And bring near to yourself  ¹Aaron your brother and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may serve Me as a  ²priest — Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.

And you shall make holy  ¹garments for Aaron your brother,  ²for glory and for beauty.

And you shall speak to all who are wise in heart, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron's garments to sanctify him, that he may serve Me as a priest.

And these are the  ¹garments which they shall make: a breastplate and an  ²ephod and a robe and a tunic of  ³checkered work, a turban and a girding sash. So they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother and for his sons that he may serve Me as a priest.

They therefore shall take the gold and the blue and the purple and the scarlet strands and the fine linen,

And they shall make the ephod of  ¹gold thread, of blue and purple and scarlet strands, and fine twined linen, the work of a skillful workman.

It shall have two  ¹shoulder pieces joined to its two edges, so that it may be joined together.

And the skillfully woven band, which is on it  ¹for its fastening, shall be like it in workmanship, of one piece with it; of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet strands and fine twined linen.

And you shall take two  ¹onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel,

Six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the remaining six on the other stone, according to their birth.

With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones, according to the names of the sons of Israel; you shall make them enclosed in  ¹settings of gold.

And you shall put the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as stones of  ¹remembrance for the sons of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before Jehovah on his two shoulders for a  ¹memorial.

And you shall make settings of gold,

And two  ¹chains of pure gold; you shall make them twisted, a corded work, and you shall put the chains of cords on the settings.

And you shall make a  ¹breastplate of  ²judgment, the work of a skillful workman;  ³like the work of the ephod you shall make it; of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet strands, and of fine twined linen you shall make it.

It shall be  ¹square and  ¹doubled; a  ²span its length and a  ²span its width.

And you shall enclose in it enclosures of  ¹stones,  ²four rows of stones: the first row shall be a row of a  ³sardius, a topaz, and an emerald;

And the second row, a  ¹carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond;

And the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

And the fourth row, a  ¹chrysolite, and an onyx, and a jasper; they shall be set in gold in their enclosures.

And the stones shall be according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to their names; they shall be like the  ¹engravings of a signet, each according to its name, for the twelve tribes.

And you shall make on the breastplate twisted  ¹chains, a corded work of pure gold.

And you shall make on the breastplate two  ¹rings of gold and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

And you shall put the two cords of gold in the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.

And you shall put the two other ends of the two cords on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front of it.

And you shall make two rings of gold, and you shall put them upon the two ends of the breastplate upon its edge, which is toward the ephod on the inside.

And you shall make two rings of gold and shall put them on the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod on the front of it, close to the place where it is joined, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.

And they shall bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a  ¹cord of blue strands, that it may be upon the skillfully woven band of the ephod and that the breastplate may not come loose from the ephod.

So Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastplate of judgment on his heart when he goes into the sanctuary, for a  ¹memorial before Jehovah continually.

And you shall put in the breastplate of  ¹judgment the  ²Urim and the  ³Thummim; and they shall be on Aaron's heart when he goes in before Jehovah, and Aaron shall bear the  ¹judgment of the children of Israel on his heart before Jehovah continually.

And you shall make the  ¹robe of the ephod all of  ²blue strands.

And there shall be an opening for the head in its center; around its opening there shall be a binding edge of woven work, like the opening of a  ¹coat of mail, so that it will not be torn.

And you shall make on its hem  ¹pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet strands, all around its hem, and  ¹bells of gold between them all around:

A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, on the hem of the robe all around.

And it shall be upon Aaron when he ministers, and its sound shall be heard when he goes into the sanctuary before Jehovah and when he comes out, so that he may not die.

And you shall make a  ¹plate of pure gold and engrave upon it, like the engravings of a signet:  ²HOLINESS TO JEHOVAH.

And you shall put it on a  ¹cord of blue strands, and it shall be on the turban; it shall be at the front of the turban.

And it shall be upon Aaron's forehead, and Aaron shall bear the iniquity of the  ¹holy things, which the children of Israel sanctify for all their  ¹holy gifts; and it shall always be on his forehead, that they may be accepted before Jehovah.

And you shall weave the  ¹tunic of fine linen, and you shall make a  ¹turban of fine linen, and you shall make a  ¹girding sash, the work of an embroiderer.

And for Aaron's sons you shall make tunics, and you shall make for them girding sashes, and you shall make for them high hats, for glory and for beauty.

And you shall put them upon Aaron your brother and upon his sons with him, and you shall anoint them and  ¹consecrate them and sanctify them, that they may serve Me as priests.

