Exodus 28

Common English Bible CEB

1 Summon to you your brother Aaron and his sons from among the Israelites to serve me as priests—Aaron and Aaron's sons, Nadab and Abihu, and Eleazar and Ithamar.

2 Make holy clothing that will give honor and dignity to your brother Aaron.

3 Tell all who are skilled, to whom I have given special abilities, to make clothing for Aaron for his dedication to serve me as a priest.

4 These are the articles of clothing that they should make: a chest pendant, a vest, a robe, a woven tunic, a turban, and a sash. When they make this holy clothing for your brother Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests,

5 they should use gold, blue, purple, and deep red yarns and fine linen.

6 They should make the vest of gold, of blue, purple, and deep red yarns and of fine twisted linen with embroidered designs.

7 The vest will have two shoulder pieces attached to its two edges so that they may be joined together.

8 The vest's belt should be attached to it and made in the same way of gold, of blue, purple, and deep red yarns and fine twisted linen.

9 Take two gemstones and engrave on them the names of Israel's sons,

10 six names on one stone and the other six names on the other stone, in the order of their birth.

11 Like a gem cutter who engraves official seals, you will engrave the two stones with the names of Israel's sons. Mount them in gold settings.

12 Attach the two stones to the vest's shoulder pieces as stones of reminder for the Israelites. Aaron will carry into the LORD's presence their names on his two shoulders as a reminder.

13 Then make gold settings

14 along with two chains of pure gold, twisted like cords. Attach the corded chains to the gold settings.

15 Make an embroidered chest pendant used for making decisions. Make it in the style of the vest, using gold, blue and purple and deep red yarns, and fine twisted linen.

16 It will be square and doubled, nine inches long and nine inches wide.

17 Set in it four rows of gemstone settings. The first row will be a row of carnelian, topaz, and emerald stones.

18 The second row will be a turquoise, a sapphire, and a moonstone.

19 The third row will be a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst.

20 The fourth row will be a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. Their settings will be made of decorative gold.

21 There will be twelve stones with names corresponding to the names of Israel's sons. They will be engraved like official seals, each with its name for the twelve tribes.

22 Make chains of pure gold twisted like cords for the chest pendant.

23 Make two gold rings for the chest pendant and attach the two rings to the two edges of the chest pendant.

24 Attach the two gold cords to the two rings at the edges of the chest pendant.

25 Then fasten the two ends of the cords to the two settings, which you should attach to the vest's two front shoulder pieces.

26 Make two gold rings and attach them to the two ends of the chest pendant on its inside edge facing the vest.

27 Make two gold rings and fasten them on the front of the lower part of the two shoulder pieces of the vest, at its seam just above the vest's belt.

28 The chest pendant should be held in place by a blue cord binding its rings to the vest's rings so that the chest pendant rests on the vest's belt and won't come loose from the vest.

29 In this way, Aaron will carry the names of Israel's sons on the chest pendant for making decisions over his heart when he goes into the sanctuary as a reminder before the LORD at all times.

30 Put into the chest pendant used for making decisions the Urim and the Thummim, so they will be over Aaron's heart when he goes into the LORD's presence. In this way, Aaron will carry the means to make decisions for the Israelites over his heart when in the LORD's presence at all times.

31 You will make the robe for the vest all of blue.

32 The opening for the head should be in the middle of it. The opening should be reinforced by a woven binding, a strong border so that it doesn't tear.

33 On its lower hem add pomegranates made of blue, purple, and deep red yarns all around the lower hem, with gold bells between the pomegranates all around it.

34 A gold bell and a pomegranate should alternate all around the lower hem of the robe.

35 Aaron will wear the robe when he ministers as a priest. Its sound will be heard when he goes into the sanctuary in the LORD's presence and when he comes out, so that he will not die.

