命為亞倫做聖衣

28 「你要從以色列人中,使你的哥哥亞倫和他的兒子拿答亞比戶以利亞撒以他瑪一同就近你,給我供祭司的職分。 你要給你哥哥亞倫做聖衣為榮耀,為華美。 又要吩咐一切心中有智慧的,就是我用智慧的靈所充滿的,給亞倫做衣服,使他分別為聖,可以給我供祭司的職分。 所要做的就是胸牌、以弗得、外袍、雜色的內袍、冠冕、腰帶,使你哥哥亞倫和他兒子穿這聖服,可以給我供祭司的職分。 要用金線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色線並細麻去做。

「他們要拿金線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色線並撚的細麻,用巧匠的手工做以弗得。 以弗得當有兩條肩帶,接上兩頭,使它相連。 其上巧工織的帶子,要和以弗得一樣的做法,用以束上,與以弗得接連一塊,要用金線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色線並撚的細麻做成。 要取兩塊紅瑪瑙,在上面刻以色列兒子的名字, 10 六個名字在這塊寶石上,六個名字在那塊寶石上,都照他們生來的次序。 11 要用刻寶石的手工,彷彿刻圖書,按著以色列兒子的名字刻這兩塊寶石,要鑲在金槽上。 12 要將這兩塊寶石安在以弗得的兩條肩帶上,為以色列人做紀念石。亞倫要在兩肩上擔他們的名字,在耶和華面前作為紀念。 13 要用金子做二槽, 14 又拿精金,用擰工彷彿擰繩子,做兩條鏈子,把這擰成的鏈子搭在二槽上。

做胸牌之法則

15 「你要用巧匠的手工做一個決斷的胸牌。要和以弗得一樣的做法,用金線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色線並撚的細麻做成。 16 這胸牌要四方的,疊為兩層,長一虎口,寬一虎口。 17 要在上面鑲寶石四行:第一行是紅寶石、紅璧璽、紅玉, 18 第二行是綠寶石、藍寶石、金鋼石, 19 第三行是紫瑪瑙、白瑪瑙、紫晶, 20 第四行是水蒼玉、紅瑪瑙、碧玉。這都要鑲在金槽中。 21 這些寶石都要按著以色列十二個兒子的名字,彷彿刻圖書,刻十二個支派的名字。 22 要在胸牌上用精金擰成如繩的鏈子。 23 在胸牌上也要做兩個金環,安在胸牌的兩頭。 24 要把那兩條擰成的金鏈子,穿過胸牌兩頭的環子。 25 又要把鏈子的那兩頭接在兩槽上,安在以弗得前面肩帶上。 26 要做兩個金環,安在胸牌的兩頭,在以弗得裡面的邊上。 27 又要做兩個金環,安在以弗得前面兩條肩帶的下邊,挨近相接之處,在以弗得巧工織的帶子以上。 28 要用藍細帶子把胸牌的環子與以弗得的環子繫住,使胸牌貼在以弗得巧工織的帶子上,不可與以弗得離縫。 29 亞倫進聖所的時候,要將決斷胸牌,就是刻著以色列兒子名字的,戴在胸前,在耶和華面前常做紀念。 30 又要將烏陵和土明放在決斷的胸牌裡。亞倫進到耶和華面前的時候,要戴在胸前,在耶和華面前常將以色列人的決斷牌戴在胸前。

做外袍之法則

31 「你要做以弗得的外袍,顏色全是藍的。 32 袍上要為頭留一領口,口的周圍織出領邊來,彷彿鎧甲的領口,免得破裂。 33 袍子周圍底邊上要用藍色、紫色、朱紅色線做石榴,在袍子周圍的石榴中間要有金鈴鐺。 34 一個金鈴鐺一個石榴,一個金鈴鐺一個石榴,在袍子周圍的底邊上。 35 亞倫供職的時候要穿這袍子。他進聖所到耶和華面前,以及出來的時候,袍上的響聲必被聽見,使他不至於死亡。

36 「你要用精金做一面牌,在上面按刻圖書之法刻著:歸耶和華為聖。 37 要用一條藍細帶子將牌繫在冠冕的前面。 38 這牌必在亞倫的額上,亞倫要擔當干犯聖物條例的罪孽,這聖物是以色列人在一切的聖禮物上所分別為聖的。這牌要常在他的額上,使他們可以在耶和華面前蒙悅納。 39 要用雜色細麻線織內袍,用細麻布做冠冕,又用繡花的手工做腰帶。

為祭司製衣冠

40 「你要為亞倫的兒子做內袍、腰帶、裹頭巾,為榮耀,為華美。 41 要把這些給你的哥哥亞倫和他的兒子穿戴,又要膏他們,將他們分別為聖,好給我供祭司的職分。 42 要給他們做細麻布褲子,遮掩下體,褲子當從腰達到大腿。 43 亞倫和他兒子進入會幕,或就近壇,在聖所供職的時候必穿上,免得擔罪而死。這要為亞倫和他的後裔做永遠的定例。

吩咐為亞倫做聖衣(A)

