28 And you, bring Aaron your brother, and his sons with him near to you from among the sons of Israel to be priests for me—Aaron and Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron! 2 And you shall make for Aaron your brother clothes of holiness for glory and for splendor. 3 And you, you shall speak to all of the wise of heart, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, and they shall make the clothes of Aaron to set him apart to be a priest for me. 4 And these are the clothes that they shall make: a breastpiece and an ephod and a robe and a tunic of woven work, a turban and a sash. And they shall make clothes of holiness for your brother Aaron and for his sons to be priests for me. 5 And they shall take gold and blue and purple and worm of scarlet and fine linen.

6 And they shall make the ephod from gold, blue, and purple, worm of scarlet, and twisted fine linen—the work of a skillful craftsman. 7 It shall have two shoulder pieces joining to its two ends; so it shall be joined. 8 And the skillfully-crafted sash of the ephod which is on it shall be of like workmanship, from it: of gold, blue and purple and worm of scarlet and fine twined linen.

9 And you shall take two stones of onyx and you shall engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel, 10 six of their names on one stone and the six remaining names on the second stone, according to their genealogies. 11 You shall engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel—the work of a craftsman of stone, the engravings of a signet. You shall make them surrounded with ornamental settings of gold. 12 And you shall put the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as stones of reminder for the sons of Israel. And Aaron shall carry their names before the face of Yahweh on his two shoulders for a reminder. 13 And you shall make ornamental settings of gold 14 and two twisted chains of pure gold: you shall make them as a work of rope, and you shall attach the chains of the rope to the ornamental settings.

15 And you shall make a breastpiece of judgment—the work of a skillful craftsman—you shall make it like the work of the ephod; you shall make it from gold, blue, and purple, and worm of scarlet, and twisted fine linen. 16 It shall be square, folded double; its length: a span; and its width: a span. 17 And you shall set in it settings of precious stone—four stone rows. The first row shall be a row with a ruby, a topaz, and a garnet. 18 And the second row: an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond. 19 And the third row: a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst. 20 And the fourth row: a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper. They shall be set in gold—in their ornamental settings. 21 And the precious stones shall be according to the names of the sons of Israel—according to their 12 names. Each shall be like the engraving of a signet according to its name—for the 12 tribes.

22 And you shall make twisted chains on the breastpiece, as a work of rope—pure gold. 23 And you shall make two rings of gold for the breastpiece, and you shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastpiece. 24 And you shall attach the two chains of gold to the rings on the two ends of the breastpiece. 25 And you shall attach two of the ends of the two chains to the two ornamental settings, and you shall attach those to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front of its face. 26 And you shall make two rings of gold, and you shall put them on the two ends of the breastpiece, on the edge which is toward the inner side of the ephod. 27 And you shall make two rings of gold, and you shall put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod on the bottom of the front of its face, close to its joining above the skillfully crafted waistband of the ephod. 28 And they shall tie the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue to be on the finely crafted waistband of the ephod, so the breastpiece shall not become detached from on the ephod.

29 And Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastpiece of judgment over his heart when he goes into the Holy Place as a reminder before the face of Yahweh continually. 30 And you shall put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastpiece of judgment, and they shall be over the heart of Aaron when he goes in before the face of Yahweh. And Aaron shall bear the judgment of the sons of Israel over his heart before the face of Yahweh continually.

31 And you shall make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue. 32 And there shall be an opening for his head in the middle of it. There shall be an edge for its opening all around, so it can not tear—the work of a weaver, it shall be like an opening of a garment. 33 And on its bottom hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, purple, and worm of scarlet all around on its hem with bells of gold between them all around: 34 a bell of gold and a pomegranate, a bell of gold and a pomegranate all around the hem of the robe. 35 And it shall be on Aaron while serving, and its sound shall be heard at his going into the Holy Place before the face of Yahweh and at his leaving. And he shall not die.

36 And you shall make a rosette of pure gold and engrave on it, like the engraving on a signet, ‘Holy to Yahweh.’ 37 And you shall attach it by a cord of blue, and it shall be on the turban. It shall be toward the front of the face of the turban. 38 And it shall be on the forehead of Aaron, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things which the sons of Israel shall cause to be holy, for all of the gifts of their holy things, and it shall be on his forehead continually for their acceptance before the face of Yahweh.

39 And you shall weave the tunic with fine linen, and you shall make a turban of fine linen. And you shall make a sash, the work of an embroiderer. 40 And for the sons of Aaron you shall make tunics, and you shall make sashes for them, and you shall make headbands for them for glory and for splendor. 41 And you shall clothe them, your brother Aaron and his sons with him. And you shall anoint them, and you shall fill their hand, and you shall set them apart to be priests to me.

42 And make for them undergarments of linen to cover the flesh of nakedness—they shall be from the waist to the thighs. 43 And they shall be on Aaron and on his sons at their entering into the tent of meeting or at their drawing near to the altar to serve in the Holy Place. And they shall not bear iniquity and die.

This is a statute forever for him and for his offspring after him.
