出埃及 28
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
吩咐为亚伦做圣衣(A)
28 “你要从以色列人中使你的哥哥亚伦和他的众子,就是亚伦和他的众子:拿答、亚比户、以利亚撒、以他玛,都一同来到你面前,作事奉我的祭司。 2 你要为你哥哥亚伦做圣衣,使他有荣耀,有华美。 3 你又要吩咐所有心中有智慧的,就是我用智慧的灵充满的,给亚伦做衣服,使他成圣,作事奉我的祭司。 4 这些就是他们要做的衣服:胸牌、以弗得、长外袍、杂色内袍、礼冠、腰带。他们要为你哥哥亚伦和他的众子做圣衣,使他们作事奉我的祭司。 5 他们要拿金线、蓝色紫色朱红色线和细麻去做。
以弗得的做法(B)
6 “他们要拿金线、蓝色紫色朱红色线和捻的细麻,用巧工来做以弗得。 7 以弗得要有两条肩带,连接着两端,好使它相连在一起。 8 以弗得上面的带子,它的巧工要和以弗得一样,用来束上以弗得,要用金线、蓝色紫色朱红色线和捻的细麻做成。 9 你要取两块红宝石,把以色列众子的名字刻在上面, 10 六个名字在一块宝石上,其余六个名字在另一块宝石上,都是照着他们出生的次序。 11 好象宝石雕刻匠刻印章一样,你要把以色列众子的名字刻在这两块宝石上,要把它们镶嵌在金槽中。 12 你要把这两块宝石安放在以弗得的肩带上,作以色列民的记念石。亚伦在耶和华面前,用两肩担当他们的名字,作为记念。 13 你要做金槽, 14 和两条纯金的链子,像做绳子一样拧成,把这像绳子一样的链子放置在二槽上。
胸牌的做法(C)
15 “你要用巧工做一个作判断用的胸牌,像以弗得的做法一样,要用金线、蓝色紫色朱红色线和捻的细麻做成。 16 胸牌要四方的,双层的,长二十二公分,宽二十二公分。 17 你要在胸牌上面镶上四行宝石:第一行是红宝石、黄玉、翡翠; 18 第二行是绿宝石、蓝宝石、金钢石; 19 第三行是黄玛瑙、白玛瑙、紫晶; 20 第四行是水苍玉、红玛瑙、碧玉。这些宝石都是镶在金槽里。 21 按着以色列众子的名字,这些宝石要有十二块;按着他们的名字刻印章,按他们的名字各代表十二个支派。 22 你要在胸牌上做纯金的链子,像做绳子一样拧成。 23 你要在胸牌上做两个金环,把这两个金环安在胸牌的两端之上。 24 你要把那两条金链子穿在胸牌两端的两个环子里。 25 你又要把那两条链子的另两端接在两槽上,连在以弗得前面的肩带上。 26 你又要做两个金环,安在胸牌下边的两端,就是靠近以弗得里面的边缘上。 27 你又要做两个金环,把它们安在以弗得前面两条肩带的下面,靠近相接的地方,在以弗得巧工织成的带子上面。 28 你要用紫蓝色细线把胸牌的环子系在以弗得的环子上,使胸牌贴在以弗得巧工织成的带子上,免得胸牌从以弗得上脱下来。 29 亚伦进入圣所的时候,要把作决断用的胸牌,上面有以色列众子的名字,带在胸前,在耶和华面前常作记念。 30 你要把乌陵和土明放在作决断用的胸牌里。亚伦进入耶和华面前的时候,它们要带在胸前;这样,亚伦就在耶和华面前常常把以色列众子的决断带在胸前。
外袍的做法(D)
31 “你要做以弗得的长外袍,全件要紫蓝色。 32 在长外袍的正中,头部的地方,要有一个领口,领口的周围要有领边,是用纺织的细工织成,如同战袍的领口一样,免得长外袍破裂。 33 在长外袍下襬的周围,你要用蓝色紫色朱红色线做石榴,在长外袍下襬周围的石榴中间,要缀上金铃。 34 在长外袍下襬的周围缀上一个金铃、一个石榴、一个金铃、一个石榴, 35 长外袍要穿在亚伦的身上,好作事奉。他进入圣所到耶和华面前,以及出来的时候,他的声音必被听见,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着:‘归耶和华为圣’。 37 你要用一条紫蓝色细线把牌子系住,好使它安在礼冠上,就是在礼冠的前面。 38 这牌要在亚伦的额上,亚伦要担当干犯圣物的罪过,这些圣物是以色列人在一切圣礼物上分别为圣的;这牌要常在亚伦的额上,好使他们在耶和华面前可以得蒙悦纳。 39 你要用细麻线编织杂色内袍,用细麻布做礼冠,又用刺绣的手工做腰带。
衣冠的做法(F)
40 “你也要为亚伦的儿子做内袍,为他们做腰带,又为他们做头巾,使他们有荣耀,有华美。 41 你要把这些给你哥哥亚伦和他的儿子们穿上,又要膏抹他们,按立他们,把他们分别为圣,好使他们可以作我的祭司。 42 你要给他们做白麻布裤子,遮盖裸体,裤子遮盖腰间,直到大腿。 43 亚伦和他儿子进入会幕,或走近祭坛,在圣所里事奉的时候,都必须穿上裤子,免得他们担当罪过而死。这要给亚伦和他的后裔作永远的条例。”
Exodus 28
Easy-to-Read Version
Clothes for the Priests
28 “Tell your brother Aaron and his sons, Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, to come to you from the Israelites. These men will serve me as priests.
2 “Make special clothes for your brother Aaron. These clothes will give him honor and respect. 3 I have given special wisdom to some of the skilled men. Tell them to make the clothes for Aaron. These clothes will show that he serves me in a special way. Then he can serve me as a priest. 4 These are the clothes the men should make: the judgment pouch, the ephod, a blue robe, a white woven robe, a turban, and a cloth belt. They must make these special clothes for your brother Aaron and his sons. Then Aaron and his sons can serve me as priests. 5 Tell the men to use gold thread, fine linen, and blue, purple, and red yarn.
