Exodus 39

¹⁰as well as the woven garments, both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests,

¹⁹and the woven garments for ministering in the holy place—both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests.”

²³Everyone who had blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen, goat hair, ram skins dyed red, or articles of fine leather, brought them.

²⁵Nor did He enter heaven to offer Himself again and again, as the high priest enters the Most Holy Place every year with blood that is not his own.

¹²He did not enter by the blood of goats and calves, but He entered the Most Holy Place once for all by His own blood, thus securing eternal redemption.

¹²This is the law of the temple: All its surrounding territory on top of the mountain will be most holy. Yes, this is the law of the temple.

⁶They are to make the ephod of finely spun linen embroidered with gold, and with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn.

⁷It shall have two shoulder pieces attached at two of its corners, so it can be fastened.

⁷He put the tunic on Aaron, tied the sash around him, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him. He tied the woven band of the ephod around him and fastened it to him.

⁷and onyx stones and gemstones to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.

¹“You are to construct the tabernacle itself with ten curtains of finely spun linen, each with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and cherubim skillfully worked into them.

⁸All the skilled craftsmen among the workmen made the ten curtains for the tabernacle. They were made of finely spun linen, as well as blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, with cherubim skillfully worked into them.

²⁰and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

¹³and among the lampstands was One like the Son of Man, dressed in a long robe, with a golden sash around His chest.

⁸And the skillfully woven waistband of the ephod must be of one piece, of the same workmanship—with gold, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and with finely spun linen.

⁵Take the garments and clothe Aaron with the tunic, the robe of the ephod, the ephod itself, and the breastplate. Fasten the ephod on him with its woven waistband.

⁵Righteousness will be the belt around His hips, and faithfulness the sash around His waist.

⁷He put the tunic on Aaron, tied the sash around him, clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod on him. He tied the woven band of the ephod around him and fastened it to him.

⁹Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:

¹³You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every kind of precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald. Your mountings and settings were crafted in gold, prepared on the day of your creation.

¹⁶It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, in precious onyx or sapphire.

⁷and onyx stones and gemstones to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.

⁹and onyx stones and gemstones to be mounted on the ephod and breastpiece.

⁷you are to tell them, ‘The waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord. When it crossed the Jordan, the waters were cut off.’ Therefore these stones will be a memorial to the Israelites forever.”

¹²Fasten both stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. Aaron is to bear their names on his two shoulders as a memorial before the Lord.

²⁹Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he shall bear the names of the sons of Israel over his heart on the breastpiece of judgment, as a continual reminder before the Lord.

²²While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it; this is My body.”

²³Then He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

²⁰So I answered them and said, “The God of heaven is the One who will grant us success. We, His servants, will start rebuilding, but you have no portion, right, or claim in Jerusalem.”

⁹And truly I tell you, wherever the gospel is preached in all the world, what she has done will also be told in memory of her.”

⁴These are the garments that they shall make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a woven tunic, a turban, and a sash. They are to make these holy garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so that they may serve Me as priests.

¹³Fashion gold filigree settings

¹⁴and two chains of pure gold, made of braided cord work; and attach these chains to the settings.

¹⁷He put on righteousness like a breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on His head; He put on garments of vengeance and wrapped Himself in a cloak of zeal.

⁸Then he put the breastpiece on him and placed the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece.

⁹Moses also put the turban on Aaron’s head and set the gold plate, the holy diadem, on the front of the turban, as the Lord had commanded him.

¹⁴Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness arrayed,

²⁸I will forever preserve My loving devotion for him, and My covenant with him will stand fast.

¹⁹The foundations of the city walls were adorned with every kind of precious stone: The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third chalcedony, the fourth emerald,

²⁰the fifth sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.

¹⁶It must be square when folded over double, a span long and a span wide.

¹⁷And mount on it a setting of gemstones, four rows of stones: In the first row there shall be a ruby, a topaz, and an emerald;

²¹The twelve stones are to correspond to the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.

