祭司的圣服(A)

28 “你要从以色列人中,叫你的哥哥亚伦和他的儿子拿答亚比户以利亚撒以他玛一同亲近你,作事奉我的祭司。 你要为你哥哥亚伦做圣衣,以示尊严和华美。 要吩咐一切心中有智慧的,就是我用智慧的灵所充满的人,为亚伦做衣服,使他分别为圣,作事奉我的祭司。 所要做的是胸袋、以弗得、外袍、织成的内袍、礼冠和腰带。他们要为你哥哥亚伦和他的儿子做圣衣,使他们作祭司事奉我。 要用金色、蓝色、紫色、朱红色纱,和细麻去缝制。”

以弗得

“他们要用金色、蓝色、紫色、朱红色纱,和搓的细麻,以刺绣的手艺做以弗得。 以弗得当有两条肩带,接上两端,使它相连。 以弗得的精致带子,要以一样的手艺,用金色、蓝色、紫色、朱红色纱,和搓的细麻缝制,与以弗得接连在一起。 要取两块红玛瑙,在上面刻以色列儿子的名字: 10 六个名字在一块宝石上,六个名字在另一块宝石上,都按照他们出生的次序。 11 要以雕刻宝石的手艺,如同刻印章,把以色列儿子的名字刻在这两块宝石上,并把宝石镶在金槽里。 12 要把这两块宝石安在以弗得的两条肩带上,为以色列人作纪念石。亚伦要在耶和华面前把他们的名字带在两肩上,作为纪念。 13 要用金子做两个槽, 14 再用纯金打两条链子,像编成的绳子一样,把这编成的金链扣在槽上。”

胸袋(B)

15 “你要以刺绣的手艺做一个决断的胸袋,和做以弗得的方法一样,用金色、蓝色、紫色、朱红色纱,和搓的细麻缝制。 16 胸袋是正方形的,叠成两层,长一虎口,宽一虎口。 17 要在上面镶四行宝石:第一行是红宝石、红璧玺、红玉; 18 第二行是绿宝石、蓝宝石、金刚石; 19 第三行是紫玛瑙、白玛瑙、紫晶; 20 第四行是水苍玉、红玛瑙、碧玉。这些都要镶在金槽中。 21 这些宝石要有以色列十二个儿子的名字,如同刻印章,每一颗有自己的名字,代表十二个支派。 22 要在胸袋上用纯金打链子,像编成的绳子一样。 23 要为胸袋做两个金环,把这两个环安在胸袋的两端。 24 要把那两条编成的金链系在胸袋两端的两个环上。 25 又要把链子的另外两端扣在两个槽上,安在以弗得前面的肩带上。 26 要做两个金环,安在胸袋的两端,在以弗得里面的边上。 27 再做两个金环,安在以弗得前面两条肩带的下边,靠近接缝处,在以弗得精致带子的上面。 28 要用蓝色的带子把胸袋的环与以弗得的环系住,使胸袋绑在以弗得的精致带子上,不致松脱。 29 亚伦进圣所的时候,要把刻着以色列儿子名字的决断胸袋带着,放在心上,在耶和华面前常作纪念。 30 又要将乌陵和土明[a]放在决断胸袋里;亚伦进到耶和华面前的时候,要放在心上。这样,亚伦在耶和华面前要把以色列人的决断胸袋常常带着,放在心上。”

祭司的其他圣服(C)

31 “你要做以弗得的外袍,颜色全是蓝的。 32 袍上方的中间要留一个领口,领口周围的领边要以手艺编织而成,好像铠甲的领口,免得破裂。 33 袍子下摆,就是下摆的周围要用蓝色、紫色、朱红色纱做石榴,周围的石榴中间要有金铃铛: 34 一个金铃铛一个石榴,一个金铃铛一个石榴,在袍子下摆的周围。 35 亚伦供职的时候要穿这袍。他进入圣所到耶和华面前,以及出来的时候,袍上的铃声必被听见,使他不至于死。

36 “你要用纯金做一面牌,如同刻印章,在上面刻‘归耶和华为圣’。 37 要用蓝色的带子把牌系在礼冠上,在礼冠的正前面。 38 这牌必在亚伦的额上,亚伦要担当干犯圣物的罪孽;这圣物是以色列人在一切圣礼物上所分别为圣的。这牌要常在他的额上,使他们可以在耶和华面前蒙悦纳。 39 要用细麻编织内袍,用细麻做礼冠,又以刺绣的手艺做腰带。