The Ephod and the Cloth Belt
6 “Use gold thread, fine linen, and blue, purple, and red yarn to make the ephod. This must be the work of a very skilled person. 7 At each shoulder of the ephod, there should be a shoulder piece. These shoulder pieces should be tied to the two corners of the ephod.
8 “The men will very carefully weave a cloth belt for the ephod. This belt must be made the same way as the ephod—use gold threads, fine linen, and blue, purple, and red yarn.
9 “Take two onyx stones. Write the names of the twelve sons of Israel on these jewels. 10 Write six names on one jewel and six names on the other jewel. Write the names in order, from the oldest son to the youngest. 11 Cut the names of the sons of Israel into these stones. Do this the way a worker makes a seal. Put the jewels in gold settings. 12 Then put these two jewels on the shoulder pieces of the ephod. Aaron will wear this special coat when he stands before the Lord. And the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel will be on the ephod. These jewels will cause the Lord to remember the Israelites. 13 Use fine gold to hold the stones on the ephod. 14 Twist chains of pure gold together like a rope. Make two of these gold chains and fasten them to the gold settings.
The Judgment Pouch
15 “Make the judgment pouch for the high priest. Skilled workers should make this pouch just as they made the ephod. They must use gold threads, fine linen, and blue, purple, and red yarn. 16 The judgment pouch should be folded double to make a square pocket. It should be 1 span[a] long and 1 span wide. 17 Put four rows of beautiful jewels on the judgment pouch. The first row of jewels should have a ruby, a topaz, and a beryl. 18 The second row should have a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald. 19 The third row should have a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst. 20 The fourth row should have a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. Set all these jewels in gold. 21 There will be twelve jewels on the judgment pouch—one stone for each of the sons of Israel. Each stone will be like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes cut into it.
