28:22 “You are to make for the breastpiece braided chains like cords of pure gold, 28:23 and you are to make for the breastpiece two gold rings and attach 1 the two rings to the upper 2 two ends of the breastpiece. 28:24 You are to attach the two gold chains to the two rings at the ends of the breastpiece; 28:25 the other 3 two ends of the two chains you will attach to the two settings and then attach them 4 to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front of it. 28:26 You are to make two rings of gold and put them on the other 5 two ends of the breastpiece, on its edge that is on the inner side of the ephod. 28:27 You are to make two more 6 gold rings and attach them to the bottom of the two shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod, close to the juncture above the waistband of the ephod. 28:28 They are to tie the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod by blue cord, so that it may be above the waistband of the ephod, and so that the breastpiece will not be loose from the ephod. 28:29 Aaron will bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastpiece of decision over his heart 7 when he goes into the holy place, for a memorial before the Lord continually.
28:30 “You are to put the Urim and the Thummim 8 into the breastpiece of decision; and they are to be over Aaron’s heart when he goes in before the Lord. Aaron is to bear the decisions 9 of the Israelites over his heart before the Lord continually.
28:31 “You are to make the robe 10 of the ephod completely blue. 28:32 There is to be an opening 11 in its top 12 in the center of it, with an edge all around the opening, the work of a weaver, 13 like the opening of a collar, 14 so that it cannot be torn. 15 28:33 You are to make pomegranates 16 of blue, purple, and scarlet all around its hem 17 and bells of gold between them all around. 28:34 The pattern is to be 18 a gold bell and a pomegranate, a gold bell and a pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe. 28:35 The robe 19 is to be on Aaron as he ministers, 20 and his sound will be heard 21 when he enters the Holy Place before the Lord and when he leaves, so that he does not die.
28:36 “You are to make a plate 22 of pure gold and engrave on it the way a seal is engraved: 23 “Holiness to the Lord.” 24 28:37 You are to attach to it a blue cord so that it will be 25 on the turban; it is to be 26 on the front of the turban, 28:38 It will be on Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron will bear the iniquity of the holy things, 27 which the Israelites are to sanctify by all their holy gifts; 28 it will always be on his forehead, for their acceptance 29 before the Lord. 28:39 You are to weave 30 the tunic of fine linen and make the turban of fine linen, and make the sash the work of an embroiderer.
28:40 “For Aaron’s sons you are to make tunics, sashes, and headbands 31 for glory and for beauty.
28:41 “You are to clothe them – your brother Aaron and his sons with him – and anoint them 32 and ordain them 33 and set them apart as holy, 34 so that they may minister as my priests. 28:42 Make for them linen undergarments to cover their naked bodies; 35 they must cover 36 from the waist to the thighs. 28:43 These must be on Aaron and his sons when they enter 37 to the tent of meeting, or when they approach 38 the altar to minister in the Holy Place, so that they bear no iniquity and die. 39 It is to be a perpetual ordinance for him and for his descendants 40 after him. 41
