1. Summon to you your brother Aaron and his sons from among the Israelites to serve me as priests—Aaron and Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, and Eleazar and Ithamar.
2. Make holy clothing that will give honor and dignity to your brother Aaron.
3. Tell all who are skilled, to whom I have given special abilities, to make clothing for Aaron for his dedication to serve me as a priest.
4. These are the articles of clothing that they should make: a chest pendant, a vest, a robe, a woven tunic, a turban, and a sash. When they make this holy clothing for your brother Aaron and his sons to serve me as priests,
5. they should use gold, blue, purple, and deep red yarns and fine linen.
6. They should make the vest of gold, of blue, purple, and deep red yarns and of fine twisted linen with embroidered designs.
7. The vest will have two shoulder pieces attached to its two edges so that they may be joined together.
8. The vest’s belt should be attached to it and made in the same way of gold, of blue, purple, and deep red yarns and fine twisted linen.
9. Take two gemstones and engrave on them the names of Israel’s sons,
10. six names on one stone and the other six names on the other stone, in the order of their birth.
