista. 13 La cuarta hilera tenía un crisólito, un ónice y un jaspe. Estas piedras estaban montadas en engastes de oro. 14 Estas piedras correspondían a los nombres de los hijos de Israel; eran doce como sus nombres. Correspondían a las doce tribus, como grabaduras de sello, cada una con su nombre.
15 Hicieron también sobre el pectoral las cadenillas trenzadas como cordón, de oro puro. 16 Asimismo, hicieron los dos engastes de oro y los dos anillos de oro, y pusieron los anillos en los dos extremos del pectoral. 17 Metieron los dos cordones de oro en los dos anillos en los extremos del pectoral, 18 y fijaron los dos extremos de los dos cordones en los dos engastes y los fijaron sobre las hombreras del efod, en su parte delantera.
19 Hicieron otros dos anillos de oro que pusieron en los dos extremos del pectoral, en el borde que está al lado interior del efod. 20 Hicieron otros dos anillos de oro y los fijaron en la parte inferior de las dos hombreras del efod, en su parte delantera, frente a su unión sobre el ceñidor del efod. 21 Después ataron el pectoral por sus anillos a los anillos del efod con un cordón azul, para que estuviera sobre el ceñidor del efod y para que el pectoral no se desprendiera del efod, como el SEÑOR había mandado a Moisés.
La túnica del efod
22 Hizo también la túnica del efod, obra de tejedor, toda de material azul. 23 La túnica tenía una abertura en medio de ella como abertura de coraza de cuero, con un borde alrededor de la abertura, para que no se rompiera. 24 En los bordes inferiores de la túnica hicieron las granadas de material azul, de púrpura, de carmesí y de lino torcido. 25 También hicieron las campanillas de oro puro, y las pusieron entre las granadas alrededor de los bordes de la túnica: 26 campanilla y granada, luego campanilla y granada, alrededor de los bordes de la túnica, para servir, como el SEÑOR había mandado a Moisés.
Otras vestiduras sacerdotales
27 También hicieron para Aarón y sus hijos el vestido de lino, obra de tejedor. 28 Hicieron de lino el turbante y los adornos de los otros turbantes. Y los pantalones fueron hechos de lino torcido. 29 También el cinturón era de lino torcido, de material azul, de púrpura y de carmesí, obra de bordador, como el SEÑOR había mandado a Moisés.
30 Asimismo, hicieron de oro puro una lámina en forma de flor para la diadema sagrada, y con grabadura de sello inscribieron en ella: “Consagrado al SEÑOR”. 31 Sobre ella pusieron un cordón azul, para colocarla en alto sobre el turbante, como el SEÑOR había mandado a Moisés.
Los artesanos presentan su labor
32 Así fue acabada toda la obra de la morada, el tabernáculo de reunión. Los hijos de Israel hicieron conforme a todo lo que el SEÑOR había mandado a Moisés; así lo hicieron. 33 Llevaron a Moisés el tabernáculo, la tienda y todos sus accesorios: sus ganchos, sus tablones, sus travesaños, sus pilares, sus bases, 34 la cubierta de pieles de carneros teñidas de rojo, la cubierta de pieles finas, el velo de separación; 35 el arca del testimonio, sus varas y el propiciatorio; 36 la mesa con todos sus utensilios y el pan de la Presencia; 37 el candelabro de oro puro, su hilera de lámparas y todos sus utensilios; el aceite para la iluminación; 38 el altar de oro, el aceite de la unción, el incienso aromático, la cortina de la entrada del tabernáculo; 39 el altar de bronce con su rejilla de bronce, sus varas y todos sus utensilios; la fuente y su base, 40 las mamparas del atrio, sus pilares, sus bases, la cortina de la entrada del atrio, sus cuerdas, sus estacas y todos los utensilios para el servicio en la morada, el tabernáculo de reunión; 41 las vestiduras de material tejido, para servir en el santuario, las vestiduras sagradas para el sacerdote Aarón y las vestiduras de sus hijos, para servir como sacerdotes. 42 Los hijos de Israel hicieron todo el trabajo conforme a todo lo que el SEÑOR había mandado a Moisés.
43 Moisés vio toda la obra, y he aquí que la habían hecho como el SEÑOR había mandado; así la habían hecho. Y Moisés los bendijo.

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.

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.
