Exodus 28:36-43

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.

40“For Aaron’s sons, make tunics, sashes, and special head coverings that are glorious and beautiful.

41Clothe your brother, Aaron, and his sons with these garments, and then anoint and ordain them. Consecrate them so they can serve as my priests.

42Also make linen undergarments for them, to be worn next to their bodies, reaching from their hips to their thighs.

43These must be worn whenever Aaron and his sons enter the Tabernacle or approach the altar in the Holy Place to perform their priestly duties. Then they will not incur guilt and die. This is a permanent law for Aaron and all his descendants after him.
