And the plate shall be always on his forehead, that the Lord may be well pleased with them.	It shall be on Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron shall bear any guilt from the holy things that the people of Israel consecrate as their holy gifts. It shall regularly be on his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD.	It will be on Aaron’s forehead, and he will bear the guilt involved in the sacred gifts the Israelites consecrate, whatever their gifts may be. It will be on Aaron’s forehead continually so that they will be acceptable to the LORD.
39	And thou shalt gird the tunick with fine linen, and thou shalt make a fine linen mitre, and a girdle of embroidered work.	“You shall weave the coat in checker work of fine linen, and you shall make a turban of fine linen, and you shall make a sash embroidered with needlework.	“Weave the tunic of fine linen and make the turban of fine linen. The sash is to be the work of an embroiderer.
40	Moreover for the sons of Aaron thou shalt prepare linen tunicks, and girdles and mitres for glory and beauty:	“For Aaron’s sons you shall make coats and sashes and caps. You shall make them for glory and beauty.	Make tunics, sashes and caps for Aaron’s sons to give them dignity and honor.
41	And with all these things thou shalt vest Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him. And thou shalt consecrate the hands of them all, and shalt sanctify them, that they may do the office of priesthood unto me.	And you shall put them on Aaron your brother, and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them and ordain them and consecrate them, that they may serve me as priests.	After you put these clothes on your brother Aaron and his sons, anoint and ordain them. Consecrate them so they may serve me as priests.
42	Thou shalt make also linen breeches, to cover the flesh of their nakedness from the reins to the thighs:	You shall make for them linen undergarments to cover their naked flesh. They shall reach from the hips to the thighs;	“Make linen undergarments as a covering for the body, reaching from the waist to the thigh.
43	And Aaron and his sons shall use them when they shall go in to the tabernacle of the testimony, or when they approach the altar to minister in the sanctuary, lest being guilty of iniquity they die. It shall be a law for ever to Aaron, and to his seed after him.	and they shall be on Aaron and on his sons when they go into the tent of meeting or when they come near the altar to minister in the Holy Place, lest they bear guilt and die. This shall be a statute forever for him and for his offspring after him.	Aaron and his sons must wear them whenever they enter the tent of meeting or approach the altar to minister in the Holy Place, so that they will not incur guilt and die. “This is to be a lasting ordinance for Aaron and his descendants.
