Exodus 28:29-43 ▼

29 And Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel on the breastplate of judgment over his heart when he goes into the Holy Place, for a memorial before the face of YHWH continually.

30 And you shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim, and they shall be over the heart of Aaron when he goes in before the face of YHWH. And Aaron shall bear the judgment of the sons of Israel over his heart before the face of YHWH continually.

31 And you shall make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue.

32 And there shall be an opening for his head in the middle of it; it shall have an edge for its opening all around, the work of a weaver, like the opening of a corselet, it shall be that it does not tear.

33 And you shall make upon its hem pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet on its hem all around, and bells of gold in the midst of them all around,

34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe all around.

35 And it shall be upon Aaron to minister, and its sound will be heard when he goes into the Holy Place before the face of YHWH and when he comes out, and he shall not die.

36 And you shall make a plate of pure gold, and you shall engrave on it the engravings of a signet: HOLY TO YHWH.

37 And you shall put it on a blue cord, and it shall be on the turban; it shall be toward the front of the face of the turban.

38 And it shall be on the forehead of Aaron, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things that the sons of Israel shall sanctify for all their holy gifts; and it shall be on his forehead continually, for a pleasing thing for them before the face of YHWH.

39 And you shall weave the tunic of fine linen, and you shall make the turban of fine linen, and the sash you shall make, the work of a weaver.

40 And for the sons of Aaron you shall make tunics, and you shall make for them sashes, and you shall make headbands for them for glory and for beauty.

41 And you shall put them on Aaron your brother and on his sons with him, and you shall anoint them and you shall fill their hand and you shall sanctify them, and they shall minister as priests to Me.

42 And you shall make for them linen undergarments to cover naked flesh; they shall be from the waist and to the thighs.

43 And they shall be on Aaron and on his sons when they come into the Tent of Meeting, or when they come near to the altar to minister in the Holy Place, and they shall not bear iniquity and die. It shall be a statute forever for him and for his seed after him.
