Exodus_Chapter 28
You shall bring your brother Aaron and his sons Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar from among the Israelites to come near you and serve me as priests.
Make holy garments for your brother Aaron for glory and for beauty.
And command all those who have wisdom in their hearts, which I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, to make clothes for Aaron, so that he may be consecrated and serve me as a priest.
All that is to be done is the breastplate, the ephod, the outer robe, the mixed inner robe, the crown, and the belt, so that your brother Aaron and his sons may wear these holy garments to serve me as priests.
Use gold thread, blue, purple, vermilion thread, and fine linen to make it.
They will take gold thread, blue, purple, and vermilion thread, and finely twisted linen, and work the ephod with the hands of skilled craftsmen.
Ephedra should have two shoulder straps, connect the two ends together, and make them connected.
The skillfully woven strap on it shall be made in the same way as the ephod, and shall be tied together with the ephod. It shall be made of gold thread, blue, purple, and vermilion thread, and finely twisted linen.
Take two pieces of red agate and engrave the name of the son of Israel on them,
Six names on this gemstone, and six names on that gemstone, all in the order they were born.
You need to carve these two precious stones by hand, like carving a book, according to the name of the son of Israel, and set them in a golden groove.
Place these two precious stones on the shoulders of the ephod as commemorative stones for the Israelites. Aaron shall bear their names on his shoulders as a memorial before the Lord.
To make two grooves with gold,
Then he took pure gold and twisted it like a twisted rope, making two chains and tying the twisted chains onto the two grooves.
You need to work a decisive badge with the hands of a skilled craftsman. Make it in the same way as the ephod, using gold thread, blue, purple, and vermilion thread, and finely twisted linen.
This chest badge needs to be square, stacked in two layers, one tiger long and one tiger wide.
To set four rows of gemstones on it, the first row is ruby, red tourmaline, and ruby,
The second line is emerald, sapphire, and diamond,
The third line is purple agate, white agate, amethyst,
The fourth line is water green jade, red agate, and jasper. This needs to be embedded in a golden groove.
These gemstones shall be engraved according to the names of the twelve sons of Israel, as if they were carved into a book or the names of the twelve tribes.
Twist a rope like chain with pure gold on the breastplate.
Make two gold rings on the breastplate and place them on both ends of the breastplate.
To thread those two twisted gold chains through the rings at both ends of the chest badge.
Also, connect the two ends of the chain to the two slots and place them on the shoulder straps in front of the ephod.
Make two golden rings and place them on both ends of the breastplate, on the inner edge of the ephod.
Make two gold rings and place them under the two shoulder straps in front of the ephod, close to the junction, above the skillfully woven straps of the ephod.
Tie the rings of the breastplate to the rings of the ephod with a thin blue strap, so that the breastplate is attached to the skillfully woven strap of the ephod and cannot be separated from the ephod.
When Aaron enters the sanctuary, he shall put on his chest the breastplate of judgment, which bears the name of the son of Israel, as a memorial before the Lord.
And he shall put Urim and Tuming in the breastplate of judgment, and when Aaron comes before the Lord, he shall carry it on his chest, and he shall always carry the breastplate of the children of Israel before the Lord.
You are to make the robe of the ephod, all blue in color.
Leave a collar on the robe for the head, and weave a collar around the collar, like the collar of an armor, to prevent it from breaking.
Make pomegranates with blue, purple, and vermilion thread around the hem of the robe. There should be a golden bell between the pomegranates around the robe,
One golden bell, one pomegranate, one golden bell, one pomegranate, on the hem around the robe.
Aaron needs to wear this robe when he serves. When he enters the sanctuary before the Lord and comes out, the sound of his robe will be heard, so that he will not die.
You shall make a plaque of pure gold, and engrave it on it according to the method of engraving books, saying, “Holy to the Lord.”.
Use a thin blue ribbon to tie the card in front of the crown.
This plaque shall be on Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel have consecrated in all their holy gifts. This plaque shall remain on his forehead, so that they may be accepted before the Lord.
Wove the inner robe with fine linen of various colors, make a crown of fine linen, and work the waistband with embroidered hands.
Make an inner robe, a waistband, and a headscarf for Aaron’s son, for glory and beauty.
Wear these for your brother Aaron and his sons, and anoint them, sanctify them, so that they may serve me as priests.
Make fine linen pants for them to cover their lower body, with the pants reaching from the waist to the thighs.
Aaron and his sons must wear them when they enter the tabernacle of the congregation or come near the altar to serve in the holy place, so as not to bear the burden of sin and die. This will be an eternal ordinance for Aaron and his descendants.
