2
And make holy robes for Aaron your brother, so that he may be clothed with glory and honour.
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.
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.
5
They are to take the gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen,
6
And make the ephod of gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen, the work of a designer.
7
It is to have two bands stitched to it at the top of the arms, joining it together.
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.
9
You are to take two beryl stones, on which the names of the children of Israel are to be cut:
10
Six names on the one stone and six on the other, in the order of their birth.
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.
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.
