And [now separate] and take unto you your brother, Aharon, and his sons with him, from among the B’nei Yisrael, to serve [before] Me [as kohanim]: Aharon, Nadav, Avihu, Elazar, and Isamar, the sons of Aharon.

Make sacred garments for your brother, Aharon, for honor and splendor.

Speak to all who are wise in heart, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, and have them make Aharon’s garments, to sanctify him to serve [before] Me [as kohein].

These are the garments that they shall make: a breastplate, an eiphod, a robe, a checkered undershirt, a turban and a sash-belt. Have them make sacred garments for your brother Aharon, and for his sons, to serve [before] Me [as kohanim].

They shall take the gold, the greenish-blue wool, the dark red wool the crimson [colored] wool, and the fine twined linen.

They shall make the eiphod out of gold, greenish-blue wool, dark red wool, crimson [colored] wool, and fine twined linen, the work of a craftsman.

It shall have two shoulder straps attached to it, they shall be attached at its two corners [sides].

The eiphod’s belt [that enhances it], which is on it, shall be made in the same manner [as the eiphod]—it shall be woven with it. [with] gold, greenish blue wool, dark red wool, crimson [colored] wool and fine twined linen.

Take two shoham [onyx] stones and engrave on them the names of the B’nei Yisrael.

Six of their names on the one stone, and the remaining six names on the second stone, in the order of their birth.

The work of a skilled [precious] stone engraver, like the engraving of a signet [ring] [written in script that is clear like they engrave a signet ring] shall you engrave the two stones with the names of the B’nei Yisrael. In gold settings shall you place them.

Set the two stones on the shoulder straps of the eiphod as remembrance stones for the B’nei Yisrael. Aharon shall bear their names before Adonoy, on his two shoulders as a remembrance.

Make gold settings,

and two chains of pure gold, you will make them for the ends, a braided work. and you will fasten the braided chain’s to the settings.

Make a breastplate of judgment, the work of a craftsman. Make it in the same manner you made the eiphod. [Out of] gold, greenish-blue wool, dark red wool, crimson [colored] wool and fine twined linen, shall you make it.

It shall be a doubled square, a span in its length and a span in its width.

Fill it [the breastplate settings] with fillings of [mounted] stones. Their shall be four rows of [precious] stones: [The first row:] An odem [ruby], pitda [topaz], and a barekes [emerald], [shall be placed on] the first row [one].

The second row: nofech [carbuncle], sapphire, and yahalom [diamond].

The third row: leshem [opal], shevo [agate], and achlomo [amethyst].

The fourth row: tarshish [chrysolite], shoham [onyx], and yoshfei [jasper]. [These stones] shall be placed in gold settings in their fullness.

These stones shall have on them the names of the B’nei Yisrael, twelve of them by their names, each one’s name [written in script that is clear like they engrave a signet ring] engraved as on a signet [ring], representing the twelve tribes.

Make [two] twisted end-chains for the breastplate, braided work of pure gold.

Make two gold ring’s for the breastplate, and set the two rings on the two [upper] corners [sides] for the breastplate.

Place [attach] the two gold-braided chains on the two rings, at the corners [sides] of the breastplate.

The two ends of the two braided chains [which are on its two sides], you shall place [attach] to the two settings, and place them on the shoulder straps of the eiphod toward its face.

Make two gold rings and set them on the two [lower] corners [sides] of the breastplate, on its edge that is on the inner side of the eiphod.

Make two gold rings and place them on the two shoulder straps of the eiphod, on the bottom, toward its face, a gainst where they are joined, above the eiphod’s belt.

They shall bind the [lower] rings of the breastplate to the [lower] rings of the eiphod with a cord of greenish-blue wool, so that it [the breastplate] remains against the eiphod’s belt, so that the breastplate does not move from the eiphod.

Aharon will thus carry the names of the B’nei Yisrael on the breastplate of judgment, over his heart, when he comes into the Holy [sanctuary], as a constant remembrance before Adonoy.

Place in the breastplate the Urim and Tumim, and they will be over Aharon’s heart when he comes before Adonoy. Aharon will carry the judgment of the B’nei Yisrael over his heart, before Adonoy always.

Make the robe of the eiphod completely out of greenish-blue wool.

Its opening at the top shall be turned inward. Its opening shall have a border [encircling] all around, [this border shall be] of woven work, like there is around the opening of a coat of armor, so that it will not be torn.

On its [lower] hem you shall make pomegranates of greenish-blue wool, dark red wool, and crimson [colored] wool—around its [lower] hem. There shall be gold bells between them, all around.

A gold bell and a pomegranate, a gold bell and a pomegranate, on the [lower] hem of the robe all around.

It shall be on Aharon when he performs [Divine] service. Its sound shall be heard when he comes into the Holy [sanctuary] in the presence of Adonoy, and when he comes out, so that he will not die.

You shall make a diadem of pure gold, and engrave on it in the manner of a signet [ring] [script that is clear], “Holy unto Adonoy.”

Set [fasten] it on a greenish-blue wool cord, so that it will be on the turban. It shall be near the front of the turban.

It shall be [worn] on Aharon’s forehead, and Aharon will carry [atone] the iniquity of the sacred offerings that the B’nei Yisrael consecrate for all their sacred gifts. It shall be on his forehead always to make them [the sacred-offerings] acceptable before Adonoy.

Make the undershirt with checkered work of fine linen. Make the turban of fine linen. and the sash-belt shall be the work of an embroiderer.

For Aharon’s sons, make undershirts, and [also] make sash-belts for them. Make turban-like hats for them, for honor and splendor.

Clothe your brother, Aharon, with [these garments], and also [clothe] his sons along with him. [Then] anoint them, and install them [offer their sacrifices], and consecrate them to serve [before] Me [as kohanim].

Make for them linen pants to cover their nakedness, reaching from their waists to their thighs.

These [garments] must be worn by Aharon and his sons whenever they come into Tent of Meeting, or approach the altar to serve in the Holy [sanctuary], in order that they not bear iniquity and die. This is an everlasting statute for him and his descendants after him.
