Exodus 39:22-32

22 They made the robe that is worn with the ephod, woven entirely of violet yarn.

23 The opening in the center of the robe had a finished edge (like a leather collar ) all around it to keep it from tearing.

24 On the hem of the robe they made pomegranates of violet, purple, and bright red yarn, and fine yarn.

25 They made bells out of pure gold and fastened them in between the pomegranates all around the hem of the robe.

26 A gold bell alternated with a pomegranate all around the hem of the robe that is worn by Aaron when he serves as priest. They followed the LORD's instructions to Moses.

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

28 They also made the chief priest's turban and the other beautiful turbans out of fine linen. They made the undergarments and belt out of fine linen yarn.

29 The belt was embroidered with violet, purple, and bright red yarn. They followed the LORD's instructions to Moses.

30 They made the flower-shaped medallion (the holy crown) out of pure gold and engraved on it (as on a signet ring): Holy to the LORD.

31 They fastened a violet cord to it and tied it on top of the turban. They followed the LORD's instructions to Moses.

32 So all the work on the inner tent (the tent of meeting) was now done. The Israelites followed all the LORD's instructions to Moses.
