And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.

And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, and brought the LORD'S offering, for the work of the tent of meeting, and for all the service thereof, and for the holy garments.

And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought brooches, and earrings, and signet-rings, and armlets, all jewels of gold; even every man that offered an offering of gold unto the LORD.

And all the women that were wise hearted did spin with their hands, and brought that which they had spun, the blue, and the purple, the scarlet, and the fine linen.

and they received of Moses all the offering, which the children of Israel had brought for the work of the service of the sanctuary, to make it withal. And they brought yet unto him freewill offerings every morning.

And all the wise men, that wrought all the work of the sanctuary, came every man from his work which they wrought;

and they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the LORD commanded to make.

And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.

And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made finely wrought garments, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.

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, the work of the cunning workman.

And they wrought the onyx stones, enclosed in ouches of gold, graven with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children of Israel.

It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being double.

And they set in it four rows of stones: a row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle was the first row.

And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were enclosed in ouches of gold in their settings.

And they made upon the breastplate chains like cords, of wreathen work of pure gold.

And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

And they put the two wreathen chains of gold on the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.
