Exodus 39:12-22

12 And of the gold that remained of the offering they made vessels to minister with before the Lord.

13 And the blue that was left, and the purple, and the scarlet they made garments of ministry for Aaron, so that he should minister with them in the sanctuary;

14 and they brought the garments to Moses, and the tabernacle, and its furniture, its bases and its bars and the posts;

15 and the ark of the covenant, and its bearers, and the altar and all its furniture.

16 And they made the anointing oil, and the incense of composition, and the pure candlestick,

17 and its lamps, lamps for burning, and oil for the light,

18 and the table of shewbread, and all its furniture, and the shewbread upon it,

19 and the garments of the sanctuary which belong to Aaron, and the garments of his sons, for the priestly ministry;

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,

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.

22 Whatsoever things the Lord appointed Moses, so did the children of Israel make all the furniture.