40 “你要为亚伦的儿子做内袍、腰带、头巾,以示尊严和华美。 41 要把这些给你哥哥亚伦和他的儿子穿戴,又要膏他们,授予圣职,使他们分别为圣,作事奉我的祭司。 42 要用细麻布给他们做裤子来遮掩下体,从腰间直到大腿。 43 亚伦和他儿子进入会幕,或接近祭坛,在圣所供职的时候要穿上裤子,免得担当罪孽而死。这要成为亚伦和他后裔永远的定例。”

The Priestly Garments

28 And bring near to yourself Aaron, your brother, and his sons with him from among the children of Israel, so that they may minister to Me as priests—Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s sons. You shall make holy garments for your brother Aaron, for glory and for beauty. You shall speak to all who are specially skilled, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s garments to consecrate him, that he may minister to Me as a priest. These are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and an embroidered coat, a turban, and a sash. They shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother and his sons, that he may minister to Me as priest. They shall take the gold, the blue, the purple, and the scarlet, and fine linen.

The Ephod(A)

They shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of a skilled workman. It shall have the two shoulder pieces attached to its two corners, so it shall be joined together. The skillfully woven waistband of the ephod, which is on it, shall be of the same workmanship, of the same material: of gold, of blue and purple, and scarlet, and fine twisted linen.

You shall take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel, 10 six of their names on one stone, and the other six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth. 11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel. You shall set them in filigree of gold. 12 You shall put the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod as stones of memorial for the children of Israel, and Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord on his two shoulders as a memorial. 13 You shall make filigree settings of gold, 14 and two chains of pure gold. You shall make them of twisted cord and fasten the braided chains to the filigree settings.

The Breastplate(B)

15 You shall make the breastplate of judgment, the work of a skillful workman. You shall make it in the same manner as the ephod. Of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twisted linen you shall make it. 16 It is to be square when doubled: a span[a] in length and a span in width. 17 You shall set in it four rows of stones. The first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle; 18 the second row an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond; 19 the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; 20 and the fourth row a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They shall be set in gold filigree. 21 The stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, each like the engravings of a signet, every one according to his name for the twelve tribes.

22 You shall make for the breastplate braided chains of pure gold. 23 You shall make on the breastplate two rings of gold and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. 24 You shall put the two braided chains of gold on the two rings which are on the ends of the breastplate. 25 You shall fasten the other two ends of the two braided chains in the two filigree settings and put them on the front of the shoulder pieces of the ephod. 26 You shall make two rings of gold and shall put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it which is toward the inner side of the ephod. 27 You shall make two other rings of gold and shall put them on the two shoulder pieces of the ephod underneath toward the front, close to the place where it is joined above the skillfully woven waistband of the ephod. 28 They shall bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue cord, so that it may be above the skillfully woven waistband of the ephod, and so that the breastplate will not come loose from the ephod.

29 Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel on the breastplate of judgment over his heart when he goes into the holy place, as a memorial before the Lord continually. 30 You shall put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastplate of judgment, and they shall be over Aaron’s heart when he goes in before the Lord. And Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel over his heart before the Lord continually.

Other Priestly Garments(C)

31 You shall make the robe of the ephod completely blue. 32 There shall be a hole at the top of it, in the middle of it. Around its opening it shall have 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 of purple, and of scarlet, all around its hem, and bells of gold between them all around: 34 a 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 when he ministers. And its sound shall be heard when he goes into the holy place before the Lord, and when he comes out, so that he does not die.

36 You shall make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet,

HOLINESS TO THE LORD.

37 You shall put it on a blue cord, so that it may be upon the turban. It is to be on the front of the turban. 38 It shall be on Aaron’s forehead, so that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things which the children of Israel shall consecrate in regard to all their holy gifts. And it shall always be on his forehead, so that they may be accepted before the Lord.

39 You shall embroider the tunic of fine linen, and you shall make the turban of fine linen, and you shall make the sash, the work of an embroiderer. 40 For Aaron’s sons you shall make tunics. You shall make sashes for them, and you shall make caps for them, for glory and for beauty. 41 You shall put them on Aaron your brother, and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to Me as priests.

42 You shall make linen undergarments for them to cover their naked skin. They shall reach from the waist to the thighs. 43 They shall be on Aaron and on his sons when they come into the tent of meeting or when they come near to the altar to minister in the holy place, so that they may not bear iniquity and die.

It shall be a perpetual statute to him and his descendants after him.
