29. So Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart when he goes into the Holy Place, to bring them in continual remembrance before the Lord.
30. In the breastplate of judgment you shall put the Urim and the Thummim [unspecified articles used when the high priest asked God's counsel for all Israel]; they shall be upon Aaron's heart when he goes in before the Lord, and Aaron shall bear the judgment (rights, judicial decisions) of the Israelites upon his heart before the Lord continually.
31. Make the robe [to be worn beneath] the ephod all of blue.
32. There shall be a hole in the center of it [to slip over the head], with a binding of woven work around the hole, like the opening in a coat of mail or a garment, that it may not fray or tear.
33. And you shall make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet [stuff] around about its skirts, with gold bells between them;
34. A gold bell and a pomegranate, a gold bell and a pomegranate, round about on the skirts of the robe.
35. Aaron shall wear the robe when he ministers, and its sound shall be heard when he goes [alone] into the Holy of Holies before the Lord and when he comes out, lest he die there.
36. And you shall make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it, like the engravings of a signet, holy to the lord. [Exod. 39:30.]
37. You shall fasten it on the front of the turban with a blue cord.
38. It shall be upon Aaron's forehead, that Aaron may take upon himself and bear [any] iniquity [connected with] the holy things which the Israelites shall give and dedicate; and it shall always be upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the Lord [in the priest's person]. [Luke 24:44; Heb. 8:1, 2.]
39. And you shall weave the long and sleeved tunic of checkerwork of fine linen or silk and make a turban of fine linen or silk; and you shall make a girdle, the work of the embroiderer.
40. For Aaron's sons you shall make long and sleeved tunics and belts or sashes and caps, for glory and honor and beauty.
41. And you shall put them on Aaron your brother and his sons with him, and shall anoint them and ordain and sanctify them [set them apart for God], that they may serve Me as priests.
42. You shall make for them [white] linen trunks to cover their naked flesh, reaching from the waist to the thighs.
43. And they shall be on Aaron and his sons when they go into the Tent of Meeting or when they come near to the altar to minister in the Holy Place, lest they bring iniquity upon themselves and die; it shall be a statute forever to Aaron and to his descendants after him.
