28:1 And do thou take to thyself both Aaron
thy brother, and his sons, even [them] of the children of Israel; so that
Aaron, and Nadab and Abiud, and Eleazar and Ithamar, sons of Aaron, may
minister to me.
28:2 And thou shalt make holy apparel for Aaron thy brother, for honour and
glory.
28:3 And speak thou to all those who are wise in understanding, whom I have
filled with the spirit of wisdom and perception; and they shall make the
holy apparel of Aaron for the sanctuary, in which [apparel] he shall
minister to me as priest.
28:4 And these are the garments which they shall make: the breast-plate, and
the shoulder-piece, and the full-length robe, and the tunic with a fringe,
and the tire, and the girdle; and they shall make holy garments for Aaron
and his sons to minister to me as priests.
28:5 And they shall take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the
scarlet, and the fine linen.
28:6 And they shall make the shoulder-piece of fine linen spun, the woven
work of the embroiderer.
28:7 It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined together, fastened on the two
sides.
28:8 And the woven work of the shoulder-pieces which is upon it, shall be of
one piece according to the work, of pure gold and blue and purple, and spun
scarlet and fine twined linen.
28:9 And thou shalt take the two stones, the stones of emerald, and thou
shalt grave on them the names of the children of Israel.
28:10 Six names on the first stone, and the other six names on the second
stone, according to their births.
28:11 [It shall be] the work of the stone-engraver's art; as the graving of
a seal thou shalt engrave the two stones with the names of the children of
Israel.
28:12 And thou shalt put the two stones on the shoulders of the
shoulder-piece: they are memorial-stones for the children of Israel: and
Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel before Yehovah on his
two shoulders, a memorial for them.
28:13 And thou shalt make circlets of pure gold;
28:14 and thou shalt make two fringes of pure gold, variegated with flowers
wreathen work; and thou shalt put the wreathen fringes on the circlets,
fastening them on their shoulder-pieces in front.
28:15 And thou shalt make the oracle of judgment, the work of the
embroiderer: in keeping with the ephod, thou shalt make it of gold, and blue
and purple, and spun scarlet, and fine linen spun.
28:16 Thou shalt make it square: it shall be double; of a span the length of
it, and of a span the breadth.
28:17 And thou shalt interweave with it a texture of four rows of stone;
there shall be a row of stones, a sardius, a topaz, and emerald, the first
row.
28:18 And the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a jasper.
28:19 And the third row, a ligure, an agate, an amethyst:
28:20 and the fourth row, a chrysolite, and a beryl, and an onyx stone, set
round with gold, bound together with gold: let them be according to their
row.
28:21 And let the stones of the names of the children of Israel be twelve
according to their names, engravings as of seals: let them be for the twelve
tribes each according to the name.
28:22 And thou shalt make on the oracle woven fringes, a chain-work of pure
gold.
28:23
28:24
28:25
28:26
28:27
28:28
28:29 And Aaron shall take the names of the children of Israel, on the
oracle of judgment on his breast; a memorial before Elohim for him as he goes
into the sanctuary. And thou shalt put the fringes on the oracle of
judgment; thou shalt put the wreaths on both sides of the oracle, and thou
shalt put the two circlets on both the shoulders of the ephod in front.
28:30 And thou shalt put the Manifestation and the Truth on the oracle of
judgment; and it shall be on the breast of Aaron, when he goes into the holy
place before Yehovah; and Aaron shall bear the judgments of the children of
Israel on his breast before Yehovah continually.
28:31 And thou shalt make the full-length tunic all of blue.
28:32 And the opening of it shall be in the middle having a fringe round
about the opening, the work of the weaver, woven together in the joining of
the same piece that it might not be rent.
28:33 And under the fringe of the robe below thou shalt make as it were
pomegranates of a flowering pomegranate tree, of blue, and purple, and spun
scarlet, and fine linen spun, under the fringe of the robe round about:
golden pomegranates of the same shape, and bells round about between these.
28:34 A bell by the side of a golden pomegranate, and flower-work on the
fringe of the robe round about.
28:35 And the sound of Aaron shall be audible when he ministers, as he goes
into the sanctuary before Yehovah, and has he goes out, that he die not.
28:36 And thou shalt make a plate [of] pure gold, and thou shalt grave on it
[as] the graving of a signet, Holiness of Yehovah.
28:37 And thou shalt put it on the spun blue cloth, and it shall be on the
mitre: it shall be in the front of the mitre.