22 “Make chains of pure gold for the judgment pouch. These chains must be braided like a rope. 23 Make two gold rings and put them on two corners of the judgment pouch. 24 Put the two golden chains through the two rings at the corners of the judgment pouch. 25 Fasten the other ends of the gold chains to the two settings. This will fasten them to the two shoulder pieces of the ephod on the front. 26 Make two more gold rings and put them on the other two corners of the judgment pouch. This will be on the inside edge of the judgment pouch next to the ephod. 27 Make two more gold rings and put them on the bottom of the shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod. Put the gold rings above the cloth belt of the ephod. 28 Use blue ribbon to tie the rings of the judgment pouch to the rings of the ephod. In this way the judgment pouch will rest close to the cloth belt and will be held against the ephod.
29 “When Aaron enters the Holy Place, he must wear the judgment pouch. In this way he will wear the names of the twelve sons of Israel over his heart. And the Lord will always be reminded of them. 30 Put the Urim and Thummim inside the judgment pouch. They will be over Aaron’s heart when he goes before the Lord. So Aaron will always carry with him a way of judging for the Israelites when he is before the Lord.
Other Clothes for the Priests
31 “Make a blue robe for the ephod. 32 Make a hole in the center for the head. And sew a piece of cloth around the edge of this hole. This cloth will be like a collar that keeps the hole from tearing. 33 Use blue, purple, and red yarn to make cloth pomegranates. Hang these pomegranates around the bottom edge of the robe, and hang gold bells between the pomegranates. 34 So around the bottom edge of the robe there should be bells and pomegranates. There should be a bell following each pomegranate. 35 Aaron will wear this robe when he serves as a priest. The bells will ring as Aaron goes into the Holy Place to stand before the Lord, and the bells will ring as he leaves the Holy Place. This way Aaron will not die.
36 “Make a strip of pure gold and carve these words into the gold like the writing on a seal: holy to the lord.[b] 37 Fasten the gold strip to a blue ribbon. Tie the blue ribbon around the turban. The gold strip should be on the front of the turban. 38 Aaron will wear this on his head. In this way he will remove the guilt if anything is wrong with the gifts that the Israelites[c] give to God. Aaron will always wear this on his head so that the Lord will accept the gifts of the people.
39 “Use fine linen to make the white woven robe and the turban. The cloth belt should have designs sewn into it. 40 Also make coats, belts, and cloth caps for Aaron’s sons. This will give them honor and respect. 41 Put the clothes on your brother Aaron and his sons. Then pour the special oil on them to make them priests. This will make them holy, and they will serve me as priests.
42 “Use linen to make underclothes for the priests. These underclothes will cover them from the waist to the thighs. 43 Aaron and his sons must wear these clothes whenever they enter the Meeting Tent. They must wear these clothes when they come near to the altar to serve as priests in the Holy Place. If they don’t wear these clothes, they will be guilty of wrong and will have to die. All this should be a law that continues forever for Aaron and all his family after him.

New International Version
The Priestly Garments
28 “Have Aaron(A) your brother brought to you from among the Israelites, along with his sons Nadab and Abihu,(B) Eleazar and Ithamar,(C) so they may serve me as priests.(D) 2 Make sacred garments(E) for your brother Aaron to give him dignity and honor.(F) 3 Tell all the skilled workers(G) to whom I have given wisdom(H) in such matters that they are to make garments for Aaron, for his consecration, so he may serve me as priest. 4 These are the garments they are to make: a breastpiece,(I) an ephod,(J) a robe,(K) a woven tunic,(L) a turban(M) and a sash. They are to make these sacred garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so they may serve me as priests. 5 Have them use gold, and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.(N)
The Ephod(O)
6 “Make the ephod(P) of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen—the work of skilled hands. 7 It is to have two shoulder pieces attached to two of its corners, so it can be fastened. 8 Its skillfully woven waistband(Q) is to be like it—of one piece with the ephod and made with gold, and with blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and with finely twisted linen.
