Exegesis
The verb ʿasu {עָשׂוּ | ʿā-sû} links these materials to bigdei-srad {בִגְדֵי־שָׂרָד | biğ-dē-î-śā-rād} ‘garments of service’, and the infinitive ləšāret {לְשָׁרֵת | lə-šā-rêt} establishes purpose with ba-qōdeš {בַּקֹּדֶשׁ | ba-qō-deš} ‘in the sanctuary’.
In context — Exodus 39:1
And from the blue, the purple, and the scarlet they made garments of service for ministering in the sanctuary, and they made the holy garments for Aaron, as the LORD commanded Moses.
