   1) Exodus 39 , Exodus 40   
      
      
   EXODUS 39   
      
   Making the Priestly Garments   
      
   1 (Ex 31:10; 35:19; 35:23) Now from the blue, purple, and scarlet   
   they made woven garments for serving in the holy place and made   
   the holy garments for Aaron, just as the Lord commanded Moses.   
      
      
   [1] And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service,   
   to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as   
   the LORD commanded Moses.   
      
   Making the Ephod   
   Ex 28:6-14   
      
   2 (Ex 28:6-12 ) He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet,   
    and fine twisted linen.   
   3 Then they hammered the gold into thin sheets and cut it into threads   
   to work them into the blue, the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen,   
    with skillful work.   
   4 They made shoulder pieces for it, in order to attach it together.   
   It was joined by the two edges together.   
   5 The skillfully woven waistband of his ephod that was on it was like it,   
    of the same material, of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet,   
    and fine twisted linen, just as the Lord commanded Moses.   
   6 (Ex 28:9) They set the onyx stones enclosed in gold filigree settings;   
   they were engraved like the engravings of a signet, according to the names   
    of the children of Israel.   
   7 (Ex 28:12; Jos 4:7) And he put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod,   
    to be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel,   
   just as the Lord commanded Moses.   
      
   [2] And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine   
   twined linen.   
   [3] And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to   
   work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine   
   linen, with cunning work.   
   [4] They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges   
   was it coupled together.   
   [5] And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same,   
   according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and   
   fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.   
   [6] And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as   
   signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.   
   [7] And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be   
   stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded   
   Moses.   
      
   Making the Breastplate   
   Ex 28:15-28   
      
   8 He made the breastplate, the work of a skillful workman,   
   like the workmanship of the ephod: of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet,   
    and fine twisted linen.   
   9 It was square. They made the breastplate folded double, a span   
   (About 9 inches, or 23 centimeters.)   
   long and a span wide when doubled.   
   10 They set in it four rows of stones. A row of sardius, topaz,   
    and carbuncle was the first row;   
   11 the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond;   
   12 the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;   
   13 and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper.   
   They were enclosed in settings of gold filigree.   
   14 (Rev 21:12) The stones were corresponding to   
   the names of the children of Israel, twelve,   
   corresponding to their names,   
   like the engravings of a signet,   
   each with its name,   
   corresponding to the twelve tribes.   
   (Reminders and Memorials)   
   15 They made on the breastplate braided chains like cords of pure gold.   
   16 They made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings   
   and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.   
   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.   
      
   [8] And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod;   
   of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.   
   [9] It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the   
   length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.   
   [10] And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a   
   topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.   
   [11] And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.   
   [12] And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.   
   [13] And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed   
   in ouches of gold in their inclosings.   
   [14] And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel,   
   twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one   
   with his name, according to the twelve tribes.   
   [15] And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work   
   of pure gold.   
   [16] And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two   
   rings in the two ends of the breastplate.   
   [17] And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the   
   ends of the breastplate.   
   [18] And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two   
   ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.   
   [19] And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the   
   breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod   
   inward.   
   [20] And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of   
   the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other   
   coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.   
   [21] And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the   
   ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the   
   ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the   
   LORD commanded Moses.   
      
   Making Other Priestly Garments   
   Ex 28:31 - 43   
      
   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 (Eze 44:18) They made tunics of finely woven linen   
   for Aaron and his sons,   
   28 (Ex 28:4) and the turban of fine linen,
