Exodus 39:2-26
2And he madeH6213 the ephodH646 of goldH2091, blueH8504, and purpleH713, and scarletH8144H8438, and fine twinedH7806 linenH8336. 3And they did beatH7554 the goldH2091 intoH854 thin platesH6341, and cutH7112 it into wiresH6616, to workH8432H6213 it in the blueH8504, and in the purpleH713, and in the scarletH8438H8144, and in the fine linenH8336, with cunningH2803 workH4639. 4They madeH6213 shoulderpiecesH3802 for it, to couple it togetherH2266: by the twoH8147 edgesH7099H7098 was it coupled togetherH2266. 5And the curious girdleH2805 of his ephodH642, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the workH4639 thereof; of goldH2091, blueH8504, and purpleH713, and scarletH8438H8144, and fine twinedH7806 linenH8336; as YhwhH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872.
6And they wroughtH6213 onyxH7718 stonesH68 inclosedH4142 in ouchesH4865 of goldH2091, gravenH6605, as signetsH2368 are gravenH6603, with the namesH8034 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478. 7And he putH7760 them on the shouldersH3802 of the ephodH646, that they should be stonesH68 for a memorialH2146 to the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478; as YhwhH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872.
8And he madeH6213 the breastplateH2833 of cunningH2803 workH4639, like the workH4639 of the ephodH646; of goldH2091, blueH8504, and purpleH713, and scarletH8438H8144, and fine twinedH7806 linenH8336. 9It was foursquareH7251; they madeH6213 the breastplateH2833 doubleH3717: a spanH2239 was the lengthH753 thereof, and a spanH2239 the breadthH7341 thereof, being doubledH3717. 10And they setH4390 in it fourH702 rowsH2905 of stonesH68: the first rowH2905 was a sardiusH124, a topazH6357, and a carbuncleH1304: this was the firstH259 rowH2905.1 11And the secondH8145 rowH2905, an emeraldH5306, a sapphireH5601, and a diamondH3095. 12And the thirdH7992 rowH2905, a ligureH3958, an agateH7618, and an amethystH306. 13And the fourthH7243 rowH2905, a berylH8658, an onyxH7718, and a jasperH3471: they were inclosedH4142 in ouchesH4865 of goldH2091 in their inclosingsH4396. 14And the stonesH68 were according to the namesH8034 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, twelveH6240H8147, according to their namesH8034, like the engravingsH6603 of a signetH2368, every oneH376 with his nameH8034, according to the twelveH6240H8147 tribesH7626. 15And they madeH6213 upon the breastplateH2833 chainsH8333 at the endsH1383, of wreathenH5688 workH4639 of pureH2889 goldH2091. 16And they madeH6213 twoH8147 ouchesH4865 of goldH2091, and twoH8147 goldH2091 ringsH2885; and putH5414 the twoH8147 ringsH2885 in the twoH8147 endsH7098 of the breastplateH2833. 17And they putH5414 the twoH8147 wreathen chainsH5688 of goldH2091 in the twoH8147 ringsH2885 on the endsH7098 of the breastplateH2833. 18And the twoH8147 endsH7098 of the twoH8147 wreathenH5688 chainsH5688 they fastenedH5414 in the twoH8147 ouchesH4865, and putH5414 them on the shoulderpiecesH3802 of the ephodH646, beforeH6440 itH4136. 19And they madeH6213 twoH8147 ringsH2885 of goldH2091, and putH7760 them on the twoH8147 endsH7098 of the breastplateH2833, upon the borderH8193 of it, which was on the sideH5676 of the ephodH646 inwardH1004. 20And they madeH6213 twoH8147 other goldenH2091 ringsH2885, and putH5414 them on the twoH8147 sidesH3802 of the ephodH646 underneathH4295, towardH4136 the forepartH6440 of it, over againstH5980 the other couplingH4225 thereof, aboveH4605 the curious girdleH2805 of the ephodH646. 21And they did bindH7405 the breastplateH2833 by his ringsH2885 unto the ringsH2885 of the ephodH646 with a laceH6616 of blueH8504, that it might be above the curious girdleH2805 of the ephodH646, and that the breastplateH2833 might not be loosedH2118 from the ephodH646; as YhwhH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872.
22And he madeH6213 the robeH4598 of the ephodH646 of wovenH707 workH4639, allH3632 of blueH8504. 23And there was an holeH6310 in the midstH8432 of the robeH4598, as the holeH6310 of a garmentH8473, with a bandH8193 round aboutH5439 the holeH6310, that it should not rendH7167. 24And they madeH6213 upon the hemsH7757 of the robeH4598 pomegranatesH7416 of blueH8504, and purpleH713, and scarletH8438H8144, and twinedH7806 linen. 25And they madeH6213 bellsH6472 of pureH2889 goldH2091, and putH5414 the bellsH6472 betweenH8432 the pomegranatesH7416 upon the hemH7757 of the robeH4598, round aboutH5439 betweenH8432 the pomegranatesH7416; 26A bellH6472 and a pomegranateH7416, a bellH6472 and a pomegranateH7416, round aboutH5439 the hemH7757 of the robeH4598 to ministerH8334 in; as YhwhH3068 commandedH6680 MosesH4872.
