Hollow with boards shalt thou make it :

And thou shalt command the children of Israel ,
that they bring thee pure oil olive beaten for the light ,
to cause the lamp to burn always .
*
In the tabernacle of the congregation without the vail ,
which is before the testimony ,
Aaron and his sons shall order it from evening to morning before the LORD :
it shall be a statute for ever unto their generations on the behalf of the children of Israel .
*
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 .
*
And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty .
*
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 .
*
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 .

and blue ,
and purple ,
and scarlet ,
and fine linen .
*
And they shall make the ephod of gold ,

*
It shall have the two shoulderpieces thereof joined at the two edges thereof ;
and so it shall be joined together .
*
And the curious girdle of the ephod ,
which is upon it ,
shall be of the same ,
according to the work thereof ;
even of gold ,

*
And thou shalt take two onyx stones ,
and grave on them the names of the children of Israel :
*
Six of their names on one stone ,
and the other six names of the rest on the other stone ,
according to their birth .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And thou shalt make ouches of gold ;
*
And two chains of pure gold at the ends ;
of wreathen work shalt thou make them ,
and fasten the wreathen chains to the ouches .
*
And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work ;
after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it ;

shalt thou make it .
*
Foursquare it shall be being doubled ;
a span shall be the length thereof ,
and a span shall be the breadth thereof .
*
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 .
*
And the second row shall be an emerald ,
a sapphire ,
and a diamond .
*
And the third row a ligure ,
an agate ,
and an amethyst .
*
And the fourth row a beryl ,
and an onyx ,
and a jasper :
they shall be set in gold in their inclosings .
*
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 .

And thou shalt make upon the breastplate chains at the ends of wreathen work of pure gold .
*
And thou shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold ,

*
And thou shalt put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the breastplate .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue .
*
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 .
*
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 :
*
A golden bell and a pomegranate ,
a golden bell and a pomegranate ,
upon the hem of the robe round about .
*
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 .
*
And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold ,
and grave upon it ,
like the engravings of a signet ,
HOLINESS TO THE LORD .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
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 .
*
And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness ;
from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach :
*
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 .
*
And this is the thing that thou shalt do unto them to hallow them ,
to minister unto me in the priest '
s office :
Take one young bullock ,
and two rams without blemish ,
