40 1"For Aaron's sons you shall make coats and sashes and caps. You shall make them 2for glory and beauty.
41 And you shall put them on Aaron your brother, and on his sons with him, and shall 3anoint them and ordain them and 4consecrate them, that they may serve me as priests.
42 You shall make for them 5linen undergarments to cover their naked flesh. They shall reach from the hips to the thighs;
43 and they shall be on Aaron and on his sons when they go into the tent of meeting or when they come near the altar to minister in the Holy Place, lest they 6bear guilt and die. 7This shall be a statute forever for him and for his offspring after him.
