Exodus 39:22-43
New American Standard Bible
22 (A)Then he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of violet; 23 (B)and the opening of the robe was at the top in the center, as the opening of a coat of mail, with a binding all around its opening, so that it would not be torn. 24 And they made pomegranates of violet, purple, and scarlet material and twisted linen on the hem of the robe. 25 They also made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates all around on the hem of the [a]robe, 26 [b]alternating a bell and a pomegranate all around on the hem of the robe for the service, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
27 (C)They also made the tunics of finely woven linen for Aaron and his sons, 28 and the turban of fine linen, and the decorated [c]caps of fine linen, and the linen undergarments of fine twisted linen, 29 and the sash of fine twisted linen, and violet, purple, and scarlet material, the work of the [d]weaver, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
30 (D)They also made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and [e]inscribed it like the engravings of a signet, “Holy to the Lord.” 31 Then they [f]fastened a violet cord to it, to [g]fasten it on the turban above, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
32 So all the work of the [h]tabernacle of the tent of meeting was completed; and the sons of Israel did according to all that the Lord had commanded Moses; so they did. 33 Then they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its [i]furnishings: its clasps, its boards, its bars, its pillars, and its bases; 34 and the covering of rams’ skins [j]dyed red, and the covering of [k]fine leather, and the covering curtain; 35 the ark of the testimony, its poles, and the [l]atoning cover; 36 the table, all its utensils, and the bread of the [m]Presence; 37 the pure gold lampstand, [n]with its arrangement of lamps and all its utensils, and the oil for the light; 38 and the gold altar, and the anointing oil and the fragrant incense, and the curtain for the doorway of the tent; 39 the [o]bronze altar and its [p]bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils, the basin and its stand; 40 the hangings for the courtyard, its pillars and its bases, and the curtain for the gate of the courtyard, its ropes and its pegs, and all the [q]equipment for the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting; 41 the woven garments for ministering in the Holy Place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments of his sons, to serve as priests. 42 So the sons of Israel did all the work according to everything that the Lord had commanded Moses. 43 And Moses [r]examined all the work, and behold, they had done it; just as the Lord had commanded, this they had done. So Moses (E)blessed them.

Other Priestly Garments(A)
22 They made the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth—the work of a weaver— 23 with an opening in the center of the robe like the opening of a collar,[a] and a band around this opening, so that it would not tear. 24 They made pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen around the hem of the robe. 25 And they made bells of pure gold and attached them around the hem between the pomegranates. 26 The bells and pomegranates alternated around the hem of the robe to be worn for ministering, as the Lord commanded Moses.
27 For Aaron and his sons, they made tunics of fine linen(B)—the work of a weaver— 28 and the turban(C) of fine linen, the linen caps and the undergarments of finely twisted linen. 29 The sash was made of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn—the work of an embroiderer—as the Lord commanded Moses.
30 They made the plate, the sacred emblem, out of pure gold and engraved on it, like an inscription on a seal: holy to the Lord.(D) 31 Then they fastened a blue cord to it to attach it to the turban,(E) as the Lord commanded Moses.
Moses Inspects the Tabernacle(F)
32 So all the work on the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, was completed. The Israelites did everything just as the Lord commanded Moses.(G) 33 Then they brought the tabernacle(H) to Moses: the tent and all its furnishings, its clasps, frames, crossbars, posts and bases; 34 the covering of ram skins dyed red and the covering of another durable leather[b] and the shielding curtain; 35 the ark of the covenant law(I) with its poles and the atonement cover; 36 the table(J) with all its articles and the bread of the Presence;(K) 37 the pure gold lampstand(L) with its row of lamps and all its accessories,(M) and the olive oil(N) for the light; 38 the gold altar,(O) the anointing oil,(P) the fragrant incense,(Q) and the curtain(R) for the entrance to the tent; 39 the bronze altar(S) with its bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils; the basin(T) with its stand; 40 the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard;(U) the ropes and tent pegs for the courtyard; all the furnishings for the tabernacle, the tent of meeting; 41 and the woven garments(V) worn for ministering in the sanctuary, both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when serving as priests.
42 The Israelites had done all the work just as the Lord had commanded Moses.(W) 43 Moses inspected the work and saw that they had done it just as the Lord had commanded.(X) So Moses blessed(Y) them.
