Exodus 39:19-29 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

19. The workers made two gold rings. They connected them to the other two corners of the chest cloth. They put them on the inside edge next to the apron.

20. They made two more gold rings. They connected them to the bottom of the shoulder straps on the front of the apron. They put them close to the seam right above the waistband of the apron.

21. They tied the rings of the chest cloth to the rings of the apron with blue cord. That connected it to the waistband. Then the chest cloth would not swing out from the linen apron. The workers did those things just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

22. The workers made the outer robe of the linen apron completely from blue cloth. The cloth was made by a skillful person.

23. The workers made an opening like a collar in the center of the robe. They made an edge around the opening. Then it couldn't tear.

24. They made pomegranates out of blue, purple and bright red yarn and finely twisted linen. They sewed them around the hem of the robe.

25. They made bells out of pure gold. They sewed them around the hem between the pomegranates.

26. They sewed a bell between every two pomegranates all around the hem of the robe. Aaron had to wear the robe when he served as priest. That's what the Lord commanded Moses.

27. The workers made inner robes out of fine linen for Aaron and his sons. The linen cloth was made by a skillful person.

28. The workers also made the turban out of fine linen. And they made the headbands and the underwear out of finely twisted linen.

29. The belt was made out of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and bright red yarn. A person who sewed skillfully made it. The workers did those things just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
