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)

They[a] made the ephod of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen. 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. They made shoulder pieces for the ephod, which were attached to two of its corners, so it could be fastened. 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.

They mounted the onyx stones in gold filigree settings and engraved them like a seal with the names of the sons of Israel. 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)

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. 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.

The Priestly Garments

39 Now from the [a](A)violet, purple, and scarlet material they made finely (B)woven garments for ministering in the Holy Place, [b]as well as the holy garments which were for Aaron, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

(C)He made the ephod of gold and of violet, purple, and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen. Then they hammered out gold sheets and cut them into threads [c]to be woven in with the violet, the purple, and the scarlet material, and the fine linen, the work of a skilled embroiderer. They made attaching shoulder pieces for [d]the ephod; it was attached at its two upper ends. And the skillfully woven band of its overlay which was on it was like its workmanship, [e]of the same material: of gold and of violet, purple, and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

(D)They also made the onyx stones, set in gold filigree settings; they were engraved like the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the sons of Israel. And (E)he placed them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

And (F)he made the breastpiece, the work of a skilled embroiderer, like the workmanship of the ephod: of gold and of violet, purple, and scarlet material and fine twisted linen. It was square; they made the breastpiece folded double, a [f]span [g]long and a span [h]wide when folded double. 10 And they [i]mounted four rows of stones on it. The first row was a row of ruby, topaz, and emerald; 11 and the second row, a turquoise, 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 set in gold filigree settings when they were [j]mounted. 14 The stones corresponded to the names of the sons of Israel; they were twelve, corresponding to their names, engraved with the engravings of a signet, each with its name for the twelve tribes. 15 And they made for the breastpiece chains like cords, work of twisted cords of pure gold. 16 They made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastpiece. 17 Then they put the two gold cords in the two rings at the ends of the breastpiece. 18 And they put the other two ends of the two cords on the two filigree settings, and put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front of it. 19 They made two gold rings and placed them on the two ends of the breastpiece, on its inner edge which was next to the ephod. 20 Furthermore, they made two gold rings and placed them on the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, on the front of it, close to the place where it joined, above the woven band of the ephod. 21 And they bound the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a violet cord, so that it would be on the woven band of the ephod, and that the breastpiece would not come loose from the ephod, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

22 (G)Then he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of violet; 23 (H)and the opening of the robe was at the top in the center, as the opening of a coat of mail, with a binding all around its opening, so that it would not be torn. 24 And they made pomegranates of violet, purple, and scarlet material and twisted linen on the hem of the robe. 25 They also made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates all around on the hem of the [k]robe, 26 [l]alternating a bell and a pomegranate all around on the hem of the robe for the service, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

27 (I)They also made the tunics of finely woven linen for Aaron and his sons, 28 and the turban of fine linen, and the decorated [m]caps of fine linen, and the linen undergarments of fine twisted linen, 29 and the sash of fine twisted linen, and violet, purple, and scarlet material, the work of the [n]weaver, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

30 (J)They also made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and [o]inscribed it like the engravings of a signet, “Holy to the Lord.” 31 Then they [p]fastened a violet cord to it, to [q]fasten it on the turban above, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

32 So all the work of the [r]tabernacle of the tent of meeting was completed; and the sons of Israel did 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 [s]furnishings: its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its bases; 34 and the covering of rams’ skins [t]dyed red, and the covering of [u]fine leather, and the covering curtain; 35 the ark of the testimony, its poles, and the [v]atoning cover; 36 the table, all its utensils, and the bread of the [w]Presence; 37 the pure gold lampstand, [x]with its arrangement of lamps and all its utensils, and the oil for the light; 38 and the gold altar, and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the curtain for the doorway of the tent; 39 the [y]bronze altar and its [z]bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils, the basin and its stand; 40 the hangings for the courtyard, its pillars and its bases, and the curtain for the gate of the courtyard, its ropes and its pegs, and all the [aa]equipment for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting; 41 the woven garments for ministering in the Holy Place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to serve as priests. 42 So the sons of Israel did all the work according to everything that the Lord had commanded Moses. 43 And Moses [ab]examined all the work, and behold, they had done it; just as the Lord had commanded, this they had done. So Moses (K)blessed them.

