Exodus 39:18-35 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

18. They attached the other ends of the two cords to the two filigree settings and, in this way, attached them to the ephod’s shoulder pieces in front.

19. They made two other gold rings and put them at the two other corners of the breastpiece on the edge that is next to the inner border of the ephod.

20. They made two more gold rings and attached them to the bottom of the ephod’s two shoulder pieces on its front, close to its seam, above the ephod’s woven waistband.

21. Then they tied the breastpiece from its rings to the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue yarn, so that the breastpiece was above the ephod’s waistband and did not come loose from the ephod. They did just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

22. They made the woven robe of the ephod entirely of blue yarn.

23. There was an opening in the center of the robe like that of body armor with a collar around the opening so that it would not tear.

24. They made pomegranates of finely spun blue, purple, and scarlet yarn on the lower hem of the robe.

25. They made bells of pure gold and attached the bells between the pomegranates, all around the hem of the robe between the pomegranates,

26. a bell and a pomegranate alternating all around the lower hem of the robe to be worn for ministry. They made it just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

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

28. They also made the turban and the ornate headbands of fine linen, the undergarments,

29. and the sash of finely spun linen of embroidered blue, purple, and scarlet yarn. They did just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

30. They also made a medallion, the holy diadem, out of pure gold and wrote on it an inscription like the engraving on a seal: HOLY TO THE Lord.

31. Then they attached a cord of blue yarn to it in order to mount it on the turban, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

32. So all the work for the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, was finished. The Israelites did everything just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

33. Then they brought the tabernacle to Moses: the tent with all its furnishings, its clasps, its planks, its crossbars, and its posts and bases;

34. the covering of ram skins dyed red and the covering of manatee skins; the veil for the screen;

35. the ark of the testimony with its poles and the mercy seat;
