tix them; thus there were twelve stones with the names of the sons of Israel; with the names engraven like a. seal; each with one name of the twelve tribes. They also made for the breastplete
chain 'borderings of pleited work of pure gold. Beside which they made two gold fastenings, and two buttons of gold, and fixed the two buttons upon the two sides of the breastplate, and placed the two chains of gold upon the two buttons at the sides of the breastplate, and the two ends of the two chains they fixed upon the two buttons, and fastened them upon the two shoulders over the front of them. They also made two gold buttons and placed them upon the two edges of the breastplate, upon the lips which went over the ephod inwards. Besides they made two buttons of gold and fixed them upon the two shoulders of the ephod before and behindto unite together at the top of the ephod with the breastplate; and they laced the breastplate, from button to button to the ephod with laces of azure, to secure the breastplate to the ephod, so that the breastplate might not fall off from the ephod ;——-as the EvER—LiV1NG had commanded to Moses. They also made a mantle for the
ephod, of azure woven velvet; and the mouth of the mantle was in the middle of it, like a coat of mail, with a binding around it so that it might not tear. And they made on the hem of the mantle pomegranates of azure, and purple. and blne—red, with em- broidery; and also made bells of pure gold, and tixed the bells between the pomegranates, upon the hem around the mantle between the pome- granates; a bell and a pomegranate upon the hem around the mantle ;—as the Ev12a—L1v1No commanded to Moses. '1`hey also made vests of woven
linen work for Aaron and his sons, and turbans of linen, and mitres of linen, and white drawers of spun linen ; with girdles of spun linen, and azure, and blue—red, as the EVER- Livmo commanded Moses. They also made the flower of the
Holy Crown of pure gold, and en- graved upon it, with the engraving of a Holiness to the EVER—L1V1NG,’ and fixed a cord of azure upon it to fasten it upon the top, as the EVER- Llvmo commanded to Moses. Thus were completed all the
appliances for the Hall of Assembly. They were made in the manner that the EVER-Lrvmo commanded to Moses. Therefore they brought the tent to
Moses ;—the sanctuary and all its furniture, its hooks, its planks, its bars, its pillars and bases; and the awning of red ram skins, and the awning of 'badger skins, and curtains for the skreen; with the Ark of Witnesses, and its staves, and its covers; and the table, and all its furniture ; and the Shewbread,1 with the Lamp of Splendour, and its re~ fiectors, and its series of lamps, and the whole of its appliances; and the oil for the lamps; with the altar· of gold, and the Oil of Consecration, and the sweet incense; and the skreen of the veil of the pavilion. The brazen altar; and the brass grating for it; its staves, and all its instru- ments; the bath and its buckets; the curtains of the court, its pillars and their bases; and the skreen for the gate of the court; its ropes and pegs, and the rest of the appliances for the uses ofthe tent ofthe Hall of Assembly. The ornamented robes for service in the sanctuary; the sacred robes for Aaron, the priest, and the robes for 33 34 35 37 39
his sons, the priests; according to 42 all that the Evan-Lrviuo commanded to Moses, the children of Israel made the whole for the service. Then Moses inspected all the 43 work, to see if they had made all of it according to the command of the EvEn»L1v1No. They had done so, and Moses blessed them. fllummxuufr in llirzri tbz Blunt. Then the Evan-Lxvrrzo spoke to 40 Moses, saying: To-morrow is the first month. 2 Upon the first ofthe month you shall set up the tent ofthe Hall of Assem bly, and place there the Ark of Witnesses, 3 and cover the ark with the veil. Then you shall bring the table, and 4 arrange its appliances, and bringthe Golden Lamp, and set up its re- flectors; and place the golden altar of incense before the Ark of the Witnesses, and tix the skreen of the doors to the tabernacle.
