Exodus 39:18-38 New International Version (NIV)

18. and the other ends of the chains to the two settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front.

19. They made two gold rings and attached them to the other two corners of the breastpiece on the inside edge next to the ephod.

20. Then they made two more gold rings and attached them to the bottom of the shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod, close to the seam just above the waistband of the ephod.

21. They tied the rings of the breastpiece to the rings of the ephod with blue cord, connecting it to the waistband so that the breastpiece would not swing out from the ephod—as the Lord commanded Moses.

22. They made the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth—the work of a weaver—

23. with an opening in the center of the robe like the opening of a collar, and a band around this opening, so that it would not tear.

24. They made pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen around the hem of the robe.

25. And they made bells of pure gold and attached them around the hem between the pomegranates.

26. The bells and pomegranates alternated around the hem of the robe to be worn for ministering, as the Lord commanded Moses.

27. For Aaron and his sons, they made tunics of fine linen—the work of a weaver—

28. and the turban of fine linen, the linen caps and the undergarments of finely twisted linen.

29. The sash was made of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn—the work of an embroiderer—as the Lord commanded Moses.

30. They made the plate, the sacred emblem, out of pure gold and engraved on it, like an inscription on a seal: holy to the Lord.

31. Then they fastened a blue cord to it to attach it to the turban, as the Lord commanded Moses.

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

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

34. the covering of ram skins dyed red and the covering of another durable leather and the shielding curtain;

35. the ark of the covenant law with its poles and the atonement cover;

36. the table with all its articles and the bread of the Presence;

37. the pure gold lampstand with its row of lamps and all its accessories, and the olive oil for the light;

38. the gold altar, the anointing oil, the fragrant incense, and the curtain for the entrance to the tent;
