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