Exodus 39:21-43 Good News Bible (GNB)

21. Just as the Lord had commanded Moses, they tied the rings of the breastpiece to the rings of the ephod with a blue cord, so that the breastpiece rested above the belt and did not come loose.

22. The robe that goes under the ephod was made entirely of blue wool.

23. The hole for the head was reinforced with a woven binding to keep it from tearing.

24-26. All round its lower hem they put pomegranates of fine linen and of blue, purple, and red wool, alternating with bells of pure gold, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

27. They made the shirts for Aaron and his sons,

28. and the turban, the caps, the linen shorts,

29. and the sash of fine linen and of blue, purple, and red wool, decorated with embroidery, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

30. They made the ornament, the sacred sign of dedication, out of pure gold, and they engraved on it “Dedicated to the Lord”.

31. They tied it to the front of the turban with a blue cord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

32. All the work on the Tent of the Lord's presence was finally completed. The Israelites made everything just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

33. They brought to Moses the Tent and all its equipment, its hooks, its frames, its crossbars, its posts, and its bases;

34. the covering of rams' skin dyed red; the covering of fine leather; the curtain;

35. the Covenant Box containing the stone tablets, its poles, and its lid;

36. the table and all its equipment, and the bread offered to God;

37. the lampstand of pure gold, its lamps, all its equipment, and the oil for the lamps;

38. the gold altar; the anointing oil; the sweet-smelling incense; the curtain for the entrance of the Tent;

39. the bronze altar with its bronze grating, its poles, and all its equipment; the washbasin and its base;

40. the curtains for the enclosure and its posts and bases; the curtain for the entrance of the enclosure and its ropes; the pegs for the Tent; all the equipment to be used in the Tent;

41. and the magnificent garments the priests were to wear in the Holy Place — the sacred clothes for Aaron the priest and for his sons.

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

43. Moses examined everything and saw that they had made it all just as the Lord had commanded. So Moses blessed them.
