Exod 28
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Îmbrăcămintea preoţească
28 Apropie de tine pe fratele tău, Aaron,(A) şi pe fiii săi şi ia-i dintre copiii lui Israel şi pune-i deoparte în slujba Mea ca preoţi: pe Aaron şi pe fiii lui Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar şi Itamar. 2 Fratelui(B) tău, Aaron, să-i faci haine sfinte, ca să-i slujească de cinste şi podoabă. 3 Vorbeşte(C) cu toţi cei destoinici, cărora(D) le-am dat un duh de pricepere, să facă veşmintele lui Aaron ca să fie sfinţit şi să-Mi împlinească slujbă de preot. 4 Iată veşmintele pe care le vor face: un(E) pieptar(F), un efod, o(G) mantie, o tunică(H) lucrată la gherghef, o mitră şi un brâu. Să facă fratelui tău, Aaron, şi fiilor săi veşminte sfinte, ca să-Mi împlinească slujba de preot. 5 Să întrebuinţeze aur, materii vopsite în albastru, în purpuriu, în cărămiziu şi in subţire.
Efodul şi brâul
6 Efodul(I) să-l facă din aur, din fir albastru, purpuriu şi cărămiziu şi din in subţire răsucit; să fie lucrat cu măiestrie. 7 Să aibă doi umerari uniţi cu el; la cele două capete ale lui, să fie legat de ei. 8 Brâul să fie de aceeaşi lucrătură ca efodul şi prins pe el; să fie de aur, de fir albastru, purpuriu şi cărămiziu şi de in subţire răsucit. 9 Să iei apoi două pietre de onix şi să sapi pe ele numele fiilor lui Israel: 10 şase din numele lor pe o piatră şi alte şase pe a doua piatră, după şirul naşterilor. 11 Pe cele două pietre să sapi numele fiilor lui Israel, cum se face săpătura pe pietre şi pe peceţi; să le legi într-o ferecătură de aur. 12 Amândouă aceste pietre să le pui pe umerarii efodului, ca aducere-aminte de fiii lui Israel, şi Aaron(J) le va purta numele înaintea Domnului, pe cei doi umeri ai lui, ca(K) aducere-aminte de ei. 13 Să faci apoi nişte ferecături de aur 14 şi două lănţişoare de aur curat, pe care să le împleteşti în chip de sfori, şi lanţurile acestea, împletite astfel, să le pui în ferecături.
Pieptarul
15 Să faci(L) apoi pieptarul judecăţii, lucrat cu măiestrie, să-l faci din aceeaşi lucrătură ca efodul; să-l faci din aur, din fir albastru, purpuriu şi cărămiziu şi din in subţire răsucit. 16 Să fie în patru colţuri şi îndoit; lungimea lui să fie de o palmă şi lăţimea, tot de o palmă. 17 În el să(M) ţeşi o ţesătură de pietre, şi anume patru rânduri de pietre: în rândul întâi, un sardonix, un topaz şi un smaragd; 18 în al doilea rând, un rubin, un safir şi un diamant; 19 în al treilea rând, un opal, un agat şi un ametist; 20 în al patrulea rând, un hrisolit, un onix şi un iaspis. Aceste pietre să fie legate în ferecătura lor de aur. 21 Să fie douăsprezece, după numele fiilor lui Israel, săpate ca nişte peceţi, fiecare cu numele uneia din cele douăsprezece seminţii. 22 Pentru pieptar să faci nişte lănţişoare de aur curat, împletite ca nişte sfori. 23 Să faci pentru pieptar două verigi de aur, şi aceste două verigi de aur să le pui la cele două capete ale pieptarului. 24 Cele două lanţuri de aur împletite să le prinzi de cele două verigi de la cele două capete ale pieptarului. 25 Iar celelalte două capete ale celor două lanţuri împletite să le prinzi de cele două ferecături şi să le pui peste umerarii efodului, în partea dinainte. 