| 3And 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. | 3And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with cunning work. |
| 4They made for the ephod attaching shoulder pieces, joined to it at its two edges. | 4They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together. |
| 5And 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. | 5And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses. |
| 6They 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. | 6And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel. |
| 7And 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. | 7And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses. |
| 8He made the breastpiece, in skilled work, in the style of the ephod, of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen. | 8And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen. |

| 10And they set in it four rows of stones. A row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle was the first row; | 10And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row. |
| 11and the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond; | 11And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond. |
| 12and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; | 12And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst. |

| 15And they made on the breastpiece twisted chains like cords, of pure gold. | 15And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold. |
| 16And they made two settings of gold filigree and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two edges of the breastpiece. | 16And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate. |
| 17And they put the two cords of gold in the two rings at the edges of the breastpiece. | 17And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate. |
| 18They 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. | 18And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it. |
| 19Then they made two rings of gold, and put them at the two ends of the breastpiece, on its inside edge next to the ephod. | 19And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward. |
| 20And 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. | 20And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod. |
| 21And 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. | 21And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses. |
| 22He also made the robe of the ephod woven all of blue, | 22And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue. |
| 23and 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. | 23And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend. |
| 24On the hem of the robe they made pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen. | 24And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen. |
| 25They also made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates all around the hem of the robe, between the pomegranates— | 25And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates; |
| 26a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate around the hem of the robe for ministering, as the LORD had commanded Moses. | 26A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses. |
