Exodus 28:31-39 Common English Bible (CEB)

31. You will make the robe for the vest all of blue.

32. The opening for the head should be in the middle of it. The opening should be reinforced by a woven binding, a strong border so that it doesn’t tear.

33. On its lower hem add pomegranates made of blue, purple, and deep red yarns all around the lower hem, with gold bells between the pomegranates all around it.

34. A gold bell and a pomegranate should alternate all around the lower hem of the robe.

35. Aaron will wear the robe when he ministers as a priest. Its sound will be heard when he goes into the sanctuary in the Lord’s presence and when he comes out, so that he will not die.

36. Make a flower ornament of pure gold and engrave on it like an official seal: "Holy to the Lord."

37. You should fasten it on the turban with a blue cord. It should be on the front of the turban.

38. It will be on Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron will take on himself any guilt connected with the holy offerings that the Israelites give as their sacred donations. It will always be on his forehead so that the people may be remembered favorably in the Lord’s presence.

39. Weave the tunic out of fine linen. Make the turban out of fine linen. Make a sash decorated with needlework.