26 Să mai faci două verigi de aur şi să le pui la celelalte două capete de jos ale pieptarului, pe marginea dinăuntru care este îndreptată spre efod. 27 Şi să mai faci alte două verigi de aur, pe care să le pui jos la cei doi umerari ai efodului pe partea dinainte a lui, tocmai acolo unde se îmbucă efodul cu umerarii, deasupra brâului efodului. 28 Pieptarul cu verigile lui să-l lege de verigile efodului cu o sfoară albastră, pentru ca pieptarul să stea ţeapăn deasupra brâului efodului şi să nu poată să se mişte de pe efod. 29 Când va intra Aaron în Sfântul Locaş, va purta pe inima lui numele fiilor lui Israel, săpate pe pieptarul judecăţii, ca să păstreze totdeauna(N) aducerea-aminte de ei înaintea Domnului. 30 Să pui(O) în pieptarul judecăţii Urim şi Tumim[a], care să fie pe inima lui Aaron când se va înfăţişa el înaintea Domnului. Astfel, Aaron va purta necurmat pe inima lui judecata copiilor lui Israel când se va înfăţişa înaintea Domnului.
Mantia albastră
31 Mantia de sub efod s-o(P) faci întreagă de materie albastră. 32 La mijloc, să aibă o gură pentru intrarea capului şi gura aceasta să aibă de jur împrejur o tivitură ţesută, ca gura unei platoşe, ca să nu se rupă. 33 Pe margine, de jur împrejurul tiviturii, să pui nişte rodii de culoare albastră, purpurie şi cărămizie, presărate cu clopoţei de aur: 34 un clopoţel de aur şi o rodie, un clopoţel de aur şi o rodie, pe toată marginea mantiei, de jur împrejur. 35 Aaron se va îmbrăca cu ea ca să facă slujba; când va intra în Locaşul Sfânt înaintea Domnului, şi când va ieşi din el, se va auzi sunetul clopoţeilor, aşa că el nu va muri.
Tabla de aur, tunica, mitra şi brâul
36 Să faci(Q) şi o tablă de aur curat şi să sapi pe ea, cum se sapă pe o pecete: „Sfinţenie Domnului”. 37 S-o legi cu o sfoară albastră de mitră, în partea dinainte a mitrei. 38 Ea să fie pe fruntea lui Aaron şi Aaron va(R) purta fărădelegile săvârşite de copiii lui Israel când îşi aduc toate darurile lor sfinte; ea va fi necurmat pe fruntea lui înaintea Domnului, pentru ca ei să fie plăcuţi(S) înaintea Lui. 39 Tunica s-o faci de in subţire; să faci o mitră de in subţire şi să faci un brâu lucrat la gherghef. 40 Fiilor lui Aaron să le(T) faci tunici, să le faci brâne şi să le faci scufii, spre cinste şi podoabă. 41 Să îmbraci cu ele pe fratele tău Aaron şi pe fiii lui împreună cu el. Să-i ungi(U), să-i închini(V) în slujbă, să-i sfinţeşti, şi-Mi vor sluji ca preoţi. 42 Fă-le izmene(W) de in, ca să-şi acopere goliciunea, de la brâu până la glezne. 43 Aaron şi fiii lui le vor purta când vor intra în cortul întâlnirii sau când se vor apropia de altar(X), ca să facă slujba în Locaşul Sfânt; astfel ei nu se vor face vinovaţi(Y) şi nu vor muri. Aceasta(Z) este o lege veşnică pentru Aaron şi pentru urmaşii lui după el.

Exodus 28
New King James Version
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. 2 And (F)you shall make [a]holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty. 3 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. 4 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
5 “They shall take the gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and the fine linen, 6 (N)and they shall make the ephod of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, artistically worked. 7 It shall have two shoulder straps joined at its two edges, and so it shall be joined together. 8 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.
9 “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.
