Exodus 28

¹And thou shalt take thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may serve me as priest — Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.

²And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for glory and for ornament.

³And thou shalt speak with all [that are] wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to hallow him, that he may serve me as priest.

⁴And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a cloak, and a checkered vest, a turban, and a girdle; and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may serve me as priest.

⁵And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus,

⁶and shall make the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, scarlet and twined byssus, of artistic work.

⁷It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined at the two ends thereof, where it is joined together.

⁸And the girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according to its work of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet and twined byssus.

⁹And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel:

¹⁰six of their names on the one stone, and the six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.

¹¹According to the work of an engraver in stone, as the engravings of a seal, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel; surrounded by enclosures of gold shalt thou make them.
