“ Have Aaron your brother brought to you from among the Israelites, along with his sons Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, so they may serve me as priests.Make sacred garments for your brother Aaron to give him dignity and honor.Tell all the skilled workers to whom I have given wisdom in such matters that they are to make garments for Aaron, for his consecration, so he may serve me as priest.These are the garments they are to make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a woven tunic, a turban and a sash. They are to make these sacred garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so they may serve me as priests.Have them use gold, and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.“ Make the ephod of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen— the work of skilled hands.It is to have two shoulder pieces attached to two of its corners, so it can be fastened.Its skillfully woven waistband is to be like it— of one piece with the ephod and made with gold, and with blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and with finely twisted linen.“ Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israelin the order of their birth— six names on one stone and the remaining six on the other.Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the way a gem cutter engraves a seal. Then mount the stones in gold filigree settingsand fasten them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. Aaron is to bear the names on his shoulders as a memorial before the Lord.Make gold filigree settingsand two braided chains of pure gold, like a rope, and attach the chains to the settings. (niv)