¹⁸in the second row a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;

¹³You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every kind of precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, and diamond, beryl, onyx, and jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and emerald. Your mountings and settings were crafted in gold, prepared on the day of your creation.

¹²The city had a great and high wall with twelve gates inscribed with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, and twelve angels at the gates.

²⁸I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them out of My hand.

⁵He paneled the main room with cypress, which he overlaid with fine gold and decorated with palm trees and chains.

¹⁴and two chains of pure gold, made of braided cord work; and attach these chains to the settings.

¹Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, To those who are called, loved by God the Father, and kept in Jesus Christ:

⁵who through faith are shielded by God’s power for the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

¹⁰Your cheeks are beautiful with ornaments, your neck with strings of jewels.

¹²Cast four gold rings for it and fasten them to its four feet, two rings on one side and two on the other.

¹⁴and two chains of pure gold, made of braided cord work; and attach these chains to the settings.

¹⁰Your cheeks are beautiful with ornaments, your neck with strings of jewels.

³Five of the curtains are to be joined together, and the other five joined as well.

²⁵For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.

²⁷But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

²⁴Then Jesus told His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.

³¹You are to make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth,

³²with an opening at its top in the center. Around the opening shall be a woven collar with an opening like that of a garment, so that it will not tear.

²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

³³Make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn all the way around the lower hem, with gold bells between them,

¹³Your branches are an orchard of pomegranates with the choicest of fruits, with henna and nard,

³³Make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn all the way around the lower hem, with gold bells between them,

³⁴alternating the gold bells and pomegranates around the lower hem of the robe.

¹⁵Blessed are those who know the joyful sound, who walk, O Lord, in the light of Your presence.

³⁴alternating the gold bells and pomegranates around the lower hem of the robe.

⁷Your brow behind your veil is like a slice of pomegranate.

³Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon, and your mouth is lovely. Your brow behind your veil is like a slice of pomegranate.

²⁰Suddenly a woman who had suffered from bleeding for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak.

¹²You are to make tassels on the four corners of the cloak you wear.

¹³Your branches are an orchard of pomegranates with the choicest of fruits, with henna and nard,

¹⁸They are to wear linen turbans on their heads and linen undergarments around their waists. They must not wear anything that makes them perspire.

¹³Therefore prepare your minds for action. Be sober-minded. Set your hope fully on the grace to be given you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

³⁹You are to weave the tunic with fine linen, make the turban of fine linen, and fashion an embroidered sash.

⁴⁰Make tunics, sashes, and headbands for Aaron’s sons, to give them glory and splendor.

¹⁴Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the desires of the flesh.

²⁷For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

¹⁰I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with garments of salvation and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom wears a priestly headdress, as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

⁴These are the garments that they shall make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a woven tunic, a turban, and a sash. They are to make these holy garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so that they may serve Me as priests.

³⁹You are to weave the tunic with fine linen, make the turban of fine linen, and fashion an embroidered sash.

⁴²Make linen undergarments to cover their bare flesh, extending from waist to thigh.

¹⁸They are to wear linen turbans on their heads and linen undergarments around their waists. They must not wear anything that makes them perspire.

³⁹You are to weave the tunic with fine linen, make the turban of fine linen, and fashion an embroidered sash.

²⁶Such a high priest truly befits us—One who is holy, innocent, undefiled, set apart from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.

¹⁰You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign upon the earth.”

³⁶You are to make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it as on a seal: HOLY TO THE Lord.

³⁷Fasten to it a blue cord to mount it on the turban; it shall be on the front of the turban.

³The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature, upholding all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.

³⁰It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God: our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.

²¹God made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

⁴²The Israelites had done all the work just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

⁴³And Moses inspected all the work and saw that they had accomplished it just as the Lord had commanded. So Moses blessed them.

⁴⁰See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.

²⁰and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

³²See that you do everything I command you; do not add to it or subtract from it.

⁴This service of the Kohathites at the Tent of Meeting regards the most holy things.