28:38 And it shall be on the forehead of Aaron; and Aaron shall bear away
the sins of their holy things, all that te children of Israel shall sanctify
of every gift of their holy things, and it shall be on the forehead of Aaron
continually acceptable for them before Yehovah.
28:39 And the fringes of the garments [shall be] of fine linen; and thou
shalt make a tire of fine linen, and thou shalt make a girdle, the work of
the embroiderer.
28:40 And for the sons of Aaron thou shalt make tunics and girdles, and thou
shalt make for them tires for honour and glory.
28:41 And thou shalt put them on Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him,
and thou shalt anoint them and fill their hands: and thou shalt sanctify
them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.
28:42 And thou shalt make for them linen drawers to cover the nakedness of
their flesh; they shall reach from the loins to the thighs.
28:43 And Aaron shall have them, and his sons, whenever they enter into the
tabernacle of witness, or when they shall advance to the altar of the
sanctuary to minister, so they shall not bring sin upon themselves, lest
they die: [it is] a perpetual statute for him, and for his seed after him. |
28:1 And take thou unto thee Aaron thy
brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he
may minister unto me in the priest's office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu,
Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.
28:2 And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and
for beauty.
28:3 And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise hearted, whom I have filled
with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to consecrate
him, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
28:4 And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an
ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they
shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may
minister unto me in the priest's office.
28:5 And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine
linen.
28:6 And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of
scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work.
28:7 It shall have the two shoulderpieces thereof joined at the two edges
thereof; and so it shall be joined together.
28:8 And the curious girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the
same, according to the work thereof; even of gold, of blue, and purple, and
scarlet, and fine twined linen.
28:9 And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the
children of Israel:
28:10 Six of their names on one stone, and the other six names of the rest
on the other stone, according to their birth.
28:11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a
signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of
Israel: thou shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold.
28:12 And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod for
stones of memorial unto the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their
names before Yehovah upon his two shoulders for a memorial.
28:13 And thou shalt make ouches of gold;
28:14 And two chains of pure gold at the ends; of wreathed work shalt thou
make them, and fasten the wreathed chains to the ouches.
28:15 And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work;
after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and of
purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twined linen, shalt thou make it.
28:16 Foursquare it shall be being doubled; a span shall be the length
thereof, and a span shall be the breadth thereof.
28:17 And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones:
the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this shall be
the first row.
28:18 And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
28:19 And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
28:20 And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be
set in gold in their inclosings.
28:21 And the stones shall be with the names of the children of Israel,
twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet; every one
with his name shall they be according to the twelve tribes.
28:22 And thou shalt make upon the breastplate chains at the ends of
wreathed work of pure gold.
28:23 And thou shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt
put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
28:24 And thou shalt put the two wreathed chains of gold in the two rings
which are on the ends of the breastplate.
28:25 And the other two ends of the two wreathed chains thou shalt fasten in
the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod before it.
28:26 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them upon
the two ends of the breastplate in the border thereof, which is in the side
of the ephod inward.
28:27 And two other rings of gold thou shalt make, and shalt put them on the
two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart thereof, over against
the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.
28:28 And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the
rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the curious
girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.
28:29 And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the
breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy
place, for a memorial before Yehovah continually.
28:30 And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the
Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron's heart, when he goeth in before the
Yehovah: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his
heart before Yehovah continually.
28:31 And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue.
28:32 And there shall be an hole in the top of it, in the midst thereof: it
shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were
the hole of an habergeon, that it be not rent.
28:33 And beneath upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue,
and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the hem thereof; and bells of
gold between them round about:
28:34 A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon
the hem of the robe round about.
28:35 And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard
when he goeth in unto the holy place before Yehovah, and when he cometh
out, that he die not.
28:36 And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the
engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE Yehovah.
28:37 And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon the mitre;
upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.
28:38 And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may bear the
iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in
all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they
may be accepted before Yehovah.
28:39 And thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen, and thou shalt make
the mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make the girdle of needlework.
28:40 And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make coats, and thou shalt make for
them girdles, and bonnets shalt thou make for them, for glory and for
beauty.
28:41 And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him;
and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may
minister unto me in the priest's office.
28:42 And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from
the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach:
28:43 And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come in
unto the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near unto the
altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die:
it shall be a statute for ever unto him and his seed after him. |
