Exodus 28:36-43

36“Make a flower-shaped medallion out of pure gold, and engrave on it (as on a signet ring): Holy to the Lord.

37Fasten a violet cord to it, and tie it so that it’s on the front of the turban.

38It will be on Aaron’s forehead. He’s the one to be blamed for anything done wrong when the Israelites bring their holy offerings—whatever their gifts may be. The medallion must always be on Aaron’s forehead so that the Lord will accept their offerings.

39“Make the specially woven inner robe of fine linen. Make the turban of fine linen, but the belt should be embroidered with colored yarn.

40“Also make linen robes, belts, and turbans for Aaron’s sons. These clothes will give them dignity and honor.

41Put these clothes on your brother Aaron and his sons, anoint them, ordain them, and set them apart to serve me as priests.

42“Make linen undergarments to cover them down to their thighs.

43Aaron and his sons must wear them when they go into the tent of meeting or when they come near the altar to serve as priests in the holy place. Then they will be blameless and won’t die. “This is a permanent law for him and his descendants.”