28 “你要從以色列人中使你的哥哥亞倫和他的眾子,就是亞倫和他的眾子:拿答、亞比戶、以利亞撒、以他瑪,都一同來到你面前,作事奉我的祭司。 你要為你哥哥亞倫做聖衣,使他有榮耀,有華美。 你又要吩咐所有心中有智慧的,就是我用智慧的靈充滿的,給亞倫做衣服,使他成聖,作事奉我的祭司。 這些就是他們要做的衣服:胸牌、以弗得、長外袍、雜色內袍、禮冠、腰帶。他們要為你哥哥亞倫和他的眾子做聖衣,使他們作事奉我的祭司。 他們要拿金線、藍色紫色朱紅色線和細麻去做。

以弗得的做法(B)

“他們要拿金線、藍色紫色朱紅色線和撚的細麻,用巧工來做以弗得。 以弗得要有兩條肩帶,連接著兩端,好使它相連在一起。 以弗得上面的帶子,它的巧工要和以弗得一樣,用來束上以弗得,要用金線、藍色紫色朱紅色線和撚的細麻做成。 你要取兩塊紅寶石,把以色列眾子的名字刻在上面, 10 六個名字在一塊寶石上,其餘六個名字在另一塊寶石上,都是照著他們出生的次序。 11 好像寶石雕刻匠刻印章一樣,你要把以色列眾子的名字刻在這兩塊寶石上,要把它們鑲嵌在金槽中。 12 你要把這兩塊寶石安放在以弗得的肩帶上,作以色列民的記念石。亞倫在耶和華面前,用兩肩擔當他們的名字,作為記念。 13 你要做金槽, 14 和兩條純金的鍊子,像做繩子一樣擰成,把這像繩子一樣的鍊子放置在二槽上。

胸牌的做法(C)

15 “你要用巧工做一個作判斷用的胸牌,像以弗得的做法一樣,要用金線、藍色紫色朱紅色線和撚的細麻做成。 16 胸牌要四方的,雙層的,長二十二公分,寬二十二公分。 17 你要在胸牌上面鑲上四行寶石:第一行是紅寶石、黃玉、翡翠; 18 第二行是綠寶石、藍寶石、金鋼石; 19 第三行是黃瑪瑙、白瑪瑙、紫晶; 20 第四行是水蒼玉、紅瑪瑙、碧玉。這些寶石都是鑲在金槽裡。 21 按著以色列眾子的名字,這些寶石要有十二塊;按著他們的名字刻印章,按他們的名字各代表十二個支派。 22 你要在胸牌上做純金的鍊子,像做繩子一樣擰成。 23 你要在胸牌上做兩個金環,把這兩個金環安在胸牌的兩端之上。 24 你要把那兩條金鍊子穿在胸牌兩端的兩個環子裡。 25 你又要把那兩條鍊子的另兩端接在兩槽上,連在以弗得前面的肩帶上。 26 你又要做兩個金環,安在胸牌下邊的兩端,就是靠近以弗得裡面的邊緣上。 27 你又要做兩個金環,把它們安在以弗得前面兩條肩帶的下面,靠近相接的地方,在以弗得巧工織成的帶子上面。 28 你要用紫藍色細線把胸牌的環子繫在以弗得的環子上,使胸牌貼在以弗得巧工織成的帶子上,免得胸牌從以弗得上脫下來。 29 亞倫進入聖所的時候,要把作決斷用的胸牌,上面有以色列眾子的名字,帶在胸前,在耶和華面前常作記念。 30 你要把烏陵和土明放在作決斷用的胸牌裡。亞倫進入耶和華面前的時候,它們要帶在胸前;這樣,亞倫就在耶和華面前常常把以色列眾子的決斷帶在胸前。

外袍的做法(D)

31 “你要做以弗得的長外袍,全件要紫藍色。 32 在長外袍的正中,頭部的地方,要有一個領口,領口的周圍要有領邊,是用紡織的細工織成,如同戰袍的領口一樣,免得長外袍破裂。 33 在長外袍下襬的周圍,你要用藍色紫色朱紅色線做石榴,在長外袍下襬周圍的石榴中間,要綴上金鈴。 34 在長外袍下襬的周圍綴上一個金鈴、一個石榴、一個金鈴、一個石榴, 35 長外袍要穿在亞倫的身上,好作事奉。他進入聖所到耶和華面前,以及出來的時候,他的聲音必被聽見,免得他死亡。

冠牌的做法(E)

36 “你要用精金做一面牌子,在牌上像刻印章般刻著:‘歸耶和華為聖’。 37 你要用一條紫藍色細線把牌子繫住,好使它安在禮冠上,就是在禮冠的前面。 38 這牌要在亞倫的額上,亞倫要擔當干犯聖物的罪過,這些聖物是以色列人在一切聖禮物上分別為聖的;這牌要常在亞倫的額上,好使他們在耶和華面前可以得蒙悅納。 39 你要用細麻線編織雜色內袍,用細麻布做禮冠,又用刺繡的手工做腰帶。

衣冠的做法(F)

