Exodus 39:17-34 Modern English Version (MEV)

17. They put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.

18. The other two ends of the two braided chains they fastened in the two filigree settings and put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front of it.

19. They made two rings of gold and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it which was on the inner side of the ephod.

20. They made two other golden rings and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the front of it, over against where it joined, above the waistband of the ephod.

21. They bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue cord, so that it might be above the waistband of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not come loose from the ephod, just as the Lord commanded Moses.

22. Then he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.

23. There was an opening in the middle of the robe, like the opening of a coat of mail, with a band all around the opening so that it should not be torn.

24. They made on the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet, and twisted linen.

25. They made bells of pure gold and put the bells between the pomegranates all around on the hem of the robe.

26. There was a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, all around about the hem of the robe to be used in service, just as the Lord commanded Moses.

27. They made tunics of finely woven linen for Aaron and his sons,

28. and the turban of fine linen, and the decorated caps of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twisted linen.

29. The sash was of fine twisted linen and blue, purple, and scarlet, the work of an embroiderer, just as the Lord commanded Moses.

30. They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold and wrote on it an inscription, like the engravings of a signet:

31. They attached to it a blue cord, to fasten it to the turban above, just as the Lord commanded Moses.

32. Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was finished, and the children of Israel did according to all that the Lord commanded Moses—so they did.

33. They brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its furnishings: its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets;

34. and the covering of rams’ skins dyed red, and the covering of porpoise skins, and the screening veil;
