Exodus 39:32-43

The Priestly Garments Completed and the Tabernacle Work Inspected

The chapter moves from the making of the woven garments for ministry, to the ephod, shoulder stones, breastpiece, robe, tunics, turban, sashes, and sacred gold plate, then to the completion and inspection of all tabernacle components. Moses sees that the work has been done just as the LORD commanded, and he blesses the people.

32 So all the work for the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, was completed. The Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

33 Then they brought the tabernacle to Moses: the tent with all its furnishings, its clasps, its frames, its crossbars, and its posts and bases;

34 the covering of ram skins dyed red, the covering of fine leather, and the veil of the covering;

35 the ark of the Testimony with its poles and the mercy seat;

36 the table with all its utensils and the Bread of the Presence;

37 the pure gold lampstand with its row of lamps and all its utensils, as well as the oil for the light;

38 the gold altar, the anointing oil, the fragrant incense, and the curtain for the entrance to the tent;

39 the bronze altar with its bronze grating, its poles, and all its utensils; the basin with its stand;

40 the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases; the curtain for the gate of the courtyard, its ropes and tent pegs, and all the equipment for the service of the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting;

41 and the woven garments for ministering in the sanctuary, both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests.

42 The Israelites had done all the work just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

43 And Moses inspected all the work and saw that they had accomplished it just as the LORD had commanded. So Moses blessed them.
