And they set it in four rows of stones; the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and an emerald; this was the first row.

And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper; they were inclosed and set in the work of gold in their inclosings.

And they made upon the breastplate chains at the two ends, of braided work of pure gold.

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

And they fastened the two braided chains of gold to the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.

And the two ends of the two braided chains they fastened to the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, in the front of it.

And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod from within.

And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod from within, toward the front of it, over against the other coupling thereof, above the embroidered girdle of the ephod.

And they did bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue, that it might be above the embroidered girdle of the ephod and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.

And they made the robe of the ephod of fine woven work, all of blue.

And they made on the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twined linen.

And they made bells of pure gold, and fastened the bells between the pomegranates on the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;

And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron and for his sons,

And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it an inscription like to the engraving of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.

And they tied to it a cord of blue to fasten it over the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.

Thus all the work of the tabernacle of the congregation was finished; and the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.

And they brought the tabernacle to Moses, the tent and all its vessels, its rings, its clasps, its boards, its pins, its bars, its pillars, and its sockets,

And Moses looked upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the LORD had commanded Moses, even so had they done it; and Moses blessed them.
