Exodus 28:33-43 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

33. Make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn on its lower hem and all around it. Put gold bells between them all the way around,

34. so that gold bells and pomegranates alternate around the lower hem of the robe.

35. The robe must be worn by Aaron whenever he ministers, and its sound will be heard when he enters the sanctuary before the Lord and when he exits, so that he does not die.

36. “You are to make a pure gold medallion and engrave it, like the engraving of a seal: HOLY TO THE Lord.

37. Fasten it to a cord of blue yarn so it can be placed on the turban; the medallion is to be on the front of the turban.

38. It will be on Aaron’s forehead so that Aaron may bear the guilt connected with the holy offerings that the Israelites consecrate as all their holy gifts. It is always to be on his forehead, so that they may find acceptance with the Lord.

39. “You are to weave the tunic from fine linen, make a turban of fine linen, and make an embroidered sash.

40. Make tunics, sashes, and headbands for Aaron’s sons to give them glory and beauty.

41. Put these on your brother Aaron and his sons; then anoint, ordain, and consecrate them, so that they may serve Me as priests.

42. Make them linen undergarments to cover their naked bodies; they must extend from the waist to the thighs.

43. These must be worn by Aaron and his sons whenever they enter the tent of meeting or approach the altar to minister in the sanctuary area, so that they do not incur guilt and die. This is to be a permanent statute for Aaron and for his future descendants.
