Exo 39:2 He made the ephod of gold, and of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen.

Exo 39:3 Then they hammered out gold sheets and cut them into threads to be woven in with the blue and the purple and the scarlet material, and the fine linen, the work of a skillful workman.

Exo 39:4 They made attaching shoulder pieces for the ephod; it was attached at its two upper ends.

Exo 39:5 The skillfully woven band which was on it was like its workmanship, of the same material: of gold and of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Exo 39:6 They 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.

Exo 39:7 And 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.

Exo 39:8 He made the breastpiece, the work of a skillful workman, like the workmanship of the ephod: of gold and of blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen.

Exo 39:9 It was square; they made the breastpiece folded double, a span long and a span wide when folded double.

Exo 39:10 And they mounted four rows of stones on it. The first row was a row of ruby, topaz, and emerald;

Exo 39:11 and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire and a diamond;

Exo 39:12 and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

Exo 39:13 and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were set in gold filigree settings when they were mounted.

Exo 39:14 The stones were corresponding 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.

Exo 39:15 They made on the breastpiece chains like cords, of twisted cordage work in pure gold.

Exo 39:16 They made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastpiece.

Exo 39:17 Then they put the two gold cords in the two rings at the ends of the breastpiece.

Exo 39:18 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.

Exo 39:19 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.

Exo 39:20 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.

Exo 39:21 They bound the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue 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.

Exo 39:22 Then he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue;

Exo 39:23 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.

Exo 39:24 They made pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet material and twisted linen on the hem of the robe.

Exo 39:25 They also made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates all around on the hem of the robe,

Exo 39:26 alternating a bell and a pomegranate all around on the hem of the robe for the service, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Exo 39:27 They made the tunics of finely woven linen for Aaron and his sons,

Exo 39:28 and the turban of fine linen, and the decorated caps of fine linen, and the linen breeches of fine twisted linen,

Exo 39:29 and the sash of fine twisted linen, and blue and purple and scarlet material, the work of the weaver, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Exo 39:30 They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and inscribed it like the engravings of a signet, "Holy to the Lord."

Exo 39:31 They fastened a blue cord to it, to fasten it on the turban above, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Exo 39:32 Thus all the work of the 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.

Exo 39:33 They brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its furnishings: its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars and its sockets;

Exo 39:34 and the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of porpoise skins, and the screening veil;

Exo 39:35 the ark of the testimony and its poles and the mercy seat;

Exo 39:36 the table, all its utensils, and the bread of the Presence;

Exo 39:37 the pure gold lampstand, with its arrangement of lamps and all its utensils, and the oil for the light;

Exo 39:38 and the gold altar, and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the veil for the doorway of the tent;

Exo 39:39 the bronze altar and its bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils, the laver and its stand;

Exo 39:40 the hangings for the court, its pillars and its sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court, its cords and its pegs and all the equipment for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;

Exo 39:41 the woven garments for ministering in the holy place and the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to minister as priests.

Exo 39:42 So the sons of Israel did all the work according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses.

Exo 39:43 And Moses examined all the work and behold, they had done it; just as the Lord had commanded, this they had done. So Moses blessed them.

Exo 40:1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Exo 40:2 "On the first day of the first month you shall set up the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

Exo 40:3 You shall place the ark of the testimony there, and you shall screen the ark with the veil.

Exo 40:4 You shall bring in the table and arrange what belongs on it; and you shall bring in the lampstand and mount its lamps.

Exo 40:5 Moreover, you shall set the gold altar of incense before the ark of the testimony, and set up the veil for the doorway to the tabernacle.

Exo 40:6 You shall set the altar of burnt offering in front of the doorway of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting.

Exo 40:7 You shall set the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it.

Exo 40:8 You shall set up the court all around and hang up the veil for the gateway of the court.

Exo 40:9 Then you shall take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and shall consecrate it and all its furnishings; and it shall be holy.

Exo 40:10 You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, and consecrate the altar, and the altar shall be most holy.

Exo 40:11 You shall anoint the laver and its stand, and consecrate it.

Exo 40:12 Then you shall bring Aaron and his sons to the doorway of the tent of meeting and wash them with water.

Exo 40:13 You shall put the holy garments on Aaron and anoint him and consecrate him, that he may minister as a priest to Me.

Exo 40:14 You shall bring his sons and put tunics on them;

Exo 40:15 and you shall anoint them even as you have anointed their father, that they may minister as priests to Me; and their anointing will qualify them for a perpetual priesthood throughout their generations."

Exo 40:16 Thus Moses did; according to all that the Lord had commanded him, so he did.

Exo 40:17 Now in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was erected.

Exo 40:18 Moses erected the tabernacle and laid its sockets, and set up its boards, and inserted its bars and erected its pillars.

Exo 40:19 He spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering of the tent on top of it, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Exo 40:20 Then he took the testimony and put it into the ark, and attached the poles to the ark, and put the mercy seat on top of the ark.

Exo 40:21 He brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up a veil for the screen, and screened off the ark of the testimony, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Exo 40:22 Then he put the table in the tent of meeting on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil.

Exo 40:23 He set the arrangement of bread in order on it before the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Exo 40:24 Then he placed the lampstand in the tent of meeting, opposite the table, on the south side of the tabernacle.

Exo 40:25 He lighted the lamps before the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Exo 40:26 Then he placed the gold altar in the tent of meeting in front of the veil;

Exo 40:27 and he burned fragrant incense on it, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Exo 40:28 Then he set up the veil for the doorway of the tabernacle.

Exo 40:29 He set the altar of burnt offering before the doorway of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the meal offering, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Exo 40:30 He placed the laver between the tent of meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing.

Exo 40:31 From it Moses and Aaron and his sons washed their hands and their feet.

Exo 40:32 When they entered the tent of meeting, and when they approached the altar, they washed, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Exo 40:33 He erected the court all around the tabernacle and the altar, and hung up the veil for the gateway of the court. Thus Moses finished the work.

Exo 40:34 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

Exo 40:35 Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

Exo 40:36 Throughout all their journeys whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the sons of Israel would set out;

Exo 40:37 but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not set out until the day when it was taken up.

Exo 40:38 For throughout all their journeys, the cloud of the Lord was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel.
