Exodus 39

¹Of the blue, purple, and scarlet, they made finely worked garments for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron, as the LORD commanded Moses.

²He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen.

³They beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in with the blue, the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen, the work of the skillful workman.

⁴They made shoulder straps for it, joined together. It was joined together at the two ends.

⁵The skillfully woven band that was on it, with which to fasten it on, was of the same piece, like its work: of gold, of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, as the LORD commanded Moses.

⁶They worked the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold, engraved with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children of Israel.

⁷He put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel, as the LORD commanded Moses.

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

⁹It was square. They made the breastplate double. Its length was a span, and its width a span, being double.

¹⁰They set in it four rows of stones. A row of ruby, topaz, and beryl was the first row;

¹¹and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;
