Commentary
Exodus chapter 39 is the final chapter of the book of Exodus and it details the completion of the tabernacle and the garments of the priests. The chapter begins with a description of the making of the priestly garments, which were made of fine linen and gold, blue, purple, and scarlet yarn. The garments included the ephod, the breastpiece, the robe, the tunic, the turban, and the sash. The chapter then goes on to describe the making of the tabernacle, which was made of acacia wood and covered with gold. The tabernacle was divided into two parts, the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place. The chapter ends with a description of the completion of the tabernacle and the garments of the priests.
