¹ And take you to you Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister to me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons. ² And you will make holy garments for Aaron your brother for glory and for beauty. ³ And you will speak to all that are wise hearted, who I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he may minister to me in the priest's office. ⁴ And these are the garments which they will make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they will make holy garments for Aaron your brother, and his sons, that he may minister to me in the priest's office. ⁵ And they will take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet , and fine linen. ⁶ And they will make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet , and fine twined linen, with cunning work. ⁷ It will have the two shoulderpieces of it joined at the two edges of it and so it will be joined together. ⁸ And the curious girdle of the ephod, which is on it, will be of the same, according to the work of it; even of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet , and fine twined linen. ⁹ And you will take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel ¹⁰ Six of their names on one stone, and the other six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth. ¹¹ With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, will you engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel: you will make them to be set in ouches of gold. ¹² And you will put the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod for stones of memorial to the children of Israel: and Aaron will bear their names before the LORD on his two shoulders for a memorial. ¹³ And you will make ouches of gold ¹⁴ And two chains of pure gold at the ends; of wreathen work will you make them, and fasten the wreathen chains to the ouches. ¹⁵ And you will make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod you will make it; of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet , and of fine twined linen, will you make it. ¹⁶ Foursquare it will be being doubled; a span will be the length of it, and a span will be the breadth of it. ¹⁷ And you will set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row will be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this will be the first row. ¹⁸ And the second row will be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond. ¹⁹ And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an ameyourst. ²⁰ And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they will be set in gold in their inclosings. ²¹ And the stones will be with the names of the children of Israel, twelve , according to their names, like the engravings of a signet; every one with his name will they be according to the twelve tribes. ²² And you will make on the breastplate chains at the ends of wreathen work of pure gold. ²³ And you will make on the breastplate two rings of gold, and will put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. ²⁴ And you will put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the breastplate. ²⁵ And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains you will fasten in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod before it. ²⁶ And you will make two rings of gold, and you will put them on the two ends of the breastplate in the border of it, which is in the side of the ephod inward. ²⁷ And two other rings of gold you will make, and will put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling of it, above the curious girdle of the ephod. ²⁸ And they will bind the breastplate by the rings of it to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not released from the ephod. ²⁹ And Aaron will bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment on his heart, when he goes in to the holy place, for a memorial before the LORD continually. ³⁰ And you will put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they will be on Aaron's heart, when he goes in before the LORD: and Aaron will bear the judgment of the children of Israel on his heart before the LORD continually. ³¹ And you will make the robe of the ephod all of blue. ³² And there will be a hole in the top of it, in the midst of it: it will have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of a habergeon, that it be not rent. ³³ And beneath on the hem of it you will make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet , round about the hem of it; and bells of gold between them round about ³⁴ A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, on the hem of the robe round about. ³⁵ And it will be on Aaron to minister: and his sound will be heard when he goes in to the holy place before the LORD, and when he comes out, that he die not. ³⁶ And you will make a plate of pure gold, and grave on it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD. ³⁷ And you will put it on a blue lace, that it may be on the mitre; on the forefront of the mitre it will be. ³⁸ And it will be on Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel will holy in all their holy gifts; and it will be always on his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD. ³⁹ And you will embroider the coat of fine linen, and you will make the mitre of fine linen, and you will make the girdle of needlework . ⁴⁰ And for Aaron's sons you will make coats, and you will make for them girdles, and bonnets will you make for them, for glory and for beauty. ⁴¹ And you will put them on Aaron your brother, and his sons with him; and will anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office. ⁴² And you will make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness from the loins even to the thighs they will reach ⁴³ And they will be on Aaron, and on his sons, when they come in to the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near to the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it will be a statute forever to him and his seed after him.
