39:1 And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made {a} cloths of service, to do service in the holy [place], and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the LORD commanded Moses. (a) As coverings for the ark, the candlestick, the altars and such like. 39:6 And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as {b} signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel. (b) That is, of very fine and curious workmanship. 39:12 And the third row, {c} a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst. (c) Or, a turkeis, a stone which the authors write comes from the urine of the Lynx. 39:14 And the stones [were] according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, {d} according to their names, [like] the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes. (d) That is, every tribe had his name written on a stone. 39:22 And he made the robe of the {e} ephod [of] woven work, all [of] blue. (e) Which was next under the Ephod. 39:23 And {f} [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. (f) Where he could put his head through. 39:34 And the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the {g} vail of the covering, (g) So called, because it hung before the mercyseat and covered it from sight Ex 35:12. 39:37 The pure candlestick, [with] the lamps thereof, [even with] the lamps to be {h} set in order, and all the vessels thereof, and the oil for light, (h) Or, which Aaron dressed and refreshed with oil every morning Ex 30:7. 39:42 According to all that the LORD {i} commanded Moses, so the children of Israel made all the work. (i) Signifying that in God's matters man may neither add, nor diminish. 39:43 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 {k} blessed them. (k) Praised God for the peoples diligence and prayed for them. | |
