Exodus 39
Reading Exodus chapter 39 in the Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, public-domain text from 1899.
Verses 1–10
1 And he made, of violet and purple, scarlet and fine linen, the vestments for Aaron to wear when he ministered in the holy places, as the Lord commanded Moses.
2 So he made an ephod of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen,
3 With embroidered work, and he cut thin plates of gold, and drew them small into threads, that they might be twisted with the woof of the foresaid colours,
4 And two borders coupled one to the other in the top on either side,
5 And a girdle of the same colours, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
6 He prepared also two onyx stones, fast set and closed in gold, and graven, by the art of a lapidary, with the names of the children of Israel:
7 And he set them in the sides of the ephod, for a memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
8 He made also a rational with embroidered work, according to the work of the ephod, of gold, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen:
9 Foursquare, double, of the measure of a span.
10 And he set four rows of precious stones in it. In the first row was a sardius, a topaz, an emerald.
