Exodus 28:30-37 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

30. Put the Urim and Thummim inside the judgment pouch. They will be over Aaron’s heart when he goes before the Lord. So Aaron will always carry with him a way of judging for the Israelites when he is before the Lord.

31. “Make a blue robe for the ephod.

32. Make a hole in the center for the head. And sew a piece of cloth around the edge of this hole. This cloth will be like a collar that keeps the hole from tearing.

33. Use blue, purple, and red yarn to make cloth pomegranates. Hang these pomegranates around the bottom edge of the robe, and hang gold bells between the pomegranates.

34. So around the bottom edge of the robe there should be bells and pomegranates. There should be a bell following each pomegranate.

35. Aaron will wear this robe when he serves as a priest. The bells will ring as Aaron goes into the Holy Place to stand before the Lord, and the bells will ring as he leaves the Holy Place. This way Aaron will not die.

36. “Make a strip of pure gold and carve these words into the gold like the writing on a seal: holy to the lord.

37. Fasten the gold strip to a blue ribbon. Tie the blue ribbon around the turban. The gold strip should be on the front of the turban.
