Exodus 28:1-7

1 "Tell your brother Aaron to come to you, along with his sons Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. Separate them from the other Israelites to serve me as priests.

2 Make holy clothes for your brother Aaron to give him honor and beauty.

3 Tell all the skilled craftsmen to whom I have given wisdom to make special clothes for Aaron -- clothes to show that he belongs to me so that he may serve me as a priest.

4 These are the clothes they must make: a chest covering, a holy vest, an outer robe, a woven inner robe, a turban, and a cloth belt. The craftsmen must make these holy clothes for your brother Aaron and his sons. Then they may serve me as priests.

5 The craftsmen must use gold and blue, purple and red thread, and fine linen.

6 "Use gold and blue, purple and red thread, and fine linen to make the holy vest; skilled craftsmen are to make it.

7 At each top corner of this holy vest there will be a pair of shoulder straps tied together over each shoulder.
