      ²⁶ a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about, to minister in; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

      ²⁷ And they made the coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,

      ²⁸ and the mitre of fine linen, and the goodly head-tires of fine linen, and the linen breeches of fine twined linen,

      ²⁹ and the girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, the work of the embroiderer; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

      ³⁰ And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like the engravings of a signet, HOLY TO JEHOVAH.

      ³¹ And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it upon the mitre above; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

      ³² Thus was finished all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting: and the children of Israel did according to all that Jehovah commanded Moses; so did they.

      ³³ And they brought the tabernacle unto Moses, the Tent, and all its furniture, its clasps, its boards, it bars, and its pillars, and it sockets;

      ³⁴ and the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of sealskins, and the veil of the screen;

      ³⁵ the ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy-seat;

      ³⁶ the table, all the vessels thereof, and the showbread;

      ³⁷ the pure candlestick, the lamps thereof, even the lamps to be set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for the light;

      ³⁸ and the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the screen for the door of the Tent;

      ³⁹ the brazen altar, and its grating of brass, its staves, and all its vessels, the laver and its base;

      ⁴⁰ the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its sockets, and the screen for the gate of the court, the cords thereof, and the pins thereof, and all the instruments of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;

      ⁴¹ the finely wrought garments for ministering in the holy place, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office.

      ⁴² According to all that Jehovah commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did all the work.

      ⁴³ And Moses saw all the work, and, behold, they had done it; as Jehovah had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
