2And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for glory and for ornament.
3And thou shalt speak with all that are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to hallow him, that he may serve me as priest.
4And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a cloak, and a checkered vest, a turban, and a girdle; and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may serve me as priest.
5And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus,
6and shall make the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, scarlet and twined byssus, of artistic work.
7It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined at the two ends thereof, where it is joined together.
8And the girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according to its work of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet and twined byssus.

10six of their names on the one stone, and the six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.
11According to the work of an engraver in stone, as the engravings of a seal, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel; surrounded by enclosures of gold shalt thou make them.
12And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod as stones of memorial for the children of Israel; and Aaron shall bear their names before Jehovah upon his two shoulders for a memorial.

18and the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond;
19and the third row, an opal, an agate, and an amethyst;

31And thou shalt make the cloak of the ephod all of blue.
32And its opening for the head shall be in the midst thereof; there shall be a binding of woven work at its opening round about; as the opening of a coat of mail, it shall be in it--it shall not rend.
33And on the skirts thereof thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, round about the skirts thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:
34a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, in the skirts of the cloak round about.
35And it shall be on Aaron for service; that his sound may be heard when he goeth into the sanctuary before Jehovah, and when he cometh out, that he may not die.
36And thou shalt make a thin plate of pure gold, and engrave on it, as the engravings of a seal, Holiness to Jehovah!
37And thou shalt put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be upon the turban--upon the front of the turban shall it be.
38And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all gifts of their holy things; and it shall be continually on his forehead, that they may be accepted before Jehovah.
39And thou shalt weave the vest of byssus; and thou shalt make a turban of byssus; and thou shalt make a girdle of embroidery.

41And thou shalt clothe with them Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and hallow them, that they may serve me as priests.
42And thou shalt make them linen trousers to cover the flesh of nakedness; from the loins even to the hips shall they reach.
43And they shall be upon Aaron and his sons when they enter into the tent of meeting, or when they come near to the altar to serve in the sanctuary; that they may not bear iniquity and die--an everlasting statute for him and his seed after him. (Ex. 28:1‑43)

2And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus.
3And they beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it artistically into the blue, and into the purple, and into the scarlet, and into the byssus.
4They made shoulder-pieces for it, joining it: at its two ends was it joined together.

22And he made the cloak of the ephod of woven work, all of blue;
23and the opening of the cloak in its middle, as the opening of a coat of mail; a binding was round about the opening, that it should not rend.
24And they made on the skirts of the cloak pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet, twined.
25And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates, in the skirts of the cloak, round about, between the pomegranates:
26a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, in the skirts of the cloak round about, for service; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
27And they made the vests of byssus of woven work, for Aaron, and for his sons;
28and the turban of byssus; and the ornamental caps, of byssus; and the linen trousers, of twined byssus;
29and the girdle, of twined byssus, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of embroidery; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

32And all the labour of the tabernacle of the tent of meeting was ended; and the children of Israel had done it according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses--so had they done it.
33And they brought the tabernacle to Moses--the tent, and all its utensils, its clasps, its boards, its bars, and its pillars, and its bases;
34and the covering of rams' skins dyed red, and the covering of badgers' skins, and the veil of separation;
35the ark of the testimony, and its staves, and the mercy-seat;
36the table, all its utensils, and the shewbread;
37the pure candlestick, its lamps, the lamps set in order, and all its utensils, and the oil for the light;
38and the golden altar, and the anointing oil, and the incense of fragrant drugs; and the curtain for the entrance of the tent;
39the copper altar, and the copper grating that was for it, its staves and all its utensils; the laver and its stand;
40the hangings of the court, its pillars, and its bases; and the curtain for the gate of the court, its cords, and its pegs; and all the vessel's of service of the tabernacle, for the tent of meeting;
41the garments of service, for service in the sanctuary; the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and his sons' garments, to serve as priests.
42According to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses, so had the children of Israel done all the labour.
