Context of Exodus 39:30

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. They 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.
