Exodus 39:19-35 Common English Bible (CEB)

19. They made two gold rings, and they attached them to the two edges of the chest pendant, on its inside edge facing the vest.

20. They made two gold rings and fastened them on the front of the lower part of the two shoulder pieces of the vest, at its seam just above the vest’s belt.

21. The chest pendant was held in place by a blue cord binding its rings to the vest’s rings so that the chest pendant rested on the vest’s belt and didn’t come loose from the vest, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

22. They also made the vest’s robe, woven completely in blue.

23. The opening of the robe in the middle of it was reinforced with a strong border so that it didn’t tear.

24. On the robe’s lower hem, they added pomegranates made of blue, purple, and deep red yarns and of fine twisted linen.

25. They also made pure gold bells and sewed the bells between the pomegranates, all around the robe’s lower hem,

26. with a bell and a pomegranate alternating all around the lower hem of the robe that is used for ministering as a priest, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

27. They also made the tunics woven out of fine linen for Aaron and his sons,

28. the turban of fine linen, the decorated turbans of fine linen, the linen undergarments of fine twisted linen,

29. the sashes of fine twisted linen, and of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, decorated with needlework, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

30. They made the flower ornament for the holy crown out of pure gold. Like the engraving on an official seal, they engraved on it the saying "Holy to the Lord."

31. They fastened to it a blue cord to tie it to the top of the turban, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

32. In this way all the work of the meeting tent dwelling was finished. The Israelites did everything just exactly as the Lord had commanded Moses.

33. Then they brought to Moses the dwelling, the tent, and all its equipment:its clasps, its boards, its bars, its posts, and its bases,

34. the covering of rams’ skins dyed red, the covering of beaded leather, and the veil for a screen,

35. the chest containing the covenant with its poles and the cover,
