1The craftsmen made beautiful sacred garments of blue, purple, and scarlet cloth—clothing for Aaron to wear while ministering in the Holy Place, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. Making the Ephod

1From the blue, purple, and scarlet material they made finely woven garments for ministering in the Holy Place, and they made the holy garments for Aaron, just as the LORD commanded Moses.

2Bezalel made the ephod of finely woven linen and embroidered it with gold and with blue, purple, and scarlet thread.

2He made the ephod out of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet material and fine woven linen.

3He made gold thread by hammering out thin sheets of gold and cutting it into fine strands. With great skill and care, he worked it into the fine linen with the blue, purple, and scarlet thread.

3They hammered out gold sheets and cut off threads to work into the blue, purple, and scarlet material and into the fine linen, a work of skillful design.

4The ephod consisted of two pieces, front and back, joined at the shoulders with two shoulder-pieces.

4They made connecting shoulder pieces for the ephod and attached them to its two edges.

5The decorative sash was made of the same materials: finely woven linen embroidered with gold and with blue, purple, and scarlet thread, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

5The skillfully woven band that was on it was made like it, of one piece with it: of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet material and fine woven linen, just as the LORD commanded Moses.

6They mounted the two onyx stones in settings of gold filigree. The stones were engraved with the names of the tribes of Israel, just as a seal is engraved.

6They prepared the onyx stones, engraved with the names of the sons of Israel like the engraving on a signet, and mounted them in settings of gold filigree.

7He fastened these stones on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod as a reminder that the priest represents the people of Israel. All this was done just as the LORD had commanded Moses. Making the Chestpiece

7He put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel, just as the LORD commanded Moses.

8Bezalel made the chestpiece with great skill and care. He made it to match the ephod, using finely woven linen embroidered with gold and with blue, purple, and scarlet thread.

8He made a breast piece, skillfully worked, like the work of the ephod: of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet material and fine woven linen.

9He made the chestpiece of a single piece of cloth folded to form a pouch nine inches square.

9They made the breast piece square when folded double: one span in length and one span in width when folded double.

10They mounted four rows of gemstones on it. The first row contained a red carnelian, a pale-green peridot, and an emerald.

10They mounted on it four rows of stones. The first row was a row of carnelian, topaz, and emerald;

11The second row contained a turquoise, a blue lapis lazuli, and a white moonstone.

11the second row ruby, sapphire, and crystal;

12The third row contained an orange jacinth, an agate, and a purple amethyst.

12the third row jacinth, agate, and amethyst;

13The fourth row contained a blue-green beryl, an onyx, and a green jasper. All these stones were set in gold filigree.

13and the fourth row beryl, onyx, and jasper. They were set in gold filigree when they were mounted.

14Each stone represented one of the twelve sons of Israel, and the name of that tribe was engraved on it like a seal.

14The stones corresponded to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve stones corresponding to their names, with the engraving of a signet, each with the name of one of the twelve tribes.

15To attach the chestpiece to the ephod, they made braided cords of pure gold thread.

15They made chains of pure gold twisted like cords for the breast piece.

16They also made two settings of gold filigree and two gold rings and attached them to the top corners of the chestpiece.

16They made two settings of gold filigree and two gold rings, and they put the two rings on the two edges of the breast piece.

17They tied the two gold cords to the rings on the chestpiece.

17They put the two gold cords on the two gold rings at the edges of the breast piece,

18They tied the other ends of the cords to the gold settings on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod.

18and they attached the other two ends of the two cords to the filigree settings, and then attached them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod in front.

19Then they made two more gold rings and attached them to the inside edges of the chestpiece next to the ephod.

19They made two gold rings and attached them to the two edges of the breast piece, on the side of it which is toward the inner side of the ephod.

20Then they made two more gold rings and attached them to the front of the ephod, below the shoulder-pieces, just above the knot where the decorative sash was fastened to the ephod.

20They made two gold rings and attached them in front, on the lower part of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, close to the place where it's joined, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.

21They attached the bottom rings of the chestpiece to the rings on the ephod with blue cords. In this way, the chestpiece was held securely to the ephod above the decorative sash. All this was done just as the LORD had commanded Moses. Additional Clothing for the Priests

21They tied the breast piece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue cord so it would rest on the skillfully woven band of the ephod and so the breast piece would not come loose from the ephod.

22Bezalel made the robe that is worn with the ephod from a single piece of blue woven cloth,

22He made the robe of the ephod of woven work, entirely of blue.

23with an opening for Aaron’s head in the middle of it. The opening was reinforced with a woven collar so it would not tear.

23The opening of the robe was in the middle, like the opening of a coat of mail, with a binding around the opening so it would not be torn.

24They made pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and attached them to the hem of the robe.

24On the hem of the robe, they placed pomegranates made of blue, purple, and scarlet material and woven linen.

25They also made bells of pure gold and placed them between the pomegranates along the hem of the robe,

25They made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates, on the hem of the robe, all around between the pomegranates.

26with bells and pomegranates alternating all around the hem. This robe was to be worn whenever the priest ministered before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

30Finally, they made the sacred medallion—the badge of holiness—of pure gold. They engraved it like a seal with these words: Holy to the Lord .

30They made the medallion for the holy crown of pure gold, and they wrote on it an inscription like the engraving on a seal: "Holy to the LORD."

31They attached the medallion with a blue cord to Aaron’s turban, just as the LORD had commanded Moses. Moses Inspects the Work

31They fastened a blue cord to it in order to fasten it on the turban above, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

32And so at last the Tabernacle was finished. The Israelites had done everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

32All the work on the Tent of Meeting was completed, and the Israelis had crafted it according to everything that the LORD had commanded Moses, as they should have.

33And they brought the entire Tabernacle to Moses: the sacred tent with all its furnishings, clasps, frames, crossbars, posts, and bases;
