Exodus 39:28-38

28 and a miter of fine linen and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of finetwined linen,

29 and a girdle of finetwined linen, and blue and purple and scarlet needlework, as the LORD commanded Moses.

30 And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like the engravings of a signet: Holiness to the LORD.

31 And they tied unto it a lace of blue to fasten it on high upon the miter, as the LORD commanded Moses.

32 Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the congregation finished, and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses; so did they.

33 And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses: the tent and all his furniture, his clasps, his boards, his bars and his pillars and his sockets;

34 and the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the veil of the covering;

35 the ark of the Testimony and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat;

36 the table and all the vessels thereof, and the showbread;

37 the pure candlestick with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light;

38 and the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the hanging for the tabernacle door;
