17. They fastened the two gold ropes to the rings at the ⌊top⌋ corners of the breastplate.
18. They fastened the other ends of the ropes to the two settings on the shoulder straps of the ephod ⌊so that the breastplate hung⌋ in front of it.
19. They made two gold rings and fastened them to the other two corners of the breastplate on the inside edge next to the ephod.
20. They made two ⌊more⌋ gold rings and fastened them to the bottom of the shoulder straps on the front of the ephod. This was close to the seam just above the belt of the ephod.
21. Then they fastened the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a violet cord. So the breastplate was attached just above the belt of the ephod and was held in place. They followed the Lord’s instructions to Moses.
22. They made the robe that is worn with the ephod, woven entirely of violet yarn.
23. The opening in the center of the robe had a finished edge (like a leather collar ) all around it to keep it from tearing.
24. On the hem of the robe they made pomegranates of violet, purple, and bright red yarn, and fine yarn.
25. They made bells out of pure gold and fastened them in between the pomegranates all around the hem of the robe.
26. A gold bell alternated with a pomegranate all around the hem of the robe that is worn by Aaron when he serves as priest. They followed the Lord’s instructions to Moses.
27. They wove inner robes out of fine linen for Aaron and his sons.
28. They also made the chief priest’s turban and the other beautiful turbans out of fine linen. They made the undergarments and belt out of fine linen yarn.
29. The belt was embroidered with violet, purple, and bright red yarn. They followed the Lord’s instructions to Moses.
30. They made the flower-shaped medallion (the holy crown) out of pure gold and engraved on it (as on a signet ring): Holy to the Lord.
31. They fastened a violet cord to it and tied it on top of the turban. They followed the Lord’s instructions to Moses.
32. So all the work on the inner tent (the tent of meeting) was now done. The Israelites followed all the Lord’s instructions to Moses.
33. Then they brought everything to Moses—the inner tent, the outer tent and all its furnishings, the fasteners, frames, crossbars, posts, sockets,
34. the cover made of rams’ skins dyed red, the cover made of fine leather, the canopy over ⌊the ark⌋,
35. the ark containing the words of God’s promise with its poles and the throne of mercy,
