14. The names of the sons of Israel were carved on these 12 jewels as a person carves a seal. Each jewel had the name of 1 of the 12 tribes of Israel.
15. They made chains of pure gold for the chest covering. They were twisted together like a rope.
16. The workers made two gold pieces and two gold rings. They put the two gold rings on the two upper corners of the chest covering.
17. Then they put two gold chains in the two rings. These are at the ends of the chest covering.
18. They fastened the other two ends of the chains to the two gold pieces. Then they attached these gold pieces to the two shoulder straps in the front of the holy vest.
19. They made two more gold rings and put them at the lower corners of the chest covering. They put them on the inside edge next to the holy vest.
20. Then they made two more gold rings on the bottom of the shoulder straps in front of the holy vest. These rings were near the seam, just above the woven belt of the holy vest.
21. They used a blue ribbon and tied the rings of the chest covering to the rings of the holy vest. This connected it to the woven belt. In this way the chest covering would not swing out from the holy vest. They did all these things the way the Lord commanded.
22. Then they made the outer robe to be worn under the holy vest. It was woven of blue cloth.
23. They made a hole in the center of the outer robe. A woven collar was sewn around this hole so it would not tear.
24. Then they made balls like pomegranates of blue, purple and red thread, and fine linen. They hung them around the bottom of the outer robe.
25. They also made bells of pure gold. They hung these around the bottom of the outer robe between the balls.
26. So around the bottom of the outer robe there was a bell and a pomegranate ball, a bell and a pomegranate ball. The priest wore this outer robe when he served as priest, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
27. They wove inner robes of fine linen for Aaron and his sons.
28. And they made turbans and underclothes of fine linen.
29. Then they made the cloth belt of fine linen and blue, purple and red thread. Designs were sewn onto the cloth. These things were made as the Lord had commanded Moses.
30. They made a strip of pure gold, which is the holy crown. They carved these words in the gold: “Holy to the Lord.” They did it as one might carve on a seal.
