Context of Exodus 39:30

28The turban and the special head coverings were made of fine linen, and the undergarments were also made of finely woven linen. 29The sashes were made of finely woven linen and embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet thread, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. Finally, they made the sacred medallion—the badge of holiness—of pure gold. They engraved it like a seal with these words: Holy to the Lord. 31They attached the medallion with a blue cord to Aaron’s turban, just as the Lord had commanded Moses. 32And so at last the Tabernacle was finished. The Israelites had done everything just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
