Exodus 28:24-40 Tree Of Life Version (TLV)

24. Then attach the two wreathed chains of gold on the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.

25. The other two ends of the chains you are to place on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod in front.

26. So you are to make two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it that is toward the inner side of the ephod.

27. Also make two gold rings and place them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod underneath, in the front, close to where it is joined, above the artfully woven band of the ephod.

28. Then they will bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue thread, so that it may be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and so that the breastplate will not come loose from it.

29. “Aaron will bear the names of Bnei-Yisrael in the breastplate of judgment on his heart, whenever he enters the holy place, as a continual memorial before Adonai.

30. Also put the Urim and the Thummim within the breastplate of judgment, so they will be on Aaron’s heart when he goes in before Adonai. Aaron will bear the judgment of Bnei-Yisrael on his heart before Adonai continually.

31. “You are to make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue.

32. It is to have a hole for the head in the center, and a binding of woven work around the hole, as a collar, so that it may not be torn.

33. On the hem of it you are to make pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet, all around the hem, with golden bells between them:

34. one golden bell and a pomegranate, then another golden bell and a pomegranate, on the hem of the robe all around.

35. It must be worn by Aaron whenever he ministers. The sound will be heard when he goes into the holy place before Adonai and when he comes out, so that he does not die.

36. “Also you are to make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it, like the engravings of a seal, ‘HOLY TO Adonai.’

37. Attach it with a violet cord onto the turban, on the front of the turban.

38. So it will rest on Aaron’s forehead, so that Aaron will bear away the iniquity committed regarding the holy things, which Bnei-Yisrael set apart as all their holy gifts. It is to be always on his forehead, so that they may have favor before Adonai.

39. “You are to weave the tunic in checkered work of fine linen, make a turban of fine linen, and make a sash, the work of a color weaver.

40. For Aaron’s sons you are to make tunics, sashes and headwear for them—for splendor and for beauty.
