1. Take unto thee also Aaron thy brother with his sons, from among the children of Israel, that they may minister to me in the priest's office: Aaron, Nadab, and Abiu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
2. And thou shalt make a holy vesture for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty.
3. And thou shalt speak to all the wise of heart, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's vestments, in which he being consecrated may minister to me.
4. And these shall be the vestments that they shall make: A rational and an ephod, a tunick and a strait linen garment, a mitre and a girdle. They shall make the holy vestments for thy brother Aaron and his sons, that they may do the office of priesthood unto me.
5. And they shall take gold, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen.
6. And they shall make the ephod of gold, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen, embroidered with divers colours.
7. It shall have the two edges joined in the top on both sides, that they may be closed together.
8. The very workmanship also and all the variety of the work shall be of gold, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.
9. And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and shalt grave on them the names of the children of Israel:
10. Six names on one stone, and the other six on the other, according to the order of their birth.
11. With the work of an engraver and the graving of a jeweller, thou shalt engrave them with the names of the children of Israel, set in gold and compassed about:
12. And thou shalt put them in both sides of the ephod, a memorial for the children of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord upon both shoulders, for a remembrance.
13. Thou shalt make also hooks of gold.
14. And two little chains of the purest gold linked one to another, which thou shalt put into the hooks.
