chains like cords, of braided work of pure
gold.

23 You shall make on the breastplate two
rings of gold, and shall putthe two rings on
the two ends of the breastplate.

24 You shall put the two braided chains
of gold in the two rings at the ends of the
breastplate.

25 The other two ends of the two braided
chains you shall put on the two settings,
and put them on the shoulder straps of the
ephod in its forepart.

26 You shall make two rings of gold, and
you shall put them on the two ends of the
breastplate, on its edge, which is toward
the side of the ephod inward.

27 You shall make two rings of gold, and
shall put them on the two shoulder straps
of the ephod underneath, in its forepart,
close by its coupling, above the skillfully
woven band of the ephod.

28 They shall bind the breastplate by its
rings to the rings ofthe ephod witha lace of
blue, that it may be on the skillfully woven
band ofthe ephod, and thatthe breastplate
may not swing out from the ephod.

they shall be on Aaron’s heart, when he
goes in before Yahweh. Aaron shall bear
the judgment of the children of Israel on
his heart before Yahweh continually.

31 “You shall make the robe of the ephod
all of blue.

32 It shall have a hole for the head in
the middle of it. It shall have a binding of
woven work around its hole, as it were the
hole of a coat of mail, that it not be torn.

33 On its hem you shall make
pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and
of scarlet, all around its hem; with bells of
gold between and around them:

34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a

35 It shall be on Aaron to minister: and
its sound shall be heard when he goes in
to the holy place before Yahweh, and when
he comes out, that he not die.

36 “You shall make a plate of pure gold,
and engrave on it, like the engravings of a
signet, ‘HOLY TO YAHWEH.’

37 You shall put it on a lace of blue, and it
shall be on the sash. It shall be on the front
of the sash.

38 It shall be on Aaron’s forehead, and
Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy
things, which the children of Israel shall
make holy in alltheir holy gifts; and it shall
be always on his forehead, that they may
be accepted before Yahweh.

linen. You shall make a turban of fine
linen. You shall make a sash, the work of
the embroiderer.

40 “You shall make tunics for Aaron’s
sons. You shall make sashes for them. You
shall make headbands for them, for glory
and for beauty.

41 You shall put them on Aaron your
brother, and on his sons with him, and
shall anoint them, and consecrate them,
and sanctify them, that they may minister
to me in the priest’s office.

42 You shall make them linen pants to
cover their naked flesh. They shall reach
from the waist even to the thighs.

43 They shall be on Aaron and on his
sons, when they go in to the Tent of Meeting, or when they come near to the altar to
minister in the holy place, that they don’t
bear iniquity, and die. This shall be a
statute forever to him and to his offspring
after him.
