New Testament

Exodus 28:29-35 New Century Version (NCV)

29. “When Aaron enters the Holy Place, he will wear the names of the sons of Israel over his heart, on the chest covering that helps in making decisions. This will be a continual reminder before the Lord.

30. And put the Urim and Thummim inside the chest covering so that they will be on Aaron’s heart when he goes before the Lord. They will help in making decisions for the Israelites. So Aaron will always carry them with him when he is before the Lord.

31. “Make the outer robe to be worn under the holy vest, using only blue cloth.

32. Make a hole in the center for Aaron’s head, with a woven collar around the hole so it will not tear.

33. Make balls like pomegranates of blue, purple, and red thread, and hang them around the bottom of the outer robe with gold bells between them.

34. All around the bottom of the outer robe there should be a gold bell and a pomegranate ball, a gold bell and a pomegranate ball.

35. Aaron must wear this robe when he serves as priest. The ringing of the bells will be heard when he enters and leaves the Holy Place before the Lord so that Aaron will not die.
