Context of Exodus 39:30

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. They 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.
