1 Faze também vir para junto de ti Arão, teu irmão, e seus filhos com ele, dentre os filhos de Israel, para me oficiarem como sacerdotes, a saber, Arão e seus filhos Nadabe, Abiú, Eleazar e Itamar. 2 Farás vestes sagradas para Arão, teu irmão, para glória e ornamento.

3 Falarás também a todos os homens hábeis a quem enchi do espírito de sabedoria, que façam vestes para Arão para consagrá-lo, para que me ministre o ofício sacerdotal. 4 As vestes, pois, que farão são estas: um peitoral, uma estola sacerdotal, uma sobrepeliz, uma túnica bordada, mitra e cinto. Farão vestes sagradas para Arão, teu irmão, e para seus filhos, para me oficiarem como sacerdotes. 5 Tomarão ouro, estofo azul, púrpura, carmesim e linho fino 6 e farão a estola sacerdotal de ouro, e estofo azul, e púrpura, e carmesim, e linho fino retorcido, obra esmerada. 7 Terá duas ombreiras que se unam às suas duas extremidades, e assim se unirá. 8 E o cinto de obra esmerada, que estará sobre a estola sacerdotal, será de obra igual, da mesma obra de ouro, e estofo azul, e púrpura, e carmesim, e linho fino retorcido. 9 Tomarás duas pedras de ônix e gravarás nelas os nomes dos filhos de Israel: 10 seis de seus nomes numa pedra e os outros seis na outra pedra, segundo a ordem do seu nascimento. 11 Conforme a obra de lapidador, como lavores de sinete, gravarás as duas pedras com os nomes dos filhos de Israel; engastadas ao redor de ouro, as farás. 12 E porás as duas pedras nas ombreiras da estola sacerdotal, por pedras de memória aos filhos de Israel; e Arão levará os seus nomes sobre ambos os seus ombros, para memória diante do Senhor. 13 Farás também engastes de ouro 14 e duas correntes de ouro puro; obra de fieira as farás; e as correntes de fieira prenderás nos engastes.

15 Farás também o peitoral do juízo de obra esmerada, conforme a obra da estola sacerdotal o farás: de ouro, e estofo azul, e púrpura, e carmesim, e linho fino retorcido o farás. 16 Quadrado e duplo, será de um palmo o seu comprimento, e de um palmo, a sua largura. 17 Colocarás nele engaste de pedras, com quatro ordens de pedras: a ordem de sárdio, topázio e carbúnculo será a primeira ordem; 18 a segunda ordem será de esmeralda, safira e diamante; 19 a terceira ordem será de jacinto, ágata e ametista; 20 a quarta ordem será de berilo, ônix e jaspe; elas serão guarnecidas de ouro nos seus engastes. 21 As pedras serão conforme os nomes dos filhos de Israel, doze, segundo os seus nomes; serão esculpidas como sinetes, cada uma com o seu nome, para as doze tribos. 22 Para o peitoral farás correntes como cordas, de obra trançada de ouro puro. 23 Também farás para o peitoral duas argolas de ouro e porás as duas argolas nas extremidades do peitoral. 24 Então, meterás as duas correntes de ouro nas duas argolas, nas extremidades do peitoral. 25 As duas pontas das correntes prenderás nos dois engastes e as porás nas ombreiras da estola sacerdotal na frente dele. 26 Farás também duas argolas de ouro e as porás nas duas extremidades do peitoral, na sua orla interior junto à estola sacerdotal. 27 Farás também duas argolas de ouro e as porás nas duas ombreiras da estola sacerdotal, abaixo, na frente dele, perto da sua juntura, sobre o cinto de obra esmerada da estola sacerdotal. 28 E ligarão o peitoral com as suas argolas às argolas da estola sacerdotal por cima com uma fita azul, para que esteja sobre o cinto da estola sacerdotal; e nunca o peitoral se separará da estola sacerdotal. 29 Assim, Arão levará os nomes dos filhos de Israel no peitoral do juízo sobre o seu coração, quando entrar no santuário, para memória diante do Senhor continuamente.

