New Century Version

Exodus 39:15-23 New Century Version (NCV)

15. They made chains of pure gold, twisted together like a rope, for the chest covering.

16. The workers made two gold pieces and two gold rings. They put the two gold rings on the two upper corners of the chest covering.

17. Then they put two gold chains in the two rings at the ends of the chest covering,

18. and they fastened the other two ends of the chains to the two gold pieces. They attached these gold pieces to the two shoulder straps in the front of the holy vest.

19. They made two gold rings and put them at the lower corners of the chest covering on the inside edge next to the holy vest.

20. They made two more gold rings on the bottom of the shoulder straps in front of the holy vest, near the seam, just above the woven belt of the holy vest.

21. They used a blue ribbon and tied the rings of the chest covering to the rings of the holy vest, connecting it to the woven belt. In this way the chest covering would not swing out from the holy vest. They did all these things the way the Lord commanded.

22. Then they made the outer robe to be worn under the holy vest. It was woven only of blue cloth.

23. They made a hole in the center of the outer robe, with a woven collar sewn around it so it would not tear.
