The Clothes for the Priests
1The workers made clothes from the blue, purple and bright red yarn. The clothes were worn by the priests who served in the holy tent. The workers also made sacred clothes for Aaron. They made them just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
The Linen Apron
2The workers made the linen apron. They made it out of thin gold wire, and of blue, purple and bright red yarn, and of finely twisted linen. 3They hammered out thin sheets of gold. They cut it into thin wire. Then they sewed it into the blue, purple and bright red yarn and fine linen. Skilled workers made it. 4The workers made shoulder straps for the apron. The straps were joined to two of its corners. 5Its skillfully made waistband was made like the apron. The waistband was part of the apron itself. It was made out of thin gold wire, and out of blue, purple and bright red yarn, and out of finely twisted linen. The workers made it just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
6They put the onyx stones in fancy gold settings. They carved the names of the sons of Israel on the stones. They did it the way a jewel cutter would carve them. 7Then they connected them to the shoulder straps of the linen apron. The stones stood for the sons of Israel and were a constant reminder for them. The workers did those things just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
The Chest Cloth
8Skilled workers made the chest cloth. They made it like the linen apron. They used thin gold wire, and blue, purple and bright red yarn, and finely twisted linen. 9The chest cloth was nine inches square. It was folded in half. 10The workers put four rows of valuable jewels on it. Carnelian, chrysolite and beryl were in the first row. 11Turquoise, lapis lazuli and emerald were in the second row. 12Jacinth, agate and amethyst were in the third row. 13And topaz, onyx and jasper were in the fourth row. The workers put them in fancy gold settings. 14They used a total of 12 stones. There was one stone for each of the names of the sons of Israel. Each stone was carved with the name of one of the 12 tribes.
15The workers made braided chains out of pure gold for the chest cloth. They made them like ropes. 16They made two fancy gold settings and two gold rings. They connected them to two corners of the chest cloth. 17They joined the two gold chains to the rings at the corners of the chest cloth. 18They joined the other ends of the chains to the two settings. They joined them to the shoulder straps on the front of the linen apron. 19The workers made two gold rings. They connected them to the other two corners of the chest cloth. They put them on the inside edge next to the apron. 20Then they made two more gold rings. They connected them to the bottom of the shoulder straps on the front of the apron. They put them close to the seam. They put them right above the waistband of the apron. 21They tied the rings of the chest cloth to the rings of the apron with blue cord. That connected it to the waistband. Then the chest cloth would not swing out from the linen apron. The workers did those things just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
More Clothes for the Priests
22The workers made the outer robe of the linen apron completely out of blue cloth. The cloth was made by a skillful person. 23The workers made an opening in the center of the robe. They made an edge like a collar around the opening. Then it couldn’t tear. 24They made pomegranates out of blue, purple and bright red yarn and finely twisted linen. They sewed them around the hem of the robe. 25They made bells out of pure gold. They sewed them around the hem between the pomegranates. 26They sewed a bell between every two pomegranates all around the hem of the robe. Aaron had to wear the robe when he served as priest. That’s what the Lord commanded Moses.
27The workers made inner robes out of fine linen for Aaron and his sons. The linen cloth was made by a skillful person. 28The workers also made the turban out of fine linen. And they made the caps and the underwear out of finely twisted linen. 29The belt was made out of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and bright red yarn. A person who sewed skillfully made it. The workers did those things just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
30They made the plate out of pure gold. It was a sacred crown. On the plate, they carved the words
Set Apart for the Lord.
31Then they tied the plate to the turban with a blue cord. They did those things just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
The Holy Tent Is Completed
32So all the work on the holy tent, the tent of meeting, was completed. The Israelites did everything just as the Lord had commanded Moses. 33Then they brought the holy tent to Moses along with everything that belonged to it. Here are the things they brought:
hooks, frames, crossbars, posts and bases
34the covering of ram skins dyed red, the covering of another kind of strong leather and the curtain that hides the ark
35the ark where the tablets of the covenant law are kept, the poles and the cover for the ark
36the table for the holy bread with all its things and the holy bread
37the pure gold lampstand with its row of lamps and everything used with it, and the olive oil that gives light

39the bronze altar for burnt offerings with its bronze grate, its poles and all its tools

42The Israelites had done all the work just as the Lord had commanded Moses. 43Moses looked over the work carefully. He saw that the workers had done it just as the Lord had commanded. So Moses gave them his blessing.

22以弗得的外袍用純藍色的線織成， 23上面有領口，領口上織領邊，像鎧甲上的領口一樣，免得領口破裂。 24外袍的底邊用細麻線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線做成石榴狀的飾物， 25又造純金的鈴鐺掛在外袍底邊的石榴間， 26一個石榴一個金鈴鐺，相間排列，圍在外袍的底邊。這件外袍是祭司供職時穿的，正如耶和華對摩西的吩咐。