30 Também porás no peitoral do juízo o Urim e o Tumim, para que estejam sobre o coração de Arão, quando entrar perante o Senhor; assim, Arão levará o juízo dos filhos de Israel sobre o seu coração diante do Senhor continuamente. 31 Farás também a sobrepeliz da estola sacerdotal toda de estofo azul. 32 No meio dela, haverá uma abertura para a cabeça; será debruada essa abertura, como a abertura de uma saia de malha, para que não se rompa. 33 Em toda a orla da sobrepeliz, farás romãs de estofo azul, e púrpura, e carmesim; e campainhas de ouro no meio delas. 34 Haverá em toda a orla da sobrepeliz uma campainha de ouro e uma romã, outra campainha de ouro e outra romã. 35 Esta sobrepeliz estará sobre Arão quando ministrar, para que se ouça o seu sonido, quando entrar no santuário diante do Senhor e quando sair; e isso para que não morra.

36 Farás também uma lâmina de ouro puro e nela gravarás à maneira de gravuras de sinetes: Santidade ao Senhor. 37 Atá-la-ás com um cordão de estofo azul, de maneira que esteja na mitra; bem na frente da mitra estará. 38 E estará sobre a testa de Arão, para que Arão leve a iniquidade concernente às coisas santas que os filhos de Israel consagrarem em todas as ofertas de suas coisas santas; sempre estará sobre a testa de Arão, para que eles sejam aceitos perante o Senhor.

39 Tecerás, quadriculada, a túnica de linho fino e farás uma mitra de linho fino e um cinto de obra de bordador.

40 Para os filhos de Arão farás túnicas, e cintos, e tiaras; fá-los-ás para glória e ornamento. 41 E, com isso, vestirás Arão, teu irmão, bem como seus filhos; e os ungirás, e consagrarás, e santificarás, para que me oficiem como sacerdotes. 42 Faze-lhes também calções de linho, para cobrirem a pele nua; irão da cintura às coxas. 43 E estarão sobre Arão e sobre seus filhos, quando entrarem na tenda da congregação ou quando se chegarem ao altar para ministrar no santuário, para que não levem iniquidade e morram; isto será estatuto perpétuo para ele e para sua posteridade depois dele.

1 And bring thou near unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron’s sons. 2 And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for glory and for beauty. 3 And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron’s garments to sanctify him, that he may minister unto me in the priest’s office. 4 And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of checker work, 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 the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the fine linen.

6 And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the skilful workman. 7 It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined to the two ends thereof, that it may be joined together. 8 And the skilfully woven band, which is upon it, wherewith to gird it on, shall be like the work thereof and of the same piece; of gold, 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 the one stone, and the names of the six that remain on the other stone, according to their birth. 11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones, according to the names of the children of Israel: thou shalt make them to be inclosed in settings of gold. 12 And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before Jehovah upon his two shoulders for a memorial. 13 And thou shalt make settings of gold, 14 and two chains of pure gold; like cords shalt thou make them, of wreathen work: and thou shalt put the wreathen chains on the settings.

15 And thou shalt make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skilful workman; like the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, shalt thou make it. 16 Foursquare it shall be and double; a span shall be the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof. 17 And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle shall be the first row; 18 and the second row an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond; 19 and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; 20 and the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be inclosed in gold in their settings. 21 And the stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, every one according to his name, they shall be for the twelve tribes. 22 And thou shalt make upon the breastplate chains like cords, of wreathen work of pure gold. 23 And thou shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. 24 And thou shalt put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate. 25 And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains thou shalt put on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod in the forepart thereof. 26 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the breastplate, upon the edge thereof, which is toward the side of the ephod inward. 27 And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and shalt put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, in the forepart thereof, close by the coupling thereof, above the skilfully woven band of the ephod. 28 And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be upon the skilfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod. 29 And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place, for a memorial before Jehovah continually. 30 And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron’s heart, when he goeth in before Jehovah: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before Jehovah continually.

31 And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue. 32 And it shall have a hole for the head in the midst thereof: it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of a coat of mail, that it be not rent. 33 And upon the skirts of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the skirts thereof; and bells of gold between them round about: 34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the skirts of the robe round about. 35 And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and the sound thereof shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before Jehovah, and when he cometh out, that he die not.

