Exodus 28:31-39

31“You are to make the robe of the ephod completely blue.

32There is to be an opening in its top in the center of it, with an edge all around the opening, the work of a weaver, like the opening of a collar, so that it cannot be torn.

33You are to make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet all around its hem and bells of gold between them all around.

34The pattern is to be a gold bell and a pomegranate, a gold bell and a pomegranate, all around the hem of the robe.

35The robe is to be on Aaron as he ministers, and his sound will be heard when he enters the Holy Place before the Lord and when he leaves, so that he does not die.

36“You are to make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it the way a seal is engraved: “Holiness to the Lord.”

37You are to attach to it a blue cord so that it will be on the turban; it is to be on the front of the turban,

38It will be on Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron will bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the Israelites are to sanctify by all their holy gifts; it will always be on his forehead, for their acceptance before the Lord.

39You are to weave the tunic of fine linen and make the turban of fine linen, and make the sash the work of an embroiderer.
