Exodus 28:31-43
Legacy Standard Bible
31 “(A)You shall make the robe of the ephod entirely of [a]blue. 32 There shall be an opening [b]at its top in the middle of it; around the edge of its opening there shall be 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 purple and scarlet material, all around on 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 [c]when he ministers; and its sound shall be heard when he comes into the holy place before Yahweh and when he goes out, so that he will not die.
36 “You shall also make (B)a plate of pure gold and shall engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet, ‘(C)Holy to Yahweh.’ 37 You shall [d]fasten it on a [e]blue cord, and it shall be on the turban; it shall be at the front of the turban. 38 It shall be on Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron shall [f](D)take away the iniquity of the holy things which the sons of Israel set apart as holy, with regard to all their holy gifts; and it shall continually be on his forehead, that (E)they may be accepted before Yahweh.
39 “You shall weave (F)the tunic of checkered work of fine linen, and you shall make a turban of fine linen, and you shall make a sash, the work of a [g]weaver.
40 “For Aaron’s sons you shall make (G)tunics; you shall also make sashes for them, and you shall make [h](H)caps for them, for glory and for beauty. 41 You shall put them on Aaron your brother and on his sons with him; and you shall (I)anoint them and [i]ordain them and set them apart as holy, that they may minister to Me as priests. 42 You shall make for them (J)linen undergarments to cover their bare flesh; they shall [j]reach from the loins even to the thighs. 43 They shall be on Aaron and on his sons when they come into the tent of meeting or (K)when they approach the altar to minister in the holy place, so that they do not incur [k]guilt and die. (L)It shall be a perpetual statute to him and to his seed after him.

New Living Translation
Additional Clothing for the Priests
31 “Make the robe that is worn with the ephod from a single piece of blue cloth, 32 with an opening for Aaron’s head in the middle of it. Reinforce the opening with a woven collar[a] so it will not tear. 33 Make pomegranates out of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and attach them to the hem of the robe, with gold bells between them. 34 The gold bells and pomegranates are to alternate all around the hem. 35 Aaron will wear this robe whenever he ministers before the Lord, and the bells will tinkle as he goes in and out of the Lord’s presence in the Holy Place. If he wears it, he will not die.
36 “Next make a medallion of pure gold, and engrave it like a seal with these words: Holy to the lord. 37 Attach the medallion with a blue cord to the front of Aaron’s turban, where it must remain. 38 Aaron must wear it on his forehead so he may take on himself any guilt of the people of Israel when they consecrate their sacred offerings. He must always wear it on his forehead so the Lord will accept the people.
39 “Weave Aaron’s patterned tunic from fine linen cloth. Fashion the turban from this linen as well. Also make a sash, and decorate it with colorful embroidery.
40 “For Aaron’s sons, make tunics, sashes, and special head coverings that are glorious and beautiful. 41 Clothe your brother, Aaron, and his sons with these garments, and then anoint and ordain them. Consecrate them so they can serve as my priests. 42 Also make linen undergarments for them, to be worn next to their bodies, reaching from their hips to their thighs. 43 These must be worn whenever Aaron and his sons enter the Tabernacle[b] or approach the altar in the Holy Place to perform their priestly duties. Then they will not incur guilt and die. This is a permanent law for Aaron and all his descendants after him.
