1 "Summon your brother Aaron and his sons, Nadab, Abihu, Elezar, and Itheamar. Separate them from the people of Israel, so that they may serve me as priests. 2 Make priestly garmaents for your brothr Aaron, to provide him with dignity and beauty. 3 Call all the skilled workers to whom I have given ability, and tell them to make Aaron's clothes, so that he may be dedicated as a priest in my service. 4 Tell them to make a breastpiece, an ephod, an embroidered shirt, a turban, and a sash. They are to make these priestly garmants for your brother Aaron and his sons, so that they can servr me as priests. 5 The skilled workers are to use blue, purple, and red wool, gold thread, and fine linen.
6 "They are to make the ephod of blue, purple, and red wool, gold thread, and fine linen, decorated with embroidery. 7 Two shoulder straps, by which it can be fastened, are to be attached to the sides. 8 A finely woven belt made of the same materials is to be attached to the ephod so as to form one piece with it. 9 Take two carnelian stones and engrave on them the names of the twelve sons of Jacob, 10 in the order of their birth, with six on one stone and six on the other. 11 Have a skillful jeweler engrave on two stones the names the sons of Jacob, and mount the stones in gold settings. 12 Put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod to represent the twelves tribes of Israel. In this way Aaron will carry their names on his shoulders, so that I, the LORD, will always remember my people. 13 Make two gold setting 14 and two chains of pure gold twisted like cords, and attach them to the settings.