And you shall make them linen trousers to cover their  ¹naked flesh; they shall reach from the loins even to the thighs;

And they shall be upon Aaron and upon his sons when they go into the Tent of Meeting or when they come near to the altar to minister in the sanctuary, that they may not bear iniquity and die. It shall be a perpetual statute for him and for his seed after him.

And this is what you shall do to them to  ¹sanctify them to serve Me as priests: take one  ²bull of the herd and two  ²rams without blemish,

And unleavened  ¹bread and unleavened cakes  ²mingled with oil and unleavened wafers anointed with oil — you shall make them of fine wheat flour.

And you shall put them into one basket and present them in the basket with the bull and the two rams.

And you shall bring Aaron and his sons near to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting, and  ¹wash them with water.

And you shall take the garments and  ¹clothe Aaron with the tunic and the robe of the ephod and the ephod and the breastplate, and gird him with the skillfully woven band of the ephod;

And you shall place the turban on his head and put the holy  ¹crown on the turban.

Then you shall take the  ¹anointing oil and pour it on his head and anoint him.

And you shall bring his sons near and put tunics on them.

And you shall gird them with girding sashes, Aaron and his sons, and bind high hats on them; and they shall have the priesthood by a perpetual statute. So you shall consecrate Aaron and his sons.

And you shall present the bull before the Tent of Meeting, and Aaron and his sons shall  ¹lay their hands on the head of the bull.

And you shall  ¹slaughter the bull before Jehovah at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.

And you shall take some of the  ¹blood of the bull and put some of it on the horns of the altar with your finger, and all the rest of the blood you shall pour out at the base of the altar.

And you shall take all the  ¹fat that covers the inward parts and the appendage on the liver and the two kidneys and the fat that is on them, and  ²burn them on the altar.

But the flesh of the bull and its skin and its dung you shall burn with fire outside the camp; it is a  ¹sin offering.

And you shall also take the one ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

And you shall slaughter the ram, and you shall take its  ¹blood and sprinkle it on and around the altar.

Then you shall cut the ram into its pieces and wash its inward parts and its legs, and put them with its pieces and its head.

And you shall burn the whole ram on the altar; it is a  ¹burnt offering to Jehovah; it is a  ²satisfying fragrance, an offering by fire to Jehovah.

And you shall take the other ram, and Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands on the head of the ram.

Then you shall slaughter the ram and take some of its blood and put it on the lobe of Aaron's right  ¹ear and on the lobe of the right ear of his sons and on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the rest of the blood on and around the altar.

And you shall take some of the  ¹blood that is on the altar and some of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it on Aaron and on his garments, and on his sons and on his sons' garments with him; and he and his garments shall be sanctified, as well as his sons and his sons' garments with him.

You shall also take the fat from the ram, that is, the fat tail and the fat that covers the  ¹inward parts, and the appendage of the liver and the two kidneys with the fat that is on them and the right thigh (for it is a ram of consecration),

And one loaf of  ¹bread and one cake of oiled bread and one wafer out of the basket of unleavened bread that is before Jehovah;

And you shall put all these in the palms of Aaron and in the palms of his sons, and wave them as a  ¹wave offering before Jehovah.

And you shall  ¹take them from their hands and burn them on the altar upon the burnt offering for a satisfying fragrance before Jehovah; it is an offering by fire to Jehovah.

And you shall take the  ¹breast of the ram of Aaron's consecration and wave it as a wave offering before Jehovah; and it shall be  ²your portion.

And you shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the  ¹heave offering which was waved and which was heaved up from the ram of consecration, from that which is for Aaron and from that which is for his sons.

And it shall become a perpetual statute for Aaron and his sons to be observed by the children of Israel, for it is a heave offering; and it shall be a heave offering from the children of Israel from the sacrifices of their  ¹peace offerings, their heave offering to Jehovah.

(And the holy garments of Aaron shall belong to his sons after him, for them to be anointed in them and to be consecrated in them.

One of his sons, who is the priest in his place, shall put them on for  ¹seven days when he comes into the Tent of Meeting to minister in the sanctuary.)

And you shall take the ram of consecration and  ¹boil its flesh in a holy place.

And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram and the bread that is in the basket at the entrance of the  ¹Tent of Meeting.

So they shall eat those things by which  ¹expiation was made, to consecrate them and to sanctify them; but a  ²stranger shall not eat them, because they are holy.

And if any of the flesh of the ram of consecration or any of the bread  ¹remains until the  ²morning, then you shall burn the remainder with fire; it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.

And thus you shall do to Aaron and to his sons according to all that I have commanded you; you shall consecrate them seven days.

