³¹ “You are to make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue. ³² It is to have a hole for the head in the center, and a binding of woven work around the hole, as a collar, so that it may not be torn. ³³ On the hem of it you are to make pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet, all around the hem, with golden bells between them: ³⁴ one golden bell and a pomegranate, then another golden bell and a pomegranate, on the hem of the robe all around. ³⁵ It must be worn by Aaron whenever he ministers. The sound will be heard when he goes into the holy place before Adonai and when he comes out, so that he does not die.

³⁶ “Also you are to make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it, like the engravings of a seal, ‘HOLY TO Adonai.’ ³⁷ Attach it with a violet cord onto the turban, on the front of the turban. ³⁸ So it will rest on Aaron’s forehead, so that Aaron will bear away the iniquity committed regarding the holy things, which Bnei-Yisrael set apart as all their holy gifts. It is to be always on his forehead, so that they may have favor before Adonai.

³⁹ “You are to weave the tunic in checkered work of fine linen, make a turban of fine linen, and make a sash, the work of a color weaver. ⁴⁰ For Aaron’s sons you are to make tunics, sashes and headwear for them—for splendor and for beauty. ⁴¹ Put them on Aaron your brother and on his sons with him, and anoint them, consecrate them, and sanctify them, so that they may minister to Me as kohanim.

⁴² “You are to make linen undergarments for them, to cover the skin of their nakedness, from the hips to the thighs. ⁴³ They are to be worn by Aaron and his sons when they go into the Tent of Meeting or when they approach the altar to minister in the holy place, so that they do not become subject to guilt and die. It is to be a statute forever, to him and to his offspring after him.