9 “Take two onyx stones and engrave(R) on them the names of the sons of Israel 10 in the order of their birth—six names on one stone and the remaining six on the other. 11 Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the way a gem cutter engraves a seal. Then mount the stones in gold filigree settings 12 and fasten them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. Aaron is to bear the names on his shoulders(S) as a memorial(T) before the Lord. 13 Make gold filigree settings 14 and two braided chains of pure gold, like a rope, and attach the chains to the settings.
The Breastpiece(U)
15 “Fashion a breastpiece(V) for making decisions—the work of skilled hands. Make it like the ephod: of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen. 16 It is to be square—a span[a] long and a span wide—and folded double. 17 Then mount four rows of precious stones(W) on it. The first row shall be carnelian, chrysolite(X) and beryl; 18 the second row shall be turquoise, lapis lazuli and emerald; 19 the third row shall be jacinth, agate and amethyst; 20 the fourth row shall be topaz, onyx and jasper.[b] Mount them in gold filigree settings. 21 There are to be twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel,(Y) each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.(Z)
22 “For the breastpiece make braided chains of pure gold, like a rope. 23 Make two gold rings for it and fasten them to two corners of the breastpiece. 24 Fasten the two gold chains to the rings at the corners of the breastpiece, 25 and the other ends of the chains to the two settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front. 26 Make two gold rings and attach them to the other two corners of the breastpiece on the inside edge next to the ephod. 27 Make two more gold rings and attach them to the bottom of the shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod, close to the seam just above the waistband of the ephod. 28 The rings of the breastpiece are to be tied to the rings of the ephod with blue cord, connecting it to the waistband, so that the breastpiece will not swing out from the ephod.
29 “Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place,(AA) he will bear the names of the sons of Israel over his heart on the breastpiece of decision as a continuing memorial before the Lord. 30 Also put the Urim and the Thummim(AB) in the breastpiece, so they may be over Aaron’s heart whenever he enters the presence of the Lord. Thus Aaron will always bear the means of making decisions for the Israelites over his heart before the Lord.
Other Priestly Garments(AC)
31 “Make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth, 32 with an opening for the head in its center. There shall be a woven edge like a collar[c] around this opening, so that it will not tear. 33 Make pomegranates(AD) of blue, purple and scarlet yarn around the hem of the robe, with gold bells between them. 34 The gold bells and the pomegranates are to alternate around the hem of the robe. 35 Aaron must wear it when he ministers. The sound of the bells will be heard when he enters the Holy Place before the Lord and when he comes out, so that he will not die.
36 “Make a plate(AE) of pure gold and engrave on it as on a seal: holy to the Lord.(AF) 37 Fasten a blue cord to it to attach it to the turban; it is to be on the front of the turban. 38 It will be on Aaron’s forehead, and he will bear the guilt(AG) involved in the sacred gifts the Israelites consecrate, whatever their gifts may be. It will be on Aaron’s forehead continually so that they will be acceptable(AH) to the Lord.
39 “Weave the tunic(AI) of fine linen and make the turban(AJ) of fine linen. The sash is to be the work of an embroiderer. 40 Make tunics, sashes and caps for Aaron’s sons(AK) to give them dignity and honor.(AL) 41 After you put these clothes(AM) on your brother Aaron and his sons, anoint(AN) and ordain them. Consecrate them so they may serve me as priests.(AO)
42 “Make linen undergarments(AP) as a covering for the body, reaching from the waist to the thigh. 43 Aaron and his sons must wear them whenever they enter the tent of meeting(AQ) or approach the altar to minister in the Holy Place,(AR) so that they will not incur guilt and die.(AS)
“This is to be a lasting ordinance(AT) for Aaron and his descendants.
