Exodus 39:1-7 God's Word Translation (GW)

1. From the violet, purple, and bright red yarn they made special clothes worn for official duties in the holy place. They also made the holy clothes for Aaron. They followed the Lord’s instructions to Moses.

2. They made the ephod out of fine linen yarn and gold, violet, purple, and bright red yarn.

3. They hammered the gold into thin sheets and cut them up. They twisted the gold into threads, which they creatively worked into each strand of the violet, purple, and bright red yarn, and throughout the fine linen.

4. They made two shoulder straps attached at the ⌊top⌋ corners so that the ephod could be fastened.

5. They made the belt that is attached to the ephod out of the same fabric. They followed the Lord’s instructions to Moses.

6. They mounted the onyx stones in gold settings, and engraved on them the names of the sons of Israel.

7. Then they fastened them on the shoulder straps of the ephod as a reminder of who the Israelites are. They followed the Lord’s instructions to Moses.
