    24And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.

    25And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;

    26A 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,

    28And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,

    34And the covering of rams’ skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers’ skins, and the vail of the covering,

    35The ark of the testimony, and the staves thereof, and the mercy seat,

    36The table, and all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread,

    37The 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,
