Exodus 39:22-43

22He made the robe of the ephod completely blue, the work of a weaver.

23There was an opening in the center of the robe, like the opening of a collar, with an edge all around the opening so that it could not be torn.

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

25They made bells of pure gold and attached the bells between the pomegranates around the hem of the robe between the pomegranates.

26There was a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe, to be used in ministering, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

27They made tunics of fine linen – the work of a weaver, for Aaron and for his sons –

28and the turban of fine linen, the headbands of fine linen, and the undergarments of fine twisted linen.

29The sash was of fine twisted linen and blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, the work of an embroiderer, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

30They made a plate, the holy diadem, of pure gold and wrote on it an inscription, as on the engravings of a seal, “Holiness to the Lord.”

31They attached to it a blue cord, to attach it to the turban above, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

32So all the work of the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, was completed, and the Israelites did according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses – they did it exactly so.

33They brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its furnishings, clasps, frames, bars, posts, and bases;

34and the coverings of ram skins dyed red, the covering of fine leather, and the protecting curtain;

35the ark of the testimony and its poles, and the atonement lid;

36the table, all its utensils, and the Bread of the Presence;

37the pure lampstand, its lamps, with the lamps set in order, and all its accessories, and oil for the light;

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

39the bronze altar and its bronze grating, its poles, and all its utensils; the large basin with its pedestal;

40the hangings of the courtyard, its posts and its bases, and the curtain for the gateway of the courtyard, its ropes and its tent pegs, and all the furnishings for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;

41the woven garments for serving in the sanctuary, the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments for his sons to minister as priests.

42The Israelites did all the work according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses.

43Moses inspected all the work – and they had done it just as the Lord had commanded – they had done it exactly – and Moses blessed them.
