Exodus 39:20-29 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

20. Two more gold rings were made and fastened to the bottom of the two shoulder straps next to where they joined the ephod in front, just above its embroidered belt.

21. Violet ribbons bound the rings of the breastpiece to the rings of the ephod, so that the breastpiece stayed right above the embroidered belt of the ephod and did not swing loose from it. All this was just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

22. The robe of the ephod was woven entirely of violet yarn,

23. with an opening in its center like the opening of a shirt, with selvage around the opening to keep it from being torn.

24. At the hem of the robe pomegranates were made of violet, purple, and scarlet yarn and of fine linen twined;

25. bells of pure gold were also made and put between the pomegranates all around the hem of the robe:

26. a bell, a pomegranate, a bell, a pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe which was to be worn in performing the ministry—all this, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

27. For Aaron and his sons there were also woven tunics of fine linen;

28. the turban of fine linen; the ornate skullcaps of fine linen; linen pants of fine linen twined;

29. and sashes of variegated work made of fine linen twined and of violet, purple, and scarlet yarn, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
