Exodus 28

1And bringH7126 thou near unto thee AaronH175 thy brotherH251, and his sonsH1121 with him, from among the children of IsraelH3478, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office, even AaronH175, NadabH5070 and AbihuH30, EleazarH499 and IthamarH385, Aaron’s sonsH1121. 2And thou shalt makeH6213 holyH6944 garmentsH899 for AaronH175 thy brotherH251, for gloryH8597 and for beautyH8597. 3And thou shalt speakH1696 unto all that are wise-hearted, whom I have filledH4390 with the spiritH7307 of wisdomH2451, that they makeH6213 Aaron’s garmentsH899 to sanctifyH6942 him, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office. 4And these are the garmentsH899 which they shall makeH6213: a breastplate, and an ephodH646, and a robeH4598, and a coat of checker work, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall makeH6213 holyH6944 garmentsH899 for AaronH175 thy brotherH251, and his sonsH1121, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office. 5And they shall takeH3947 the goldH2091, and the blueH8504, and the purpleH713, and the scarletH8144, and the fineH8336 linenH8336.

6And they shall makeH6213 the ephodH646 of goldH2091, of blueH8504, and purpleH713, scarletH8144, and fineH8336 twined linenH8336, the workH4639 of the skilful workman. 7It shall have twoH8147 shoulder-pieces joinedH2266 to the twoH8147 endsH7098 thereof, that it may beH1961 joinedH2266 togetherH2266. 8And the skilfully woven band, which is upon it, wherewith to gird it on, shall beH1961 like the workH4639 thereof and of the same piece; of goldH2091, of blueH8504, and purpleH713, and scarletH8144, and fineH8336 twined linenH8336. 9And thou shalt takeH3947 twoH8147 onyxH7718 stonesH68, and grave on them the namesH8034 of the children of IsraelH3478: 10sixH8337 of their namesH8034 on the oneH259 stoneH68, and the namesH8034 of the sixH8337 that remainH3498 on the other stoneH68, according to their birth. 11With the workH4639 of an engraverH2796 in stoneH68, like the engravingsH6603 of a signet, shalt thou engrave the twoH8147 stonesH68, according to the namesH8034 of the children of IsraelH3478: thou shalt makeH6213 them to be inclosed in settings of goldH2091. 12And thou shalt putH7760 the twoH8147 stonesH68 upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephodH646, to be stonesH68 of memorialH2146 for the children of IsraelH3478: and AaronH175 shall bearH5375 their namesH8034 before Jehovah upon his twoH8147 shouldersH3802 for a memorialH2146. 13And thou shalt makeH6213 settings of goldH2091, 14and twoH8147 chainsH8333 of pureH2889 goldH2091; like cordsH5688 shalt thou makeH5414 them, of wreathen workH4639: and thou shalt putH5414 the wreathen chainsH8333 on the settings.