36 And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLY TO JEHOVAH. 37 And thou shalt put it on a lace of blue, and it shall be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be. 38 And it shall be upon Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before Jehovah. 39 And thou shalt weave the coat in checker work of fine linen, and thou shalt make a mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make a girdle, the work of the embroiderer.

40 And for Aaron’s sons thou shalt make coats, and thou shalt make for them girdles, and head-tires shalt thou make for them, for glory and for beauty. 41 And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and upon his sons with him, and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the priest’s office. 42 And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover the flesh of their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach: 43 And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they go in unto the tent of meeting, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute for ever unto him and unto his seed after him.

1 "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.

2 Make sacred garments for your brother Aaron to give him dignity and honor.

3 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.

4 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.

5 Have them use gold, and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.

6 "Make the ephod of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen —the work of skilled hands.

7 It is to have two shoulder pieces attached to two of its corners, so it can be fastened.

8 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.

9 "Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel

10 in the order of their birth —six names on one stone and the remaining six on the other.

11 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 settings

12 and 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.

13 Make gold filigree settings

14 and two braided chains of pure gold, like a rope, and attach the chains to the settings.

15 "Fashion a breastpiece for making decisions —the work of skilled hands. Make it like the ephod: of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen.

16 It is to be square —a span "long and a span wide —and folded double.

17 Then mount four rows of precious stones on it. The first row shall be carnelian, chrysolite and beryl;

18 the second row shall be turquoise, lapis lazuli and emerald;

19 the third row shall be jacinth, agate and amethyst;

20 the fourth row shall be topaz, onyx and jasper. "Mount them in gold filigree settings.

21 There are to be twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.

22 "For the breastpiece make braided chains of pure gold, like a rope.

23 Make two gold rings for it and fasten them to two corners of the breastpiece.

24 Fasten the two gold chains to the rings at the corners of the breastpiece,

25 and the other ends of the chains to the two settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front.

26 Make two gold rings and attach them to the other two corners of the breastpiece on the inside edge next to the ephod.

27 Make two more gold rings and attach them to the bottom of the shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod, close to the seam just above the waistband of the ephod.

28 The rings of the breastpiece are to be tied to the rings of the ephod with blue cord, connecting it to the waistband, so that the breastpiece will not swing out from the ephod.

29 "Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he will bear the names of the sons of Israel over his heart on the breastpiece of decision as a continuing memorial before the LORD.

30 Also put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastpiece, so they may be over Aaron's heart whenever he enters the presence of the LORD. Thus Aaron will always bear the means of making decisions for the Israelites over his heart before the LORD.

31 "Make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth,

32 with an opening for the head in its center. There shall be a woven edge like a collar "around this opening, so that it will not tear.

33 Make pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet yarn around the hem of the robe, with gold bells between them.

34 The gold bells and the pomegranates are to alternate around the hem of the robe.

35 Aaron must wear it when he ministers. The sound of the bells will be heard when he enters the Holy Place before the LORD and when he comes out, so that he will not die.

36 "Make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it as on a seal: HOLY TO THE LORD.

37 Fasten a blue cord to it to attach it to the turban; it is to be on the front of the turban.

38 It will be on Aaron's forehead, and he will bear the guilt involved in the sacred gifts the Israelites consecrate, whatever their gifts may be. It will be on Aaron's forehead continually so that they will be acceptable to the LORD.

39 "Weave the tunic of fine linen and make the turban of fine linen. The sash is to be the work of an embroiderer.

40 Make tunics, sashes and caps for Aaron's sons to give them dignity and honor.

41 After you put these clothes on your brother Aaron and his sons, anoint and ordain them. Consecrate them so they may serve me as priests.

42 "Make linen undergarments as a covering for the body, reaching from the waist to the thigh.

43 Aaron and his sons must wear them whenever they enter the tent of meeting or approach the altar to minister in the Holy Place, so that they will not incur guilt and die. "This is to be a lasting ordinance for Aaron and his descendants.
