Exodus 39:21-41

21 The Breastpiece was fastened by running a cord of blue through its rings to the rings of the Ephod so that it rested secure on the decorated band of the Ephod and wouldn't come loose, just as God had commanded Moses.

22 Robe. They made the robe for the Ephod entirely of blue.

23 The opening of the robe at the center was like a collar, the edge hemmed so that it wouldn't tear.

24 On the hem of the robe they made pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet material and fine twisted linen.

25 They also made bells of pure gold and alternated the bells and pomegranates

26 - a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate - all around the hem of the robe that was worn for ministering, just as God had commanded Moses.

27 They also made the tunics of fine linen, the work of a weaver, for Aaron and his sons,

28 the turban of fine linen, the linen hats, the linen underwear made of fine twisted linen,

30 They made the plate, the sacred crown, of pure gold and engraved on it as on a seal: "Holy to God."
