039:011 and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire{or, lapis lazuli},
and an emerald;
039:012 and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
039:013 and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper.
They were enclosed in gold settings.
039:014 The stones were according to the names of the children of Israel,
twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet,
everyone according to his name, for the twelve tribes.
039:015 They made on the breastplate chains like cords, of braided
work of pure gold.
039:016 They made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put
the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
039:017 They put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings
at the ends of the breastplate.
039:018 The other two ends of the two braided chains they put on the
two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod,
in the front of it.
039:019 They made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends
of the breastplate, on the edge of it, which was toward
the side of the ephod inward.
039:020 They made two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder
straps of the ephod underneath, in the front of it, close by
its coupling, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.
039:021 They bound the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod
with a lace of blue, that it might be on the skillfully woven
band of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not come
loose from the ephod, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
039:022 He made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
039:023 The opening of the robe in the midst of it was like the opening
of a coat of mail, with a binding around its opening,
that it should not be torn.
039:024 They made on the skirts of the robe pomegranates of blue,
purple, scarlet, and twined linen.
039:025 They made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between
the pomegranates around the skirts of the robe,
between the pomegranates;
039:026 a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, around the
skirts of the robe, to minister in, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
039:027 They made the coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron,
and for his sons,
039:028 and the turban of fine linen, and the linen headbands of fine linen,
and the linen breeches of fine twined linen,
039:029 and the sash of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet,
the work of the embroiderer, as Yahweh commanded Moses.
039:030 They made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold,
and wrote on it a writing, like the engravings of a signet:
"HOLY TO YAHWEH."
039:031 They tied to it a lace of blue, to fasten it on the turban above,
as Yahweh commanded Moses.
039:032 Thus all the work of the tent of the tent of meeting was finished.
