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 they shall take gold
, and blue
, and purple
, and scarlet
, and fine linen
.
And they shall make the ephod
of gold
, of blue
, and of purple
, of scarlet
, and fine twined
linen
, with cunning
work
.
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
, of blue
, and purple
, and scarlet
, and fine twined
linen
.
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; of gold
, of blue
, and of purple
, and of scarlet
, and of fine twined
linen
, 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 shalt put
the two
rings
on the two
ends
of the breastplate
.
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.
