* And you shall take to yourself Aaron your brother , and his sons with him , from among the sons of Israel , so that he may minister to Me in the priest 's office : Aaron and Aaron 's sons , Nadab and Abihu , Eleazar and Ithamar . * And you shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother , for glory and for beauty . * And you shall speak to all the wise-hearted , whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom , that they make Aaron 's garments to consecrate him , so that he may minister to Me in the priest 's office . * And these [are ] the garments which they shall make : a breast-pocket , and an ephod , and a robe , and an embroidered coat , a miter , and a girdle . And they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother , and his sons , so that he may minister to Me in the priest 's office . * And they shall take gold , and blue , and purple , and scarlet , and bleached [linen ]. * And they shall make the ephod [of ] gold , blue , and purple , scarlet , and fine twined bleached [linen ], skilled work . * It shall have the two shoulder-pieces of it joined at the two edges of it . And so it shall be joined together . * And the embroidered girdle of the ephod , which is upon it , shall be of the same , according to the work of it : [of ] gold , blue , and purple , and scarlet , and fine twined bleached [linen ]. * And you shall take two onyx stones , and you shall engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel . * Six of their names [shall be ] on one stone , and six of the remaining names on the other stone , according to their birth . * With the work of an engraver in stone , [like ] the engravings of a signet , you shall engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel . You shall make them to be set [in ] settings of gold . * And you shall put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod [for ] stones of memorial to the sons of Israel . And Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial . * And you shall make plaited work [of ] gold , * and two chains [of ] pure gold at the ends . You shall make them [of ] woven work , a work of cord , and fasten the woven chains to the plaited work . * And you shall make the breast-pocket of judgment with embroidered work . After the work of the ephod you shall make it ; [of ] gold , blue , and purple , and scarlet , and fine twined bleached [linen ], you shall make it . * It shall be square , doubled ; a span the length of it , and a span the breadth of it . * And you shall set in it settings of stones , four rows of stones . The first row shall be a sardius , topaz , and carbuncle in the row . * And the second row : an emerald , a sapphire . and a diamond . * And the third row : an opal , an agate , and an amethyst . * And the fourth row : a chrysolite , and an onyx , and a jasper . They shall be set in gold in their fillings . * And the stones shall be with the names of the sons of Israel , twelve , according to their names , [like ] the engravings of a signet . They shall be each one with his name according to the twelve tribes . * And you shall make chains upon the breast-pocket , work of cords , in pure gold . * And you shall make upon the breast-pocket two rings of gold , and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breast-pocket . * And you shall put the two woven [chains ] of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breast-pocket . * And the two ends of the two cords you shall fasten on the two plaitings , and put [them ] on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod before it . * And you shall make two rings of gold , and you shall put them upon the two ends of the breast-pocket in the border of it , which is in the side of the ephod inward . * And you shall make two rings of gold , and shall put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath , toward the front of it , near its joining , above the band of the ephod . * And they shall bind the breast-pocket by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue , that [it ] may be above the band of the ephod , and so that the breast-pocket may not be loosed from the ephod . * And Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breast-pocket of judgment upon his heart , when he goes in to the holy [place ], for a memorial before the LORD continually . * And you shall put in the breast-pocket of judgment the Urim and the Thummim . And they shall be upon Aaron 's heart , when he goes in before the LORD . And Aaron shall bear the judgment of the sons of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually . * And you shall make the robe of the ephod all [of ] blue . * And there shall be a hole in the top of it , in its middle ; a binding shall be all around its mouth , of woven work . It shall be like the mouth of a corselet ; it may not be torn . * And on its hem you shall make pomegranates [of ] blue , and purple , and scarlet , all around its hem . And bells of gold [shall be ] amidst them all around . * There shall be a golden bell and a pomegranate , a golden bell and a pomegranate , upon the hem of the robe all around . * And it shall be on Aaron to serve . And his sound shall be heard when he goes in to the holy [place ] before the LORD , and when he comes out , so that he will not die . * And you shall make a plate [of ] pure gold , and carve on it , [like ] the engravings of a signet , HOLINESS TO JEHOVAH . * And you shall put it on a blue lace , so that it may be on the miter ; on the front of the miter it shall be . * And it shall be on Aaron 's forehead , so that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things which will sanctify the sons of Israel in all their holy gifts . And it shall always be on his forehead , so that they may be accepted before the LORD . * And you shall weave the tunic [of ] bleached [linen ], and you shall make the miter of bleached [linen ], and you shall make the girdle of needlework . * And you shall make tunics for Aaron 's sons , and you shall make for them girdles , and turbans you shall make for them , for glory and for beauty . * And you shall clothe Aaron your brother [with ] them , and his sons with him . And you shall anoint them , and you shall consecrate them , and you shall sanctify them , so that they may minister to Me in the priest 's office . * And you shall make them linen breeches to cover the naked flesh ; from the loins even to the thighs they shall reach . * And they shall be upon Aaron , and upon his sons , when they come in to the tabernacle of the congregation , or when they come near the altar to minister in the holy [place ]; so that they do not bear iniquity , and die . [It shall be a statute forever to him and his seed after him .
