Exodus 39:35-43

35 the Ark of the Agreement, its poles and lid;

36 the table, all its containers, and the bread that showed they were in God's presence;

37 the pure gold lampstand with its lamps in a row, all its tools, and the olive oil for the light;

38 the gold altar, the special olive oil used for appointing priests, the sweet-smelling incense, and the curtain that covered the entrance to the Tent;

39 the bronze altar and its screen, its poles and all its tools, the bowl and its stand;

40 the curtains for the courtyard with their posts and bases, the curtain that covered the entry to the courtyard, the cords, pegs, and all the things in the Meeting Tent.

41 They brought the clothes for the priests to wear when they served in the Holy Tent -- the holy clothes for Aaron the priest and the clothes for his sons, which they wore when they served as priests.

42 The Israelites had done all this work just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

43 Moses looked closely at all the work and saw they had done it just as the Lord had commanded. So Moses blessed them.
