Exodus 39 Summary
The priestly garments are completed—the ephod, breastplate, robe, tunics, turban, and golden plate inscribed 'HOLINESS TO THE LORD.' The chapter repeatedly states that everything was made 'as the LORD commanded Moses.'
With every element of the Tabernacle and its furnishings complete, Moses inspects the work and blesses the people. The refrain of obedience echoes throughout, emphasizing that faithfulness to God's design is itself an act of worship.
