Exodus 39:27-37

27 They wove inner robes of fine linen for Aaron and his sons,

28 and they made turbans, headbands, and underclothes of fine linen.

29 Then they made the cloth belt of fine linen, and blue, purple, and red thread, and designs were sewn onto it, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

30 They made a strip of pure gold, which is the holy crown, and carved these words in the gold, as one might carve on a seal: "Holy to the Lord."

31 Then they tied this flat piece to the turban with a blue ribbon, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

32 So all the work on the Meeting Tent was finished. The Israelites did everything just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

33 Then they brought the Holy Tent to Moses: the Tent and all its furniture, hooks, frames, crossbars, posts, and bases;

34 the covering made of male sheepskins colored red, the covering made of fine leather, and the curtain that covered the entrance to the Most Holy Place;

35 the Ark of the Agreement, its poles and lid;

36 the table, all its containers, and the bread that showed they were in God's presence;

37 the pure gold lampstand with its lamps in a row, all its tools, and the olive oil for the light;
