Making the priestly clothes
1Beautiful priestly clothes were made of blue, purple, and red wool for Aaron to wear when he performed his duties in the holy place. This was done exactly as the Lord had commanded Moses.
2The entire priestly apron was made of fine linen, woven with blue, purple, and red wool. Thin sheets of gold were hammered out and cut into threads that were skilfully woven into the apron.

4It had two shoulder straps to support it and a sash that fastened around the waist.

6Onyx stones were placed in gold settings, and each one was engraved with the name of one of Israel's sons.
7Then these were attached to the shoulder straps of the apron, so the Lord would never forget his people. Everything was done exactly as the Lord had commanded Moses.
The breastpiece
8The breastpiece was made with the same materials and designs as the priestly apron.
9It was twenty-two centimetres square and folded double
10with four rows of three precious stones: a carnelian, a chrysolite, and an emerald were in the first row;
11a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond were in the second row;
12a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst were in the third row;
13and a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper were in the fourth row. They were mounted in a delicate gold setting,
14and on each of them was engraved the name of one of the twelve tribes of Israel.
15Two gold rings were attached to the upper front corners of the breastpiece and fastened with two braided gold chains to gold settings on the shoulder straps.

19Two other gold rings were attached to the lower inside corners next to the apron,
20and two more near the bottom of the shoulder straps just above the sash.
21To keep the breastpiece in place, a blue cord was used to tie the two lower rings on the breastpiece to those on the apron. These things were done exactly as the Lord had commanded Moses.
The clothes for the priests
22The priestly robe was made of blue wool
23with an opening in the centre for the head. The material around the collar was bound so as to keep it from fraying.
24Along the hem of the robe were woven pomegranates of blue, purple, and red wool with a bell of pure gold between each of them. This robe was to be worn by Aaron when he performed his duties.

27Everything that Aaron and his sons wore was made of fine linen woven with blue, purple, and red wool, including their robes and turbans, their fine caps and underwear, and even their sashes that were embroidered with needlework.

29(39:27)
30“Dedicated to the Lord” was engraved on a narrow strip of pure gold,
31which was fastened to Aaron's turban. These things were done exactly as the Lord had commanded Moses.
The work is completed
32So the people of Israel finished making everything the Lord had told Moses to make.
33Then they brought it all to Moses: the sacred tent and its equipment, including the hooks, the framework and crossbars, and its posts and stands;
34the covering of tanned ram skins and fine leather; the inside curtain;
35the sacred chest with its carrying poles and the place of mercy;
36the table with all that goes on it, including the sacred bread;
37the lampstand of pure gold, together with its equipment and oil;
38the gold-covered incense altar; the ordination oil and the sweet-smelling incense; the curtain for the entrance to the tent;
39the bronze altar for sacrifices with its bronze grating, its carrying poles, and its equipment; the large bronze bowl with its stand;
40the curtain with its posts and cords, and its pegs and stands that go around the courtyard; everything needed for the sacred tent;
41and the finely woven priestly clothes for Aaron and his sons.
42When Moses saw that the people had done everything exactly as the Lord had commanded, he gave them his blessing.
