Exodus 39:22-43
22They made the robe that is worn with the ephod, woven entirely of violet yarn.
23The opening in the center of the robe had a finished edge (like a leather collar) all around it to keep it from tearing.
24On the hem of the robe they made pomegranates of violet, purple, and bright red yarn, and fine yarn.
25They made bells out of pure gold and fastened them in between the pomegranates all around the hem of the robe.
26A gold bell alternated with a pomegranate all around the hem of the robe that is worn by Aaron when he serves as priest. They followed the Lord’s instructions to Moses.
27They wove inner robes out of fine linen for Aaron and his sons.
28They also made the chief priest’s turban and the other beautiful turbans out of fine linen. They made the undergarments and belt out of fine linen yarn.
29The belt was embroidered with violet, purple, and bright red yarn. They followed the Lord’s instructions to Moses.
30They made the flower-shaped medallion (the holy crown) out of pure gold and engraved on it (as on a signet ring): Holy to the Lord.
31They fastened a violet cord to it and tied it on top of the turban. They followed the Lord’s instructions to Moses.
32So all the work on the inner tent (the tent of meeting) was now done. The Israelites followed all the Lord’s instructions to Moses.
33Then they brought everything to Moses—the inner tent, the outer tent and all its furnishings, the fasteners, frames, crossbars, posts, sockets,
34the cover made of rams’ skins dyed red, the cover made of fine leather, the canopy over ⌞the ark⌟,
35the ark containing the words of God’s promise with its poles and the throne of mercy,
36the table with all the dishes, the bread of the presence,
37the pure ⌞gold⌟ lamp stand with its lamps in a row and all its utensils, the olive oil for the lamps,
38the gold altar, the anointing oil, the sweet-smelling incense, the screen for the entrance to the tent,
39the bronze altar with its bronze grate, its poles, and all its accessories, the basin with its stand,
40the curtains for the courtyard, the posts, bases, and screen for the entrance to the courtyard, the ropes and pegs—all the equipment needed for the service of the inner tent (the tent of meeting)—
41the special clothes worn when serving as priests in the holy place—both the holy clothes for the priest Aaron and the clothes for his sons when serving as priests.
42The Israelites had done all the work following the Lord’s instructions to Moses.
43Moses inspected all the work and saw that they had followed the Lord’s instructions. So Moses blessed them.
