28
1And take youi unto youi Aharon [Bright, Very High] youi brother, and his sons with him, from among the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office, [even] Aharon [Bright, Very High], Nadav [Generous] and Avihu [he is my father], El’azar [God has helped] and Itamar [Coast of Palms], Aharon [Bright, Very High]’s sons.
2And youi shall make holy garments for Aharon [Bright, Very High] youi brother for glory and for beauty.
3And youi shall speak unto all [that are] wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aharon [Bright, Very High]’s garments to consecrate (treat as set apart or separate unto God) him, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.
4And these [are] the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod (vest), and a robe, and a adorned with needlework coat, a mitre (turban; ceremonial headdress), and a belt: and they shall make holy garments for Aharon [Bright, Very High] youi brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office.
5And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.
6And they shall make the ephod (vest) [of] gold, [of] blue, and [of] purple, [of] scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work.
7It shall have the two shoulder pieces thereof joined at the two edges thereof; and [so] it shall be joined together.
8And the detailed (skillfully made) belt of the ephod (vest), which [is] upon it, shall be of the same, according to the work thereof; [even of] gold, [of] blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9And youi shall take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]:
10Six of their names on one stone, and [the other] six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.
11With the work of an engraver in stone, [like] the engravings of a signet (seal or stamp), shall youi engrave the two stones with the names of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: youi shall make them to be set in sockets of gold.
12And youi shall put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod (vest) [for] stones of memorial unto the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]: and Aharon [Bright, Very High] shall bear their names before the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) upon his two shoulders for a memorial.
13And youi shall make sockets [of] gold;
14And two chains [of] pure gold at the ends; [of] wreathen work shall youi make them, and fasten the wreathen chains to the sockets.
15And youi shall make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod (vest) youi shall make it; [of] gold, [of] blue, and [of] purple, and [of] scarlet, and [of] fine twined linen, shall youi make it.
16Foursquare (squared; four cornered) it shall be [being] doubled; a span [shall be] the length thereof, and a span [shall be] the breadth thereof.
17And youi shall set in it settings of stones, [even] four rows of stones: [the first] row [shall be] a sardius, a topaz, and a Carbuncle (a red precious stone): [this shall be] the first row.
18And the second row [shall be] an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
19And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
20And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.
21And the stones shall be with the names of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], twelve, according to their names, [like] the engravings of a signet (seal or stamp); every one with his name shall they be according to the twelve tribes.
22And youi shall make upon the breastplate chains at the ends [of] wreathen work [of] pure gold.
23And youi shall make upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
24And youi shall put the two wreathen [chains] of gold in the two rings [which are] on the ends of the breastplate.
25And [the other] two ends of the two wreathen [chains] youi shall fasten in the two sockets, and put [them] on the shoulder pieces of the ephod (vest) before it.
26And youi shall make two rings of gold, and youi shall put them upon the two ends of the breastplate in the border thereof, which [is] in the side of the ephod (vest) inward.
27And two [other] rings of gold youi shall make, and shall put them on the two sides of the ephod (vest) underneath, toward the forepart thereof, over against the [other] coupling thereof, above the detailed (skillfully made) belt of the ephod (vest).
28And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod (vest) with a lace of blue, that [it] may be above the detailed (skillfully made) belt of the ephod (vest), and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod (vest).
29And Aharon [Bright, Very High] shall bear the names of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goes in unto the holy [place], for a memorial before the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) continually.
30And youi shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim [Lights] and the Tumim [Perfection]; and they shall be upon Aharon [Bright, Very High]’s heart, when he goes in before the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): and Aharon [Bright, Very High] shall bear the judgment of the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] upon his heart before the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) continually.
31And youi shall make the robe of the ephod (vest) all [of] blue.
32And there shall be an hole in the top of it, in the midst thereof: it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of an habergeon (coat of mail for the neck and down), that it be not rent.
33And [beneath] upon the hem of it youi shall make pomegranates [of] blue, and [of] purple, and [of] scarlet, round about the hem thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:
34A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about.
35And it shall be upon Aharon [Bright, Very High] to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goes in unto the holy [place] before the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), and when he comes out, that he die not.
36And youi shall make a plate [of] pure gold, and grave upon it, [like] the engravings of a signet (seal or stamp), HOLINESS TO THE Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
37And youi shall put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon the mitre (turban; ceremonial headdress); upon the forefront of the mitre (turban; ceremonial headdress) it shall be.
38And it shall be upon Aharon [Bright, Very High]’s forehead, that Aharon [Bright, Very High] may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] shall hallow (to approve, commend, accept) in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
39And youi shall embroider the coat of fine linen, and youi shall make the mitre (turban; ceremonial headdress) [of] fine linen, and youi shall make the belt [of] needlework.
40And for Aharon [Bright, Very High]’s sons youi shall make coats, and youi shall make for them girdles, and bonnets shall youi make for them, for glory and for beauty.
41And youi shall put them upon Aharon [Bright, Very High] youi brother, and his sons with him; and shall anoint them, and consecrate (treat as set apart or separate unto God) them, and sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) them, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office.
42And youi shall make them linen trousers to cover their nakedness; from the waist even unto the thighs they shall reach:
43And they shall be upon Aharon [Bright, Very High], and upon his sons, when they come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy [place]; that they bear not iniquity, and die: [it shall be] a statute forever unto him and his seed after him.
