chapter 28
1
Take
unto thee also Aaron thy brother with his sons, from among the children of
Israel, that they may minister to me in the priest's office: Aaron, Nadab, and
Abiu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2 And thou shalt make a holy vesture for Aaron thy
brother for glory and for beauty.
3 And thou shalt speak to all the wise of heart, whom I
have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's vestments, in
which he being consecrated may minister to me.
4 And these shall be the vestments that they shall make:
A rational and an ephod, a tunick and a strait linen garment, a mitre and a
girdle. They shall make the holy vestments for thy brother Aaron and his sons,
that they may do the office of priesthood unto me.
5 And they shall take gold, and violet, and purple, and
scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen.
6 And they shall make the ephod of gold, and violet,
and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen, embroidered with
divers colours.
7 It shall have the two edges joined in the top on both
sides, that they may be closed together.
8 The very workmanship also and all the variety of the
work shall be of gold, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine
twisted linen.
9 And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and shalt grave
on them the names of the children of Israel:
10 Six names on one stone, and the other six on the
other, according to the order of their birth.
11 With the work of an engraver and the graving of a
jeweller, thou shalt engrave them with the names of the children of Israel, set
in gold and compassed about:
12 And thou shalt put them in both sides of the ephod,
a memorial for the children of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before
the Lord upon both shoulders, for a remembrance.
13 Thou shalt make also hooks of gold.
14 And two little chains of the purest gold linked one
to another, which thou shalt put into the hooks.
15 And thou shalt make the rational of judgment with
embroidered work of divers colours, according to the workmanship of the ephod,
of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.
16 It shall be foursquare and doubled: it shall be the
measure of a span both in length and in breadth.
17 And thou shalt set in it four rows of stones: in the
first row shall be a sardius stone, and a topaz, and an emerald:
18 In the second a carbuncle, a sapphire and a jasper.
19 In the third a ligurius, an agate, and an amethyst:
20 In the fourth a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl.
They shall be set in gold by their rows.
21 And they shall have the names of the children of
Israel: with twelve names shall they be engraved, each stone with the name of
one according to the twelve tribes.
22 And thou shalt make on the rational chains linked
one to another of the purest gold:
23 And two rings of gold, which thou shalt put in the
two ends at the top of the rational.
24 And the golden chains thou shalt join to the rings,
that are in the ends thereof:
25 And the ends of the chains themselves thou shalt
join together with two hooks on both sides of the ephod, which is towards the
rational.
26 Thou shalt make also two rings of gold which thou
shalt put in the top parts of the rational, in the borders that are over
against the ephod, and look towards the back parts thereof.
27 Moreover also other two rings of gold, which are to
be set on each side of the ephod beneath, that looketh towards the nether
joining, that the rational may be fitted with the ephod,
28 And may be fastened by the rings thereof unto the
rings of the ephod with a violet fillet, that the joining artificially wrought
may continue, and the rational and the ephod may not be loosed one from the
other.
29 And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of
Israel in the rational of judgement upon his breast, when he shall enter into
the sanctuary, a memorial before the Lord for ever.
30 And thou shalt put in the rational of judgment
doctrine and truth, which shall be on Aaron's breast, when he shall go in
before the Lord: and he shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel on
his breast, in the sight of the Lord always.
31 And thou shalt make the tunick of the ephod all of
violet,
32 In the midst whereof above shall be a hole for the
head, and a border round about it woven, as is wont to be made in the outmost
parts of garments, that it may not easily be broken.
33 And beneath at the feet of the same tunick round
about, thou shalt make as it were pomegranates, of violet, and purple, and
scarlet twice dyed, with little bells set between:
34 So that there shall be a golden bell and a
pomegranate, and again another golden bell and a pomegranate.
35 And Aaron shall be vested with it in the office of
his ministry, that the sound may be heard, when he goeth in and cometh out of
the sanctuary, in the sight of the Lord, and that he may not die.
36 Thou shalt make also a plate of the purest gold:
wherein thou shalt grave with engraver's work, Holy to the Lord.
37 And thou shalt tie it with a violet fillet, and it
shall be upon the mitre,
38 Hanging over the forehead of the high priest. And
Aaron shall bear the iniquities of those things, which the children of Israel
have offered and sanctified, in all their gifts and offerings. And the plate
shall be always on his forehead, that the Lord may be well pleased with them.
39 And thou shalt gird the tunick with fine linen, and
thou shalt make a fine linen mitre, and a girdle of embroidered work.
40 Moreover for the sons of Aaron thou shalt prepare
linen tunicks, and girdles and mitres for glory and beauty:
41 And with all these things thou shalt vest Aaron thy
brother, and his sons with him. And thou shalt consecrate the hands of them
all, and shalt sanctify them, that they may do the office of priesthood unto
me.
42 Thou shalt make also linen breeches, to cover the
flesh of their nakedness from the reins to the thighs:
42 And Aaron and his sons shall use them when they
shall go in to the tabernacle of the testimony, or when they approach the altar
to minister in the sanctuary, lest being guilty of iniquity they die. It shall
be a law for ever to Aaron, and to his seed after him.
