The Materials for the Tabernacle (cont..)

'All the gold that was occupied for the work in all the work of the holy place, 
even the gold of the offering, 
was twenty and nine talents, 
and seven hundred and thirty shekels, 
after the shekel of the sanctuary.
And the silver of them that were numbered of the congregation 
was an hundred talents, 
and a thousand seven hundred and threescore and fifteen shekels,
after the shekel of the sanctuary:
A bekah for every man, that is, half a shekel, 
after the shekel of the sanctuary, 
for every one that went to be numbered, 
from twenty years old and upward, 
for six hundred thousand 
and three thousand 
and five hundred and fifty men.'
(Exodus 38:24-26)

Praise God!

The Materials for the Tabernacle (cont..)

'And of the hundred talents of silver 
were cast the sockets of the sanctuary, 
and the sockets of the vail; 
an hundred sockets of the hundred talents, 
a talent for a socket.
And of the thousand seven hundred seventy and five shekels 
he made hooks for the pillars, 
and overlaid their chapiters, 
and filleted them.
And the brass of the offering was seventy talents, 
and two thousand and four hundred shekels.
And therewith he made the sockets to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, 
and the brasen altar, 
and the brasen grate for it, 
and all the vessels of the altar,
And the sockets of the court round about, 
and the sockets of the court gate, 
and all the pins of the tabernacle, 
and all the pins of the court round about.'
(Exodus 38:27-31)

Praise God!

Making the Priestly Garments

'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.
And he made the ephod 
of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
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.
(Exodus 39:1-3)

Praise God!

Making the Priestly Garments (cont. ...)

'They made shoulderpieces for it, 
to couple it together: 
by the two edges was it coupled together.
And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, 
according to the work thereof; 
gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; 
as the LORD commanded Moses.
And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, 
graven, as signets are graven, 
with the names of the children of Israel.
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.'
(Exodus 39:4-7)  

Praise God!

The Making of the Priestly Garments (cont. ,,,)

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.
It was foursquare; 
they made the breastplate double: 
a span was the length thereof, 
and a span the breadth thereof, 
being doubled.
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.
And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: 
they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.
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.'
(Exodus 39:8-14) 

Praise God!

15And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold.

16And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.

17And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.

18And 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.

(Exodus 39:15-18)

[turtletwo]

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.

(Exodus 39:19-21)

[turtletwo]

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.

 

(Exodus 39:22-24)

 

* habergeon

KJV Dictionary Definition: habergeon

Definitions from Webster's American Dictionary of the English Language, 1828.

[turtletwo]

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.

(Exodus 39:25-26)

 

The High Priest had bells and decorative pomegranates sewn to the garment – making a noise that warned people of his approach. The whole community would have cleared a path for High Priest, and nothing untoward would have come into his path or in his line of sight. People WANTED him to maintain a high walk with God. People NEEDED him to keep himself clean and ready for the work of intercession.
