31“aYou shall make the robe of the ephod entirely of 1blue. 32“There shall be an opening 1at its top in the middle of it; around the edge of its opening there shall be a binding of woven work, like the opening of a coat of mail, so that it will not be torn. 33“You shall make on its hem pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet material, all around on its hem, and bells of gold between them all around: 34a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, all around on the hem of the robe. 35“It shall be on Aaron 1when he ministers; and its sound shall be heard when he comes into the holy place before Yahweh and when he goes out, so that he will not die.
36“You shall also make aa plate of pure gold and shall engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet, ‘bHoly to Yahweh.’ 37“You shall 1fasten it on a 2blue cord, and it shall be on the turban; it shall be at the front of the turban. 38“It shall be on Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron shall 1,atake away the iniquity of the holy things which the sons of Israel set apart as holy, with regard to all their holy gifts; and it shall continually be on his forehead, that bthey may be accepted before Yahweh.
39“You shall weave athe tunic of checkered work of fine linen, and you shall make a turban of fine linen, and you shall make a sash, the work of a 1weaver.
40“For Aaron’s sons you shall make atunics; you shall also make sashes for them, and you shall make 1,bcaps for them, for glory and for beauty. 41“You shall put them on Aaron your brother and on his sons with him; and you shall aanoint them and 1ordain them and set them apart as holy, that they may minister to Me as priests. 42“You shall make for them alinen undergarments to cover their bare flesh; they shall 1reach from the loins even to the thighs. 43“They shall be on Aaron and on his sons when they come into the tent of meeting or awhen they approach the altar to minister in the holy place, so that they do not incur 1guilt and die. bIt shall be a perpetual statute to him and to his seed after him.
