27. and two more near the bottom of the shoulder straps just above the sash.
28. Then take a blue cord and tie the two lower rings on the breastpiece to those on the apron. This will keep the breastpiece in place.
29. In this way Aaron will have the names of the twelve tribes of Israel written on his heart each time he enters the holy place, and I will never forget my people.
30. He must also wear on his breastpiece the two small objects that he uses to receive answers from me.
31. Under his apron Aaron must wear a robe of blue wool
32. with an opening in the centre for his head. Be sure to bind the material around the collar to keep it from fraying.
33-34. Along the hem of the robe weave pomegranates of blue, purple, and red wool with a gold bell between each of them.
35. If Aaron wears these clothes when he enters the holy place as my high priest, the sound of the bells will be heard, and his life will not be in danger.
36. On a narrow strip of pure gold engrave the words: “Dedicated to the Lord”.
37. Fasten it to the front of Aaron's turban with a blue cord,
38. so he can wear it on his forehead. This will show that he will take on himself the guilt for any sins the people of Israel commit in offering their gifts to me, and I will forgive them.
39. Make Aaron's robe and turban of fine linen and decorate his sash with fine needlework.
40. Since Aaron's sons are priests, they should also look dignified. So make robes, sashes, and special caps for them.