36 Make a flower ornament of pure gold and engrave on it like an official seal: "Holy to the LORD."

37 You should fasten it on the turban with a blue cord. It should be on the front of the turban.

38 It will be on Aaron's forehead, and Aaron will take on himself any guilt connected with the holy offerings that the Israelites give as their sacred donations. It will always be on his forehead so that the people may be remembered favorably in the LORD's presence.

39 Weave the tunic out of fine linen. Make the turban out of fine linen. Make a sash decorated with needlework.

40 For Aaron's sons, you should also make tunics, sashes, and turbans to mark their honor and dignity.

41 Put these garments on your brother Aaron and on his sons with him. Anoint them with oil, ordain them, and make them holy to serve me as priests.

42 You should also make linen undergarments for them to cover their naked skin from their hips to their thighs.

43 Aaron and his sons should wear this clothing when they go into the meeting tent or when they approach the altar to minister as priests in the sanctuary. Otherwise, they will bring guilt on themselves and die. This will be a permanent regulation for him and for his descendants after him.

3 And you shall speak to all who have ability, whom I have endowed with skill, that they make Aaron's vestments to consecrate him for my priesthood.

4 These are the vestments that they shall make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a checkered tunic, a turban, and a sash. When they make these sacred vestments for your brother Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests,

5 they shall use gold, blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and fine linen.

6 They shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and of fine twisted linen, skillfully worked.

8 The decorated band on it shall be of the same workmanship and materials, of gold, of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, and of fine twisted linen.

9 You shall take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel,

10 six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the remaining six on the other stone, in the order of their birth.

11 As a gem-cutter engraves signets, so you shall engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel; you shall mount them in settings of gold filigree.

12 You shall set the two stones on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, as stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel; and Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord on his two shoulders for remembrance.

14 and two chains of pure gold, twisted like cords; and you shall attach the corded chains to the settings.

15 You shall make a breastpiece of judgment, in skilled work; you shall make it in the style of the ephod; of gold, of blue and purple and crimson yarns, and of fine twisted linen you shall make it.

16 It shall be square and doubled, a span in length and a span in width.

17 You shall set in it four rows of stones. A row of carnelian, chrysolite, and emerald shall be the first row;

18 and the second row a turquoise, a sapphire and a moonstone;

23 and you shall make for the breastpiece two rings of gold, and put the two rings on the two edges of the breastpiece.

24 You shall put the two cords of gold in the two rings at the edges of the breastpiece;

25 the two ends of the two cords you shall attach to the two settings, and so attach it in front to the shoulder-pieces of the ephod.

26 You shall make two rings of gold, and put them at the two ends of the breastpiece, on its inside edge next to the ephod.

27 You shall make two rings of gold, and attach them in front to the lower part of the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod, at its joining above the decorated band of the ephod.

28 The breastpiece shall be bound by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue cord, so that it may lie on the decorated band of the ephod, and so that the breastpiece shall not come loose from the ephod.

29 So Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastpiece of judgment on his heart when he goes into the holy place, for a continual remembrance before the Lord.

30 In the breastpiece of judgment you shall put the Urim and the Thummim, and they shall be on Aaron's heart when he goes in before the Lord; thus Aaron shall bear the judgment of the Israelites on his heart before the Lord continually.

31 You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue.

32 It shall have an opening for the head in the middle of it, with a woven binding around the opening, like the opening in a coat of mail, so that it may not be torn.

33 On its lower hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, purple, and crimson yarns, all around the lower hem, with bells of gold between them all around—

34 a golden bell and a pomegranate alternating all around the lower hem of the robe.

41 You shall put them on your brother Aaron, and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them and ordain them and consecrate them, so that they may serve me as priests.

42 You shall make for them linen undergarments to cover their naked flesh; they shall reach from the hips to the thighs;

43 Aaron and his sons shall wear them when they go into the tent of meeting, or when they come near the altar to minister in the holy place; or they will bring guilt on themselves and die. This shall be a perpetual ordinance for him and for his descendants after him.
