25 They also made the bells of pure gold and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;

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 And they made the coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron and for his sons,

28 likewise the mitre of fine linen and the decorations of the tiaras of fine linen and the linen underwear of fine twined linen,

29 also the girdle of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet of needlework, as the LORD commanded Moses.

30 And they made the open flower, the crown of holiness, of pure gold and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a seal, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD.

32 Thus was all the work of the tabernacle, the tabernacle of the testimony finished, and the sons of Israel did according to all that the LORD had commanded Moses, so did they.

33 And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the tabernacle and all its furniture, its hooks, its boards, its bars and its pillars and its sockets,

34 and the covering of rams’ skins dyed red and the covering of badgers’ skins and the veil of the curtain,
