Instructions for other priestly clothing
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.
