Exodus 39:29-39

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.

31 And they tied unto it a lace of blue to fasten it over the mitre, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

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,

35 the ark of the testimony and its staves, and the seat of reconciliation,

36 the table and all its vessels, and the showbread,

37 the pure lampstand with its lamps, even with the lamps to be set in order, and all its vessels and the oil for light,

38 the golden altar and the anointing oil and the aromatic incense and the hanging for the tabernacle door.

39 The brasen altar with its grate of brass, its staves, and all its vessels, and the laver and its base.