15And thou shalt makeH6213 a breastplate of judgmentH4941, the workH4639 of the skilful workman; like the workH4639 of the ephodH646 thou shalt makeH6213 it; of goldH2091, of blueH8504, and purpleH713, and scarletH8144, and fineH8336 twined linenH8336, shalt thou makeH6213 it. 16Foursquare it shall beH1961 and doubleH3717; a spanH2239 shall beH1961 the lengthH753 thereof, and a spanH2239 the breadthH7341 thereof. 17And thou shalt set in it settings of stonesH68, fourH702 rowsH2905 of stonesH68: a rowH2905 of sardius, topazH6357, and carbuncle shall be the first rowH2905; 18and the secondH8145 rowH2905 an emerald, a sapphireH5601, and a diamond; 19and the thirdH7992 rowH2905 a jacinthH3958, an agateH7618, and an amethystH306; 20and the fourthH7243 rowH2905 a beryl, and an onyxH7718, and a jasperH3471: they shall beH1961 inclosed in goldH2091 in their settings. 21And the stonesH68 shall beH1961 according to the namesH8034 of the children of IsraelH3478, twelve, according to their namesH8034; like the engravingsH6603 of a signet, every oneH376 according to his nameH8034, they shall beH1961 for the twelve tribesH7626. 22And thou shalt makeH6213 upon the breastplate chains like cordsH5688, of wreathen workH4639 of pureH2889 goldH2091. 23And thou shalt makeH5414 upon the breastplate twoH8147 ringsH2885 of goldH2091, and shalt putH5414 the twoH8147 ringsH2885 on the twoH8147 endsH7098 of the breastplate. 24And thou shalt putH5414 the twoH8147 wreathen chains of goldH2091 in the twoH8147 ringsH2885 at the endsH7098 of the breastplate. 25And the other twoH8147 endsH7098 of the twoH8147 wreathen chains thou shalt putH5414 on the twoH8147 settings, and putH5414 them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephodH646 in the forepart thereof. 26And thou shalt makeH7760 twoH8147 ringsH2885 of goldH2091, and thou shalt putH7760 them upon the twoH8147 endsH7098 of the breastplate, upon the edgeH8193 thereof, which is toward the sideH5676 of the ephodH646 inward. 27And thou shalt makeH5414 twoH8147 ringsH2885 of goldH2091, and shalt putH5414 them on the twoH8147 shoulder-pieces of the ephodH646 underneath, in the forepart thereof, closeH5980 by the coupling thereof, above the skilfully woven band of the ephodH646. 28And they shall bind the breastplate by the ringsH2885 thereof unto the ringsH2885 of the ephodH646 with a lace of blueH8504, that it may beH1961 upon the skilfully woven band of the ephodH646, and that the breastplate beH1961 not loosed from the ephodH646. 29And AaronH175 shall bearH5375 the namesH8034 of the children of IsraelH3478 in the breastplate of judgmentH4941 upon his heartH3820, when he goeth in unto the holyH6944 placeH6944, for a memorialH2146 before Jehovah continuallyH8548. 30And thou shalt putH5414 in the breastplate of judgmentH4941 the UrimH224 and the ThummimH8550; and they shall beH1961 upon Aaron’s heartH3820, when he goeth in before Jehovah: and AaronH175 shall bearH5375 the judgmentH4941 of the children of IsraelH3478 upon his heartH3820 before Jehovah continuallyH8548.

31And thou shalt makeH6213 the robeH4598 of the ephodH646 all of blueH8504. 32And it shall have a hole for the headH7218 in the midstH8432 thereof: it shall have a binding of woven workH4639 roundH5439 about the hole of it, as it wereH1961 the hole of a coat of mail, that it beH1961 not rent. 33And upon the skirtsH7757 of it thou shalt makeH6213 pomegranatesH7416 of blueH8504, and of purpleH713, and of scarletH8144, roundH5439 about the skirtsH7757 thereof; and bellsH6472 of goldH2091 between them roundH5439 about: 34a golden bellH6472 and a pomegranateH7416, a golden bellH6472 and a pomegranateH7416, upon the skirtsH7757 of the robeH4598 roundH5439 about. 35And it shall beH1961 upon AaronH175 to minister: and the soundH6963 thereof shall beH1961 heardH8085 when he goeth in unto the holyH6944 placeH6944 before Jehovah, and when he cometh out, that he dieH4191 not.

36And thou shalt makeH6213 a plateH6731 of pureH2889 goldH2091, and grave upon it, like the engravingsH6603 of a signet, HOLYH6944 TO JEHOVAH. 37And thou shalt putH7760 it on a lace of blueH8504, and it shall beH1961 upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall beH1961. 38And it shall beH1961 upon Aaron’s foreheadH4696, and AaronH175 shall bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of the holyH6944 thingsH6944, which the children of IsraelH3478 shall hallow in all their holyH6944 giftsH4979; and it shall beH1961 always upon his foreheadH4696, that they may beH1961 accepted before Jehovah. 39And thou shalt weave the coat in checker workH4639 of fineH8336 linenH8336, and thou shalt makeH6213 a mitre of fineH8336 linenH8336, and thou shalt makeH6213 a girdle, the workH4639 of the embroiderer.

40And for Aaron’s sonsH1121 thou shalt makeH6213 coats, and thou shalt makeH6213 for them girdles, and head-tires shalt thou makeH6213 for them, for gloryH8597 and for beautyH8597. 41And thou shalt putH3847 them upon AaronH175 thy brotherH251, and upon his sonsH1121 with him, and shalt anointH4886 them, and consecrateH6942 them, and sanctifyH6942 them, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office. 42And thou shalt makeH6213 them linenH906 breeches to coverH3680 the fleshH1320 of their nakednessH6172; from the loinsH4975 even unto the thighsH3409 they shall reach: 43and they shall beH1961 upon AaronH175, and upon his sonsH1121, when they goH935 in unto the tentH168 of meetingH4150, or when they comeH935 near unto the altarH4196 to minister in the holyH6944 placeH6944; that they bearH5375 not iniquityH5771, and dieH4191: it shall beH1961 a statuteH2708 for everH5769 unto him and unto his seedH2233 after him.
