New International Version

Exodus 39:1-5 New International Version (NIV)

1. From the blue, purple and scarlet yarn they made woven garments for ministering in the sanctuary. They also made sacred garments for Aaron, as the Lord commanded Moses.

2. They made the ephod of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen.

3. They hammered out thin sheets of gold and cut strands to be worked into the blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen—the work of skilled hands.

4. They made shoulder pieces for the ephod, which were attached to two of its corners, so it could be fastened.

5. Its skillfully woven waistband was like it—of one piece with the ephod and made with gold, and with blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and with finely twisted linen, as the Lord commanded Moses.