40 “你也要為亞倫的兒子做內袍,為他們做腰帶,又為他們做頭巾,使他們有榮耀,有華美。 41 你要把這些給你哥哥亞倫和他的兒子們穿上,又要膏抹他們,按立他們,把他們分別為聖,好使他們可以作我的祭司。 42 你要給他們做白麻布褲子,遮蓋裸體,褲子遮蓋腰間,直到大腿。 43 亞倫和他兒子進入會幕,或走近祭壇,在聖所裡事奉的時候,都必須穿上褲子,免得他們擔當罪過而死。這要給亞倫和他的後裔作永遠的條例。”

Garments for the Priesthood(A)

28 “Now take (B)Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister to Me as (C)priest, Aaron and Aaron’s sons: (D)Nadab, Abihu, (E)Eleazar, and Ithamar. And (F)you shall make [a]holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty. So (G)you shall speak to all who are gifted artisans, (H)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 priest. And these are the garments which they shall make: (I)a breastplate, (J)an [b]ephod, (K)a robe, (L)a skillfully woven tunic, a turban, and (M)a sash. So they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother and his sons, that he may minister to Me as priest.

The Ephod

“They shall take the gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and the fine linen, (N)and they shall make the ephod of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, artistically worked. It shall have two shoulder straps joined at its two edges, and so it shall be joined together. And the [c]intricately woven band of the ephod, which is on it, shall be of the same workmanship, made of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen.

“Then you shall take two onyx (O)stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel: 10 six of their names on one stone and six names on the other stone, in order of their (P)birth. 11 With the work of an (Q)engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel. You shall set them in settings of gold. 12 And you shall put the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. So (R)Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord on his two shoulders (S)as a memorial. 13 You shall also make settings of gold, 14 and you shall make two chains of pure gold like braided cords, and fasten the braided chains to the settings.

The Breastplate(T)

15 (U)“You shall make the breastplate of judgment. Artistically woven according to the workmanship of the ephod you shall make it: of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, you shall make it. 16 It shall be doubled into a square: a span shall be its length, and a span shall be its width. 17 (V)And you shall put settings of stones in it, four rows of stones: The first row shall be a [d]sardius, a topaz, and an emerald; this shall be the first row; 18 the second row shall be a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond; 19 the third row, a [e]jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; 20 and the fourth row, a [f]beryl, an [g]onyx, and a jasper. They shall be set in gold settings. 21 And the stones shall have the names of the sons of Israel, twelve according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, each one with its own name; they shall be according to the twelve tribes.

22 “You shall make chains for the breastplate at the end, like braided cords of pure gold. 23 And you shall make two rings of gold for the breastplate, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. 24 Then you shall put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the breastplate; 25 and the other two ends of the two braided chains you shall fasten to the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod in the front.

26 “You shall make two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it, which is on the inner side of the ephod. 27 And two other rings of gold you shall make, and put them on the two shoulder straps, underneath the ephod toward its front, right at the seam above the [h]intricately woven band of the ephod. 28 They shall bind the breastplate by means of its rings to the rings of the ephod, using a blue cord, so that it is above the intricately woven band of the ephod, and so that the breastplate does not come loose from the ephod.

29 “So Aaron shall (W)bear the names of the sons 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 And (X)you shall put in the breastplate of judgment the [i]Urim and the Thummim, and they shall be over Aaron’s heart when he goes in before the Lord. So Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel over his heart before the Lord continually.

Other Priestly Garments(Y)

31 (Z)“You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue. 32 There shall be an opening for his head in the middle of it; it shall have a woven binding all around its opening, like the opening in a coat of mail, so that it does not tear. 33 And upon its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, purple, and 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, upon the hem of the robe all around. 35 And it shall be upon Aaron when he ministers, and its sound will be heard when he goes into the holy place before the Lord and when he comes out, that he may not die.

36 (AA)“You shall also make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it, like the engraving of a signet:

HOLINESS TO THE LORD.

37 And you shall put it on a blue cord, that it may be on the turban; it shall be on the front of the turban. 38 So it shall be on Aaron’s forehead, that Aaron may (AB)bear the iniquity of the holy things which the children of Israel hallow in all their [j]holy gifts; and it shall always be on his forehead, that they may be (AC)accepted before the Lord.

39 “You shall (AD)skillfully weave the tunic of fine linen thread, you shall make the turban of fine linen, and you shall make the sash of woven work.

40 (AE)“For Aaron’s sons you shall make tunics, and you shall make sashes for them. And you shall make [k]hats for them, for glory and (AF)beauty. 41 So you shall put them on Aaron your brother and on his sons with him. You shall (AG)anoint them, (AH)consecrate them, and [l]sanctify them, that they may minister to Me as priests. 42 And you shall make (AI)for them linen trousers to cover their [m]nakedness; they shall [n]reach from the waist to the thighs. 43 They shall be on Aaron and on his sons when they come into the tabernacle of meeting, or when they come near (AJ)the altar to minister in the holy place, that they (AK)do not incur [o]iniquity and die. (AL)It shall be a statute forever to him and his descendants after him.