39 At (A)sa kayong bughaw, at kulay-ube, at pula, ay gumawa sila ng (B)mga kasuutang mainam ang pagkayari upang gamitin sa pangangasiwa sa dakong banal, at ginawang mga banal na kasuutan kay Aaron; (C)gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

Ang paggagawa ng epod, pektoral, at ng balabal.

(D)At kaniyang ginawa ang epod na ginto, na kayong bughaw, at kulay-ube, at pula, at linong pinili.

At kanilang pinukpok ang ginto na pinanipis na pahaba at pinutol na ginawang kawad na ginto, upang itahi sa kayong bughaw, at sa kulay-ube, at sa pula, at sa lino na gawa ng bihasang manggagawa.

Kanilang iginawa ng mga pangbalikat, na nagkakasugpong: sa dalawang dulo ay nagkakasugpong.

At ang mainam na pagkayaring pamigkis, na nasa ibabaw ng epod upang ibigkis, ay kaputol at gaya ng pagkayari ng epod; na ginto, at kayong bughaw, at kulay-ube, at pula, linong pinili; gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

At kanilang ginawa ang mga batong onix na pinamutihan ng kalupkop na ginto, na ayos ukit ng isang panatak, ayon sa mga pangalan ng mga anak ni Israel.

At kaniyang inilagay sa ibabaw ng pangbalikat ng epod upang maging mga batong (E)pinakaalaala sa ikagagaling ng mga anak ni Israel; gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

At kaniyang ginawa ang pektoral, na gawa ng bihasang manggagawa, gaya ng pagkayari ng epod; na ginto, at kayong bughaw, at kulay-ube, at pula, at linong pinili.

Parisukat; kanilang ginawang nakatiklop ang pektoral: isang dangkal ang luwang niyaon, pagka nakatiklop.

10 (F)At kanilang kinalupkupan ng apat na hanay na sarisaring bato: isang hanay ay sardio, topacio, at karbungko na siyang unang hanay.

11 At ang ikalawang hanay, ay isang esmeralda, isang zafiro, at isang diamante.

12 At ang ikatlong hanay, ay isang jacinto, isang agata, at isang ametista.

13 At ang ikaapat na hanay ay isang berilo, isang onix, at isang jaspe; na mga natatakpan ng mga pamuting ginto sa kanilang mga pagkakakalupkop.

14 At ang mga bato ay ayon sa mga pangalan ng mga anak ni Israel, labingdalawa, ayon sa kanilang mga pangalan; na ayos ukit ng isang panatak; bawa't isa'y ayon sa kaniyang pangalan, na ukol sa labingdalawang lipi.

15 At kanilang iginawa ang pektoral ng mga tanikalang parang tirintas na ayos pinili na taganas na ginto.

16 At sila'y gumawa ng dalawang pangkalupkop na ginto, at ng dalawang singsing na ginto; at inilagay ang dalawang singsing sa dalawang dulo ng pektoral.

17 At kanilang ikinabit ang dalawang tanikalang pinili na ginto sa dalawang singsing sa mga sulok ng pektoral.

18 At ang ibang dalawang dulo ng dalawang tanikalang ayos singsing ay kanilang ikinabit sa dalawang pangkalupkop, at mga ikinabit sa mga pangbalikat ng epod sa dakong harapan niyaon.

19 At sila'y gumawa ng ibang dalawang singsing na ginto, at mga inilagay sa dalawang sulok ng pektoral sa gilid niyaon, na nasa dakong kabaligtaran ng epod.

20 At sila'y gumawa ng dalawang singsing na ginto, at mga ikinabit sa dalawang pangbalikat ng epod sa dakong ibaba, sa may harapan, na malapit sa pagkakasugpong, sa ibabaw ng mainam na pagkayaring pamigkis ng epod.

