Exodus 28:31-43

Legacy Standard Bible

³¹ “^(A)You shall make the robe of the ephod entirely of ^[a]blue. ³² There shall be an opening ^[b]at its top in the middle of it; around the edge of its opening there shall be a binding of woven work, like the opening of a coat of mail, so that it will not be torn. ³³ You shall make on its hem pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet material, all around on its hem, and bells of gold between them all around: ³⁴ a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, all around on the hem of the robe. ³⁵ It shall be on Aaron ^[c]when he ministers; and its sound shall be heard when he comes into the holy place before Yahweh and when he goes out, so that he will not die.

³⁶ “You shall also make ^(B)a plate of pure gold and shall engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet, ‘^(C)Holy to Yahweh.’ ³⁷ You shall ^[d]fasten it on a ^[e]blue cord, and it shall be on the turban; it shall be at the front of the turban. ³⁸ It shall be on Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron shall ^[f](D)take away the iniquity of the holy things which the sons of Israel set apart as holy, with regard to all their holy gifts; and it shall continually be on his forehead, that ^(E)they may be accepted before Yahweh.

³⁹ “You shall weave ^(F)the tunic of checkered work of fine linen, and you shall make a turban of fine linen, and you shall make a sash, the work of a ^[g]weaver.

⁴⁰ “For Aaron’s sons you shall make ^(G)tunics; you shall also make sashes for them, and you shall make ^[h](H)caps for them, for glory and for beauty. ⁴¹ You shall put them on Aaron your brother and on his sons with him; and you shall ^(I)anoint them and ^[i]ordain them and set them apart as holy, that they may minister to Me as priests. ⁴² You shall make for them ^(J)linen undergarments to cover their bare flesh; they shall ^[j]reach from the loins even to the thighs. ⁴³ They shall be on Aaron and on his sons when they come into the tent of meeting or ^(K)when they approach the altar to minister in the holy place, so that they do not incur ^[k]guilt and die. ^(L)It shall be a perpetual statute to him and to his seed after him.
