King James Version KJV
1 From the blue, purple and scarlet yarn they made the garments for officiating, for serving in the Holy Place; and they made the holy garments for Aharon, as ADONAI had ordered Moshe.
1
And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.
2 He made the ritual vest of gold, of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely woven linen.
2
And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
3 They hammered the gold into thin plates and cut them into threads in order to work it into the blue, purple and scarlet yarn and the fine linen crafted by the skilled artisan.
3
And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with cunning work.
4 They made shoulder-pieces for it, joined together; they were joined together at the two ends.
4
They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.
5 The decorated belt on the vest, used to fasten it, was of the same workmanship and materials -gold; blue, purple and scarlet yarn; and finely twined linen -as ADONAI had ordered Moshe.
5
And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.
6 They worked the onyx stones, mounted in gold settings, engraving them with the names of the sons of Isra'el as they would be engraved on a seal.
6
And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.
7 Then he put them on the shoulder-pieces of the vest to be stones calling to mind the sons of Isra'el, as ADONAI had ordered Moshe.
7
And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
8 He made the breastplate; it was crafted by a skilled artisan and made like the work of the ritual vest -of gold; blue, purple and scarlet yarn; and finely woven linen.
8
And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9 When folded double, the breastplate was square -doubled, it was a hand-span by a hand-span.
9
It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.
10 They put on it four rows of stones: the first row was a carnelian, a topaz and an emerald;
10
And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.
11 the second row a green feldspar, a sapphire and a diamond;
11
And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
12 the third row an orange zircon, an agate and an amethyst;
12
And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
13 and the fourth row a beryl, an onyx and a jasper. They were mounted in settings of gold.
13
And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.
14 The stones corresponded to the names of the twelve sons of Isra'el; they were engraved with their names as a seal would be engraved, each name representing one of the twelve tribes.
14
And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.
15 On the breastplate they made two pure gold chains, twisted like cords.
15
And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold.
16 Also for the breastplate they made two settings of gold and two gold rings, and they put the two rings at the two ends of the breastplate.
16
And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.
17 They put the two twisted gold chains in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate
17
And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.
18 and attached the other two ends of the twisted chains to the front of the shoulder-pieces of the ritual vest.
18
And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.
19 They also made two gold rings and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, at its edge, on the side facing in toward the vest.
19
And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward.
20 Also they made two gold rings and attached them low on the front part of the vest's shoulder-pieces, near the join, above the vest's decorated belt.
20
And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.
21 Then they bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the vest with a blue cord, so that it could be on the vest's decorated belt, and so that the breastplate would not swing loose from the vest -as ADONAI had ordered Moshe.
21
And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.
22 He made the robe for the ritual vest; it was woven entirely of blue,
22
And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
23 with its opening in the middle, like that of a coat of mail, and with a border around the opening, so that it wouldn't tear.
23
And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.
24 On the bottom hem they made pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet, and woven linen;
24
And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.
25 and they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates all the way around the hem of the robe - between the pomegranates,
25
And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;
26 that is, bell, pomegranate, bell, pomegranate, all the way around the hem of the robe for service - as ADONAI had ordered Moshe.
26
A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.
27 They made the tunics of finely woven linen for Aharon and his sons,
27
And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,
28 the turban of fine linen, the splendid headgear of fine linen, the linen shorts,
28
And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,
29 and the sash of finely woven linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, the work of a weaver in colors - as ADONAI had ordered Moshe.
29
And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the LORD commanded Moses.
30 They made the ornament for the holy turban of pure gold; wrote on it the words, "Set apart for ADONAI," like the engraving on a seal;
30
And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
31 and tied a blue cord on it to fasten it to the front of the turban - as ADONAI had ordered Moshe.
31
And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.
32 Thus all the work for the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, was finished, with the people of Isra'el doing everything exactly as ADONAI had ordered Moshe.
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 Then they brought the tabernacle to Moshe -the tent and all its furnishings, clasps, planks, crossbars, posts and sockets;

41
The cloths of service to do service in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to minister in the priest's office.
42 The people of Isra'el did all the work just as ADONAI had ordered Moshe.
42
According to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.
43 Moshe saw all the work, and-there it was! - they had done it! Exactly as ADONAI had ordered, they had done it. And Moshe blessed them.
43
And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
