  • 2. And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty.
  • 3. And thou shalt speak unto all {cf15I that are} wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
  • 4. And these {cf15I are} the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
  • 5. And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.

  • 8. And the curious girdle of the ephod, which {cf15I is} upon it, shall be of the same, according to the work thereof; {cf15I even of} gold, {cf15I of} blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
  • 9. And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel:
  • 10. Six of their names on one stone, and {cf15I the other} six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.
  • 11. With the work of an engraver in stone, {cf15I like} the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel: thou shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold.

  • 15. And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; {cf15I of} gold, {cf15I of} blue, and {cf15I of} purple, and {cf15I of} scarlet, and {cf15I of} fine twined linen, shalt thou make it.
  • 16. Foursquare it shall be {cf15I being} doubled; a span {cf15I shall be} the length thereof, and a span {cf15I shall be} the breadth thereof.
  • 17. And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, {cf15I even} four rows of stones: {cf15I the first} row {cf15I shall be} a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: {cf15I this shall be} the first row.
  • 18. And the second row {cf15I shall be} an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
  • 19. And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.

  • 32. And there shall be an hole in the top of it, in the midst thereof: it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of an habergeon, that it be not rent.
  • 33. And {cf15I beneath} upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates {cf15I of} blue, and {cf15I of} purple, and {cf15I of} scarlet, round about the hem thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:
  • 34. A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about.
