The Ephod

1(36:8) And every wise one among those that wrought made the robes of the holy places, which belong to Aaron the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.

2(36:9) And he made the ephod of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined. 3(36:10) And the plates were divided, the threads of gold, so as to interweave with the blue and purple, and with the spun scarlet, and the fine linen twined, they made it a woven work; 4(36:11) shoulder-pieces joined from both sides, a work woven by mutual twisting of the parts into one another. 5(36:12) They made it of the same material according to the making of it, of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined, as the Lord commanded Moses;

6(36:13) and they made the two emerald stones clasped together and set in gold, graven and cut after the cutting of a seal with the names of the children of Israel; 7(36:14) and he put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, as stones of memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord appointed Moses.

The Breastpiece

8(36:15) And they made the oracle, a work woven with embroidery, according to the work of the ephod, of gold, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined. 9(36:16) They made the oracle square and double, the length of a span, and the breadth of a span, - double. 10(36:17) And there was interwoven with it a woven work of four rows of stones, a series of stones, the first row, a sardius and topaz and emerald; 11(36:18) and the second row, a carbuncle and sapphire and jasper; 12(36:19) and the third row, a ligure and agate and amethyst; 13(36:20) and the fourth row a chrysolite and beryl and onyx set round about with gold, and fastened with gold. 14(36:21) And the stones were twelve according to the names of the children of Israel, graven according to their names like seals, each according to his own name for the twelve tribes. 15(36:22) And they made on the oracle turned wreaths, wreathen work, of pure gold, 16(36:23) and they made two golden circlets and two golden rings. (36:24) And they put the two golden rings on both the upper corners of the oracle; 17(36:25) and they put the golden wreaths on the rings on both sides of the oracle, and the two wreaths into the two couplings. 18(36:26) And they put them on the two circlets, and they put them on the shoulders of the ephod opposite each other in front. 19(36:27) And they made two golden rings, and put them on the two projections on the top of the oracle, and on the top of the hinder part of the ephod within. 20(36:28) And they made two golden rings, and put them on both the shoulders of the ephod under it, in front by the coupling above the connexion of the ephod. 21(36:29) And he fastened the oracle by the rings that were on it to the rings of the ephod, which were fastened with a string of blue, joined together with the woven work of the ephod; that the oracle should not be loosed from the ephod, as the Lord commanded Moses.

Additional Priestly Garments

22(36:30) And they made the tunic under the ephod, woven work, all of blue. 23(36:31) And the opening of the tunic in the midst woven closely together, the opening having a fringe round about, that it might not be rent. 24(36:32) And they made on the border of the tunic below pomegranates as of a flowering pomegranate tree, of blue, and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen twined. 25(36:33) And they made golden bells, and put the bells on the border of the tunic round about between the pomegranates: 26(36:34) a golden bell and a pomegranate on the border of the tunic round about, for the ministration, as the Lord commanded Moses.

27(36:35) And they made vestments of fine linen, a woven work, for Aaron and his sons, 28(36:36) and the tires of fine linen, and the mitre of fine linen, and the drawers of fine linen twined; 29(36:37) and their girdles of fine linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet spun, the work of an embroiderer, according as the Lord commanded Moses.

30(36:38) And they made the golden plate, a dedicated thing of the sanctuary, of pure gold; (36:39) and he wrote upon it graven letters as of a seal, Holiness to the Lord. 31(36:40) And they put it on the border of blue, so that it should be on the mitre above, as the Lord commanded Moses.

Moses Approves the Work

32(39:11) And the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses, so did they. (39:12) And of the gold that remained of the offering they made vessels to minister with before the Lord. (39:13) And the blue that was left, and the purple, and the scarlet they made into garments of ministry for Aaron, so that he should minister with them in the sanctuary; 33(39:14) and they brought the garments to Moses, and the tabernacle, and its furniture, its bases and its bars and the posts; 34(OMITTED TEXT) 35(39:15) and the ark of the covenant, and its bearers, and the altar and all its furniture. 36(39:18) and the table of shewbread, and all its furniture, and the shewbread upon it, 37(39:17) and its lamps, lamps for burning, and oil for the light, 38(39:16) And they made the anointing oil, and the incense of composition, and the pure candlestick, 39(OMITTED TEXT) 40(39:20) and the curtains of the court, and the posts, and the veil of the door of the tabernacle, and the gate of the court, (39:21) and all the vessels of the tabernacle and all its instruments: and the skins, even rams' skins dyed red, and the blue coverings, and the coverings of the other things, and the pins, and all the instruments for the works of the tabernacle of witness. 41(39:19) and the garments of the sanctuary which belong to Aaron, and the garments of his sons, for the priestly ministry; 42(39:22) Whatsoever things the Lord appointed Moses, so did the children of Israel make all the furniture. 43(39:23) And Moses saw all the works; and they had done them all as the Lord commanded Moses, so had they made them; and Moses blessed them.
