Exodus 29:1 — Exodus 29:20

1 And this is what you shall do to them to sanctify them to serve Me as priests: take one bull of the herd and two rams without blemish,

2 And unleavened bread and unleavened cakes mingled with oil and unleavened wafers anointed with oil; you shall make them of fine wheat flour.

3 And you shall put them into one basket and present them in the basket with the bull and the two rams.

4 And you shall bring Aaron and his sons near to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, and wash them with water.

5 And you shall take the garments and clothe Aaron with the tunic and the robe of the ephod and the ephod and the breastplate, and gird him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod;

6 And you shall place the turban on his head and put the holy crown on the turban.

7 Then you shall take the anointing oil and pour it on his head and anoint him.

8 And you shall bring his sons near and put tunics on them.

9 And you shall gird them with girding sashes, Aaron and his sons, and bind high hats on them; and they shall have the priesthood by a perpetual statute. So you shall fill the hands of Aaron and his sons.

10 And you shall present the bull before the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the bull.

11 And you shall slaughter the bull before Jehovah at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

12 And you shall take some of the blood of the bull and put some of it on the horns of the altar with your finger, and all the rest of the blood you shall pour out at the base of the altar.

13 And you shall take all the fat that covers the inward parts and the appendage on the liver and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, and burn them on the altar.

14 But the flesh of the bull and its skin and its dung you shall burn with fire outside the camp; it is a sin offering.

15 And you shall also take the one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

16 And you shall slaughter the ram, and you shall take its blood and sprinkle it on and around the altar.

17 Then you shall cut the ram into its pieces and wash its inward parts and its legs, and put them with its pieces and its head.

18 And you shall burn the whole ram on the altar; it is a burnt offering to Jehovah; it is a satisfying fragrance, an offering by fire to Jehovah.

19 And you shall take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

20 Then you shall slaughter the ram and take some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron’s right ear and on the lobe of the right ear of his sons and on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the rest of the blood on and around the altar.

Exodus 28:27 — Exodus 28:43

27 And you shall make two rings of gold and shall put them on the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod on the front of it, close to the place where it is joined, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.

28 And they shall bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue strands, that it may be upon the skillfully woven band of the ephod and that the breastplate may not come loose from the ephod.

29 So Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastplate of judgment on his heart when he goes into the sanctuary, for a memorial before Jehovah continually.

30 And you shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be on Aaron’s heart when he goes in before Jehovah, and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel on his heart before Jehovah continually.

31 And you shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue strands.

32 And there shall be an opening for the head in its center; around its opening there shall be a binding edge of woven work, like the opening of a coat of mail, so that it will not be torn.

33 And you shall make on its hem pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet strands, all around its hem, and bells of gold between them all around:

34 A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, on the hem of the robe all around.

35 And it shall be upon Aaron when he ministers, and its sound shall be heard when he goes into the sanctuary before Jehovah and when he comes out, so that he may not die.

36 And you shall make a plate of pure gold and engrave upon it, like the engravings of a signet: HOLY TO JEHOVAH.

37 And you shall put it on a cord of blue strands, and it shall be on the turban; it shall be at the front of the turban.

38 And it shall be upon Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel sanctify for all their holy gifts; and it shall always be on his forehead, that they may be accepted before Jehovah.

39 And you shall weave the tunic of fine linen, and you shall make a turban of fine linen, and you shall make a girding sash, the work of an embroiderer.

40 And for Aaron’s sons you shall make tunics, and you shall make for them girding sashes, and you shall make for them high hats, for glory and for beauty.

41 And you shall put them upon Aaron your brother and upon his sons with him, and you shall anoint them and fill their hands and sanctify them, that they may serve Me as priests.

42 And you shall make them linen trousers to cover their naked flesh; they shall reach from the loins even to the thighs;

43 And they shall be upon Aaron and upon his sons when they go into the Tent of Meeting or when they come near to the altar to minister in the sanctuary, that they may not bear iniquity and die. It shall be a perpetual statute for him and for his seed after him.

Exodus 28:1 — Exodus 28:26

1 And bring near to yourself Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may serve Me as a priest – Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s sons.

2 And you shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty.

3 And you shall speak to all who are wise in heart, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron’s garments to sanctify him, that he may serve Me as a priest.

4 And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate and an ephod and a robe and a tunic of checkered work, a turban and a girding sash. So they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother and for his sons that he may serve Me as a priest.

5 They therefore shall take the gold and the blue and the purple and the scarlet strands and the fine linen,

6 And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet strands, and fine twined linen, the work of a skillful workman.

7 It shall have two shoulder pieces joined to its two edges, so that it may be joined together.

8 And the skillfully woven band, which is on it for its fastening, shall be like it in workmanship, of one piece with it; of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet strands and fine twined linen.

9 And you shall take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel,

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

11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones, according to the names of the sons of Israel; you shall make them enclosed in settings of gold.

12 And you shall put the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before Jehovah on his two shoulders for a memorial.

13 And you shall make settings of gold,

14 And two chains of pure gold; you shall make them twisted, a cordage work, and you shall put the chains of cords on the settings.

15 And you shall make a breastplate of judgment, the work of a skillful workman; like the work of the ephod you shall make it; of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet strands, and of fine twined linen you shall make it.

16 It shall be square and doubled; a span its length and a span its width.

17 And you shall enclose in it enclosures of stones, four rows of stones: the first row shall be a row of a sardius, a topaz, and an emerald;

18 And the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond;

19 And the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

20 And the fourth row, a chrysolite, and an onyx, and a jasper; they shall be set in gold in their enclosures.

21 And the stones shall be according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to their names; they shall be like the engravings of a signet, each according to its name, for the twelve tribes.

22 And you shall make on the breastplate twisted chains, a cordage work of pure gold.

23 And you shall make on the breastplate two rings of gold and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

24 And you shall put the two cords of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.

25 And you shall put the two other ends of the two cords on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front of it.

26 And you shall make two rings of gold, and you shall put them upon the two ends of the breastplate upon its edge, which is toward the ephod on the inside.
