Exodus 28:31-39

31“And you shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue.

32There shall be an opening at its top in the center [for the head], with a binding of woven work around the opening, like the opening in a coat of armor, so that it will not tear or fray.

33You shall make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet fabric all around its hem, with gold bells between them;

34a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, all around the [bottom] hem of the robe.

35Aaron shall wear the robe when he ministers, and its sound shall be heard when he goes [alone] into the Holy Place before the Lord, and when he comes out, so that he will not die there.

36“You shall also make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet, ‘Holy to the Lord.’

37You shall fasten it on the front of the turban with a blue cord.

38It shall be on Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron shall take away the guilt from the holy things which the sons of Israel dedicate, with regard to all their holy gifts. It shall always be on his forehead, so that they may be accepted before the Lord.

39“You shall weave the tunic of checkered work of fine linen, and make a turban of fine linen. You shall make a sash, the work of an embroiderer.