⁵Whenever the camp sets out, Aaron and his sons are to go in, take down the veil of the curtain, and cover the ark of the Testimony with it.

²⁵The duties of the Gershonites at the Tent of Meeting were the tabernacle and tent, its covering, the curtain for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,

²⁶the curtains of the courtyard, the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard that surrounds the tabernacle and altar, and the cords—all the service for these items.

⁷the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony and the mercy seat upon it, and all the other furnishings of the tent—

⁸the table with its utensils, the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense,

¹¹the tabernacle with its tent and covering, its clasps and frames, its crossbars, posts, and bases;

¹²the ark with its poles and mercy seat, and the veil to shield it;

¹Then the Lord said to Moses,

²“Tell the Israelites to bring Me an offering. You are to receive My offering from every man whose heart compels him.

¹“So Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person are to carry out everything commanded by the Lord, who has given them skill and ability to know how to perform all the work of constructing the sanctuary.”

²Then Moses summoned Bezalel, Oholiab, and every skilled person whom the Lord had gifted—everyone whose heart stirred him to come and do the work.

⁵Above the ark were the cherubim of glory, overshadowing the mercy seat. But we cannot discuss these things in detail now.

⁸By this arrangement the Holy Spirit was showing that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still standing.

¹⁷And you are to construct a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

⁴⁸Solomon also made all the furnishings for the house of the Lord: the golden altar; the golden table on which was placed the Bread of the Presence;

³⁰And place the Bread of the Presence on the table before Me at all times.

¹⁵so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine as lights in the world

²¹In the Tent of Meeting, outside the veil that is in front of the Testimony, Aaron and his sons are to tend the lamps before the Lord from evening until morning. This is to be a permanent statute for the Israelites for the generations to come.

³¹Then you are to make a lampstand of pure, hammered gold. It shall be made of one piece, including its base and shaft, its cups, and its buds and petals.

¹⁴You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden.

¹⁵Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.

⁷And Aaron is to burn fragrant incense on it every morning when he tends the lamps.

¹¹in addition to the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them according to all that I have commanded you.”

²⁹He also made the sacred anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense, the work of a perfumer.

³Overlay with pure gold the top and all the sides and horns, and make a molding of gold around it.

⁶olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;

⁸olive oil for the light; spices for the anointing oil and for the fragrant incense;

³⁰He used it to make the bases for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the bronze altar and its bronze grating, all the utensils for the altar,

⁶⁴On that same day the king consecrated the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of the Lord, and there he offered the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, since the bronze altar before the Lord was too small to contain all these offerings.

⁹You are also to make a courtyard for the tabernacle. On the south side of the courtyard make curtains of finely spun linen, a hundred cubits long on one side,

¹⁰with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases, and silver hooks and bands on the posts.

¹⁰as well as the woven garments, both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests,

²Make holy garments for your brother Aaron, to give him glory and splendor.

¹From the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn they made specially woven garments for ministry in the sanctuary, as well as the holy garments for Aaron, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

¹⁰Let every skilled craftsman among you come and make everything that the Lord has commanded:

³²So all the work for the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, was completed. The Israelites did everything just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

¹⁵Make every effort to present yourself approved to God, an unashamed workman who accurately handles the word of truth.

³²See that you do everything I command you; do not add to it or subtract from it.

¹Then the Lord said to Moses,

²“Tell the Israelites to bring Me an offering. You are to receive My offering from every man whose heart compels him.

²⁰and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

²³“Tell Aaron and his sons: This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:

²⁴‘May the Lord bless you and keep you;

²²Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them. And having made the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offering, he stepped down.

²³Moses and Aaron then entered the Tent of Meeting. When they came out, they blessed the people, and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people.

¹⁴And as the whole assembly of Israel stood there, the king turned around and blessed them all

¹⁸When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of Hosts.

²⁷Then the priests and the Levites stood to bless the people, and God heard their voice, and their prayer came into His holy dwelling place in heaven.

³And as the whole assembly of Israel stood there, the king turned around and blessed them all
