Exodus 28:31-43
1599 Geneva Bible
31 ¶ And thou shalt make the robe of the Ephod altogether of blue silk.
32 And the hole for his head shall be in the midst of it, having an edge of woven work round about the collar of it: so shall it be as the collar of an habergeon, that it rent not.
33 ¶ And beneath upon the skirts thereof, thou shalt make pomegranates of blue silk, and purple, and scarlet round about the skirts thereof, and bells of gold between them round about:
34 That is, a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate round about upon the skirts of the robe.
35 So shall it be upon Aaron, when he ministereth, and his sound shall be heard when he goeth into the holy place before the Lord, and when he cometh out, and he shall not die.
36 ¶ Also thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave thereon, as signets are graven, [a]HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
37 And thou shalt put it on a blue silk lace, and it shall be upon the mitre, even upon the forefront of the mitre shall it be.
38 So shall it be upon Aaron’s forehead, that Aaron may [b]bear the iniquity of the offerings, which the children of Israel shall offer in all their holy offerings: and it shall be always upon his forehead, to make them acceptable before the Lord.
39 Likewise thou shalt embroider the fine linen coat, and thou shalt make a mitre of fine linen, but thou shalt make a girdle of needle work.
40 Also thou shalt make for Aaron’s sons coats, and thou shalt make them girdles, and bonnets shalt thou make them for glory and comeliness.
41 And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and on his sons with him, and shalt anoint them, and [c]fill their hands, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the Priest’s office.
42 Thou shalt also make them linen breeches to cover their privities: from the loins unto the thighs shall they reach.
43 And they shall be for Aaron and his sons, when they come into the Tabernacle [d]of the Congregation, or when they come unto the altar to minister in the holy place, that they [e]commit not iniquity, and so die. This shall be a law forever unto him, and to his seed after him.