21 At kanilang itinali ang pektoral sa pamamagitan ng mga singsing, sa mga singsing ng epod ng isang panaling bughaw upang mamalagi sa ibabaw ng mainam na pagkayaring pamigkis ng epod; (G)gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

22 At kaniyang ginawa ang balabal ng epod na yari ng manghahabi, na taganas na bughaw;

23 At ang butas ng balabal ay nasa gitna niyaon na gaya ng leeg ng isang koselete, na may isang uriang tinahi sa palibot ng pinakaleeg upang huwag mapunit.

24 At kanilang ginawan ang mga ribete ng balabal ng mga granadang kayong bughaw, at kulay-ube, at pula, at linong pinili.

25 At sila'y gumawa ng mga kampanilyang taganas na ginto, at inilagay ang mga kampanilya sa pagitan ng mga granada sa ibabaw ng ribete ng balabal sa palibot, sa pagitan ng mga granada;

26 Isang kampanilya at isang granada, isang kampanilya at isang granada, sa ibabaw ng ribete ng balabal sa palibot, upang ipangasiwa (H)gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

27 (I)At kanilang ginawa ang mga tunika na lino na yaring hinabi para kay Aaron, at sa kaniyang mga anak,

28 At ang mitra na lino, at ang mga mainam na tiara na lino, at ang mga salawal na lino na kayong pinili na lino,

29 At ang bigkis na linong pinili, at kayong bughaw at kulay-ube, at pula, na gawa ng mangbuburda; gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

30 (J)At kanilang ginawa ang lamina ng banal na korona na taganas na ginto, at sinulatan ng isang titik na ayos ukit ng isang panatak, Banal sa Panginoon.

31 At kanilang tinalian ng isang panaling bughaw, upang ilapat sa ibabaw ng mitra; gaya ng iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises.

Sinuri ni Moises ang kayarian.

32 Gayon natapos ang buong gawa sa tabernakulo ng kapisanan: (K)at ginawa ng mga anak ni Israel ayon sa buong iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises: gayon ginawa nila.

33 At kanilang dinala ang tabernakulo kay Moises, ang Tolda at ang lahat ng mga kasangkapan niyaon, ang mga kawit, ang mga tabla, ang mga barakilan, at ang mga haligi, at ang mga tungtungan;

34 At ang takip na mga balat ng mga tupa na tinina sa pula, at ang takip na balat ng mga poka, at ang (L)lambong ng tabing;

35 Ang kaban ng patotoo at ang mga pingga niyaon, at ang luklukan ng awa;

36 Ang dulang, lahat ng mga sisidlan niyaon, at ang tinapay na handog;

37 (M)Ang dalisay na kandelero, ang mga ilawan niyaon, ang mga ilawan na inayos, at lahat ng mga sisidlan niyaon, at ang langis na pangilawan;

38 (N)At ang dambanang ginto, at ang langis na pangpahid, ang mabangong kamangyan, at ang tabing na gamit sa pintuan ng Tolda;

39 Ang dambanang tanso, at ang pinakasalang tanso, ang mga pingga at ang lahat ng mga sisidlan niyaon, ang hugasan at ang tungtungan;

40 (O)Ang mga tabing ng looban, ang mga haligi, at ang mga tungtungan at ang tabing na pangpintuang-daan ng looban, ang mga panali, at ang mga tulos, at lahat ng mga kasangkapan sa paglilingkod sa tabernakulo, na gamit sa tabernakulo ng kapisanan;

41 Ang maiinam na pagkayaring kasuutan na gamit sa pangangasiwa sa dakong banal, at ang mga banal na kasuutan para kay Aaron na saserdote, at ang mga kasuutan ng kaniyang mga anak, upang mangasiwa sa katungkulang saserdote.

42 Ayon sa lahat na iniutos ng Panginoon kay Moises, ay (P)gayon ginawa ng mga anak ni Israel ang lahat ng gawa.

43 At nakita ni Moises ang lahat ng gawain, at, narito, kanilang nagawa na kung paanong iniutos ng Panginoon ay gayon nila ginawa: (Q)at pinagbabasbasan ni Moises.
