Additional Priestly Garments

(Exodus 28:31–43)

They made the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth, the work of a weaver, 23 with an opening in the center of the robe like that of a garment,[fn] with a collar around the opening so that it would not tear.

24 

They made pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and finely spun linen on the lower hem of the robe. 25 They also made bells of pure gold and attached [them] around the hem between the pomegranates, 26 alternating the bells and pomegranates {around} the lower hem of the robe to be worn for ministry, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

27 

For Aaron and his sons they made tunics of fine linen, the work of a weaver, 28 as well as the turban of fine linen, the ornate headbands and undergarments [of] finely spun linen, 29 and the sash of finely spun linen, embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

30 

They also made the plate of the holy crown [of] pure gold, and they engraved on it, like an inscription on a seal:

HOLY TO THE LORD.[fn]

31 

Then they fastened to it a blue cord to mount it on the turban, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
