31 Make the robe to be worn under the sacred apron entirely from blue material 32 with an opening for his head in the middle of it. A border will be needed around the opening so it can’t tear—this should be woven like openings in regular clothes. 33 Then on the bottom hem, make decorations that look like pomegranates—they must be made from blue, purple, and scarlet yarn. Gold bells should hang in between the pomegranates 34 so as you go around the hem of the robe there’ll be a gold bell, then a pomegranate, then a gold bell, then a pomegranate, etc. 35 Aharon must wear this robe when he’s serving, so when he goes into my presence in the sacred inner room, I’ll hear the bells when he enters and when he leaves, so he won’t die.

36 Make a plate from pure gold and engrave ‘Dedicated to Yahweh’ on it like you would on a signet ring. 37 Attach it to the front of the turban using a blue cord 38 so it’ll be on Aharon’s forehead. In this way, it’ll bear the deficiencies of human sinfulness when Israelis attempt to make sacred objects and attempt to make sacred offerings. Thus it’ll be on his forehead continually so that I will see it and accept those things.

39 The tunic must be woven from finely-spun linen, and similarly for the turban. An embroiderer must make the waistband.

40 You must also make tunics, waistbands and headbands for Aharon’s sons so they’ll look splendid and beautiful. 41 Put these clothes on your brother Aharon and his sons, then anoint them with oil and ordain and consecrate them as priests to me. 42 Make underwear out of linen to cover their bare flesh from the waist to the thighs— 43 they must wear it whenever they enter the sacred tent and whenever they approach the altar to offer sacrifices so they won’t be disobeying and die. Aharon and his descendants must obey that rule forever.

22 Bezalel had a weaver make the robe that would be worn under the sacred apron entirely from blue material. 23 It opened down the middle like other clothes and had a border around this opening so that it wouldn’t tear, 24 and the bottom hem had decorative pomegranates on it that were made from blue, purple, and scarlet yarn. 25 They also made small bells from pure gold and attached them between the pomegranates around the bottom of the robe, 26 so it alternated between a bell and a pomegranate going around the hem, just as Yahweh had instructed Mosheh.

27 A weaver made tunics for Aaron and his sons from fine linen, 28 along with the turban and caps from fine linen, the underwear made from twisted finely-spun linen, 29 and the waistband from fine linen with blue, purple, and scarlet embroidery, just as Yahweh had instructed Mosheh.

30 They made a decorative plate (to represent a holy crown) from pure gold and they engraved ‘Dedicated to Yahweh’ on it (like you’d do for a signet ring). 31 They put a blue cord on it to attach it to the front of the turban, just as Yahweh had instructed Mosheh.
