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 [Exodus 35:12](../../../kjv/exodus/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 [Exodus 30:7](../../../kjv/exodus/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.
