Exodus 39
Exodus 39:1 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of
service, to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for
Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses.
2 And he made the
ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
3 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, with cunning work.
4 They made shoulderpieces
for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.
5 And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of
the same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and
scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the LORD commanded Moses.
6
And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets
are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.
7 And
he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be stones for a
memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.
8 And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the
ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9 It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was
the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.
10 And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a
sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.
11
And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
12
And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
13 And
the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches
of gold in their inclosings.
14 And the stones were according
to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names,
like the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the
twelve tribes.
15 And they made upon the breastplate chains
at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold.
16 And they made
two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two
ends of the breastplate.
17 And they put the two wreathen chains
of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.
18
And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches,
and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.
19
And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the
breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod
inward.
20 And they made two other golden rings, and put them
on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over
against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.
21 And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the
rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious
girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the
ephod; as the LORD commanded Moses.
22 And he made the robe
of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.
23 And there was an
hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band
round about the hole, that it should not rend.
24 And they
made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and
scarlet, and twined linen.
25 And they made bells of
pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the
robe, round about between the pomegranates;
26 A bell and a
pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to
minister in; as the LORD commanded Moses.
27 And they made
coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,
28
And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen
breeches of fine twined linen,
29 And a girdle of fine twined
linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the LORD
commanded Moses.
30 And they made the plate of the holy crown
of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a
signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
31 And they tied unto it a lace
of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the LORD commanded Moses.
32 Thus was all the work of the tabernacle of the tent of the
congregation finished: and the children of Israel did according to all that
the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
33 And they brought
the tabernacle unto Moses, the tent, and all his furniture, his taches, his
boards, his bars, and his pillars, and his sockets,
34
And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers'
skins, and the vail of the covering,
35 The ark of the
testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,
36 The
table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,
37 The
pure candlestick, with the lamps thereof, even with the lamps to be set in
order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light,
38
And the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the sweet incense, and the
hanging for the tabernacle door,
39 The brasen altar, and his
grate of brass, his staves, and all his vessels, the laver and his foot,
40 The hangings of the court, his pillars, and his sockets, and
the hanging for the court gate, his cords, and his pins, and all the vessels
of the service of the tabernacle, for the tent of the congregation,
41 The cloths of service to do service in the holy place, and the
holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to minister in
the priest's office.
42 According to all that the LORD
commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work.
43
And Moses did look upon all the work, and, behold, they had done it as the
LORD had commanded, even so had they done it: and Moses blessed them.
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
