Exodus 39:1  Exodus 39:20

1 And from the blue and the purple and the scarlet strands, they made finely worked garments for ministering in the sanctuary, and made the holy garments for Aaron, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

2 And Bezalel made the ephod of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet strands, and fine twined linen.

3 And they beat the gold into thin sheets and cut them into threads, to work into the blue and into the purple and into the scarlet strands and into the fine linen, the work of a skillful workman.

4 They made shoulder pieces for it, joined to it; at the two edges it was joined.

5 And the skillfully woven band, which was on it for its fastening, was of one piece with it and like it in workmanship, of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet strands, and fine twined linen, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

6 And they made the onyx stones enclosed in settings of gold, engraved with the engravings of a signet according to the names of the sons of Israel.

7 And he put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

8 And he made the breastplate, the work of a skillful workman, like the work of the ephod, of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet strands, and of fine twined linen.

9 It was square; they made the breastplate doubled; a span in its length and a span in its width when doubled.

10 And they filled it with four rows of stones. The first row was a row of a sardius, a topaz, and an emerald;

11 And the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond;

12 And the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

13 And the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in settings of gold in their enclosures.

14 And the stones were according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to their names like the engravings of a signet, each according to his name, for the twelve tribes.

15 And they made on the breastplate twisted chains, a cordage work of pure gold.

16 And they made two settings of gold and two rings of gold, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

17 And they put the two cords of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.

18 And the two other ends of the two cords they put on the two settings and put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front of it.

19 And they made two rings of gold and put them on the two ends of the breastplate on its edge, which was toward the ephod on the inside.

20 And they made two rings of gold and put them on the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod on the front of it, close to the place where it is joined, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.

27 And the hundred talents of silver were for casting the sockets of the sanctuary and the sockets of the veil; one hundred sockets for the hundred talents, a talent for a socket.

28 And of the one thousand seven hundred seventy-five shekels he made hooks for the pillars and overlaid their capitals and made connecting rods for them.

Exodus 36:8  Exodus 36:34

8 And all the wise in heart among those who did the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains, of fine twined linen and blue and purple and scarlet strands, with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman. Bezalel made them.

9 The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain, four cubits; all the curtains had the same measurement.

10 And he joined five curtains to one another; and the other five curtains he joined to one another.

11 And he made loops of blue upon the edge of the one curtain at the end in the set; likewise he made them in the edge of the outermost curtain in the second set.

12 He made fifty loops on the one curtain, and he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was in the second set; the loops were opposite one another.

13 And he made fifty clasps of gold, and joined the curtains to one another with the clasps; so the tabernacle became one.

14 And he made curtains of goats’ hair for a tent over the tabernacle; eleven curtains he made them.

15 The length of each curtain was thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain, four cubits; the eleven curtains had the same measurement.

16 And he joined five of the curtains by themselves, and six of the curtains by themselves.

17 And he made fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that was outermost in the set, and fifty loops he made upon the edge of the curtain which was outermost in the second set.

18 And he made fifty clasps of bronze to join the tent together, that it might become one.

19 And he made a covering for the tent, of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering of porpoise skins above it.

20 And he made the boards for the tabernacle of acacia wood, standing up.

21 Ten cubits was the length of a board, and one and a half cubits, the width of each board.

22 Each board had two tenons fitted to one another; thus he did for all the boards of the tabernacle.

23 And he made the boards for the tabernacle, twenty boards for the south side southward.

24 And he made forty sockets of silver under the twenty boards, two sockets under one board for its two tenons and two sockets under the next board for its two tenons.

25 And for the second side of the tabernacle, on the north side, he made twenty boards

26 And their forty sockets of silver, two sockets under one board and two sockets under the next board.

27 And for the rear of the tabernacle westward he made six boards.

28 And two boards he made for the corners of the tabernacle in the rear.

29 And they were double below, and at its top they were completely joined to a single ring; thus he did to both of them for the two corners.

30 And there were eight boards with their sockets of silver, sixteen sockets; two sockets under every board.

31 And he made bars of acacia wood, five for the boards of the one side of the tabernacle,

32 And five bars for the boards of the other side of the tabernacle, and five bars for the boards of the tabernacle at the rear westward.
