Exodus 28:31-39

31“Make the robe that is worn with the ephod from a single piece of blue cloth,

32with an opening for Aaron’s head in the middle of it. Reinforce the opening with a woven collar so it will not tear.

33Make pomegranates out of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and attach them to the hem of the robe, with gold bells between them.

34The gold bells and pomegranates are to alternate all around the hem.

35Aaron will wear this robe whenever he ministers before the Lord, and the bells will tinkle as he goes in and out of the Lord’s presence in the Holy Place. If he wears it, he will not die.

36“Next make a medallion of pure gold, and engrave it like a seal with these words: Holy to the Lord.

37Attach the medallion with a blue cord to the front of Aaron’s turban, where it must remain.

38Aaron must wear it on his forehead so he may take on himself any guilt of the people of Israel when they consecrate their sacred offerings. He must always wear it on his forehead so the Lord will accept the people.

39“Weave Aaron’s patterned tunic from fine linen cloth. Fashion the turban from this linen as well. Also make a sash, and decorate it with colorful embroidery.
