1 Now let Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, come near from among the children of Israel, so that they may be my priests, even Aaron, and Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, his sons.
1 “Have Aaron your brother brought to you from among the Israelites, along with his sons Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, so they may serve me as priests.
2 And make holy robes for Aaron your brother, so that he may be clothed with glory and honour.
2 Make sacred garments for your brother Aaron to give him dignity and honor.
3 Give orders to all the wise-hearted workmen, whom I have made full of the spirit of wisdom, to make robes for Aaron, so that he may be made holy as my priest.
3 Tell all the skilled workers to whom I have given wisdom in such matters that they are to make garments for Aaron, for his consecration, so he may serve me as priest.
4 This is what they are to make: a priest's bag, an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of coloured needlework, a head-dress, and a linen band; they are to make holy robes for Aaron your brother and for his sons, so that they may do the work of priests for me.
4 These are the garments they are to make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a woven tunic, a turban and a sash. They are to make these sacred garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so they may serve me as priests.
5 They are to take the gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen,
5 Have them use gold, and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.
6 And make the ephod of gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen, the work of a designer.
6 “Make the ephod of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen—the work of skilled hands.
7 It is to have two bands stitched to it at the top of the arms, joining it together.
7 It is to have two shoulder pieces attached to two of its corners, so it can be fastened.
8 And the beautifully worked band, which goes on it, is to be of the same work and the same material, of gold and blue and purple and red and twisted linen-work.
8 Its skillfully woven waistband is to be like it—of one piece with the ephod and made with gold, and with blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and with finely twisted linen.
9 You are to take two beryl stones, on which the names of the children of Israel are to be cut:

10 in the order of their birth—six names on one stone and the remaining six on the other.
11 With the work of a jeweller, like the cutting of a stamp, the names of the children of Israel are to be cut on them, and they are to be fixed in twisted frames of gold.
11 Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the way a gem cutter engraves a seal. Then mount the stones in gold filigree settings
12 And the two stones are to be placed on the ephod, over the arm-holes, to be stones of memory for the children of Israel: Aaron will have their names on his arms when he goes in before the Lord, to keep the Lord in mind of them.
12 and fasten them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. Aaron is to bear the names on his shoulders as a memorial before the LORD.
13 And you are to make twisted frames of gold;
13 Make gold filigree settings
14 And two chains of the best gold, twisted like cords; and have the chains fixed on to the frames.
14 and two braided chains of pure gold, like a rope, and attach the chains to the settings.
15 And make a priest's bag for giving decisions, designed like the ephod, made of gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen.
15 “Fashion a breastpiece for making decisions—the work of skilled hands. Make it like the ephod: of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen.
16 It is to be square, folded in two, a hand-stretch long and a hand-stretch wide.
16 It is to be square—a span long and a span wide—and folded double.
17 And on it you are to put four lines of jewels; the first line is to be a cornelian, a chrysolite, and an emerald;
17 Then mount four rows of precious stones on it. The first row shall be carnelian, chrysolite and beryl;
18 The second, a ruby, a sapphire, and an onyx;
18 the second row shall be turquoise, lapis lazuli and emerald;
19 The third, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
19 the third row shall be jacinth, agate and amethyst;
20 The fourth, a topaz, a beryl, and a jasper; they are to be fixed in twisted frames of gold.
20 the fourth row shall be topaz, onyx and jasper. Mount them in gold filigree settings.
21 The jewels are to be twelve in number, for the names of the children of Israel; every jewel having the name of one of the twelve tribes cut on it as on a stamp.
21 There are to be twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.
22 And you are to make two chains of gold, twisted like cords, to be fixed to the priest's bag.
22 “For the breastpiece make braided chains of pure gold, like a rope.
23 And put two gold rings on the two ends of the bag.
23 Make two gold rings for it and fasten them to two corners of the breastpiece.
24 Put the two gold chains on the two rings at the ends of the bag;
24 Fasten the two gold chains to the rings at the corners of the breastpiece,
25 Joining the other ends of the chains to the gold frames and putting them on the front of the ephod, at the top of the arms.
25 and the other ends of the chains to the two settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front.
26 Then make two gold rings and put them on the lower ends of the bag, at the edge of it on the inner side nearest to the ephod.
26 Make two gold rings and attach them to the other two corners of the breastpiece on the inside edge next to the ephod.
27 And make two more gold rings and put them on the front of the ephod at the top of the arms, at the join, over the worked band:
27 Make two more gold rings and attach them to the bottom of the shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod, close to the seam just above the waistband of the ephod.
28 So that the rings on the bag may be fixed to the rings of the ephod by a blue cord and on to the band of the ephod, so that the bag may not come loose from the ephod.
28 The rings of the breastpiece are to be tied to the rings of the ephod with blue cord, connecting it to the waistband, so that the breastpiece will not swing out from the ephod.
29 And so Aaron will have the names of the children of Israel on the priest's bag over his heart whenever he goes into the holy place, to keep the memory of them before the Lord.
29 “Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he will bear the names of the sons of Israel over his heart on the breastpiece of decision as a continuing memorial before the LORD.
30 And in the bag you are to put the Urim and Thummim, so that they may be on Aaron's heart whenever he goes in before the Lord; and Aaron may have the power of making decisions for the children of Israel before the Lord at all times.
30 Also put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastpiece, so they may be over Aaron’s heart whenever he enters the presence of the LORD. Thus Aaron will always bear the means of making decisions for the Israelites over his heart before the LORD.
31 The robe which goes with the ephod is to be made all of blue;
31 “Make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth,
32 With a hole at the top, in the middle of it; the hole is to be edged with a band to make it strong like the hole in the coat of a fighting-man, so that it may not be broken open.
32 with an opening for the head in its center. There shall be a woven edge like a collar around this opening, so that it will not tear.
33 And round the skirts of it put fruits in blue and purple and red, with bells of gold between;
33 Make pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet yarn around the hem of the robe, with gold bells between them.
34 A gold bell and a fruit in turn all round the skirts of the robe.
34 The gold bells and the pomegranates are to alternate around the hem of the robe.
35 Aaron is to put it on for his holy work; and the sound of it will be clear, when he goes into the holy place before the Lord, and when he comes out, keeping him safe from death.

38 And it will be over Aaron's brow, so that Aaron will be responsible for any error in all the holy offerings made by the children of Israel; it will be on his brow at all times, so that their offerings may be pleasing to the Lord.
38 It will be on Aaron’s forehead, and he will bear the guilt involved in the sacred gifts the Israelites consecrate, whatever their gifts may be. It will be on Aaron’s forehead continually so that they will be acceptable to the LORD.
