Context of Exodus 39:29
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. The 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.