And  ¹each day you shall  ²offer a bull as a sin offering for expiation, and you shall  ³cleanse the altar when you make expiation for it; and you shall anoint it to  ³sanctify it.

Seven days you shall make expiation for the altar and sanctify it, and the altar shall become most holy; whatever touches the altar shall be holy.

Now this is what you shall  ¹offer on the altar: two lambs a year old, each day continually.

The one lamb you shall offer in the morning, and the other lamb you shall offer at  ¹twilight.

And with the one lamb a tenth of an ephah of fine flour mingled with a fourth of a hin of beaten oil, and a fourth of a hin of wine for a  ¹drink offering.

And the other lamb you shall offer at twilight; you shall offer it with the meal offering and its drink offering as in the morning, for a satisfying fragrance, an offering by fire to Jehovah.

It shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the entrance of the Tent of Meeting before Jehovah, where I will meet with you to speak to you there.

And there I will meet with the children of Israel; and it shall be sanctified by My glory.

And I will sanctify the Tent of Meeting and the altar. Aaron also and his sons I will sanctify to serve Me as priests.

And I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel, and I will be their God.

And they shall know that I am Jehovah their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, that I might  ¹dwell in the midst of them; I am Jehovah their God.

And you shall make an  ¹altar on which to burn incense; you shall make it of  ²acacia wood.

Its  ¹length shall be a cubit, and its width, a cubit; it shall be square, and two cubits its height; its  ²horns shall be of one piece with it.

And you shall overlay it with pure  ¹gold, its top and its sides around it and its horns; and you shall make a  ²rim of gold around it.

And you shall make for it two  ¹rings of gold under its rim; on its two sides, on its opposite sides, you shall make them; and they shall be as holders for  ¹poles with which to carry it.

And you shall make the poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold.

And you shall put it  ¹before the veil that is over the Ark of the Testimony, before the expiation cover that is over the Testimony, where I will meet with you.

And Aaron shall burn on it fragrant  ¹incense; every morning when he  ²dresses the lamps he shall burn it.

And when Aaron sets up the lamps at twilight, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Jehovah throughout your generations.

You shall not offer any  ¹strange incense on it, or a  ²burnt offering or a  ²meal offering; and you shall not pour a  ²drink offering on it.

And Aaron shall make  ¹expiation on its horns once a year; with the  ²blood of the sin offering of expiation once a year he shall make expiation for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to Jehovah.

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

When you take the  ¹sum of the children of Israel, according to their numbering, every man shall give a ransom for  ²himself to Jehovah when you number them, that there may be no plague among them when you number them.

This they shall give, each one who was enrolled among their numbering, half a shekel according to the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is twenty gerahs), half a shekel as a  ¹heave offering to Jehovah.

Each one who was enrolled among their numbering, from  ¹twenty years old and over, shall give the heave offering of Jehovah.

The rich shall not give more and the poor shall not give less than the half shekel when you give the heave offering of Jehovah to make expiation for your souls.

And you shall take the expiation silver from the children of Israel and shall give it for the  ¹service of the Tent of Meeting, that it may be a memorial for the children of Israel before Jehovah to make expiation for your souls.

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

You shall also make a  ¹laver of  ²bronze, with its base of bronze, for washing. And you shall put it  ³between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and you shall put  ⁴water in it.

And Aaron and his sons shall  ¹wash their hands and their feet with water from it;

When they go into the Tent of Meeting, they shall wash with water, that they may not  ¹die; or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering by fire to Jehovah,

They shall wash their hands and their feet, that they may not die. And it shall be a perpetual statute to them, for him and for his seed throughout their generations.

Moreover Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

You also take the finest spices: of flowing myrrh five hundred shekels, and of fragrant cinnamon half as much, two hundred fifty shekels, and of fragrant calamus two hundred fifty shekels,

And of cassia five hundred shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil.

And you shall make it a  ¹holy anointing oil, a  ²fragrant ointment compounded according to the work of a compounder; it shall be a  ¹holy anointing oil.

And with it you shall  ¹anoint the Tent of Meeting and the Ark of the Testimony,

And the table and all its utensils, and the lampstand and its utensils, and the altar of incense,

And the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the laver and its base.

Thus you shall sanctify them that they may be most holy; whatever touches them shall be holy.

And you shall anoint  ¹Aaron and his sons and sanctify them that they may serve Me as priests.

And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, This shall be a holy anointing oil to Me throughout your generations.

Upon the  ¹flesh of man it shall not be poured, nor shall you make any  ²like it, according to its composition; it is holy, and it shall be holy to you.

Whoever compounds any like it or whoever puts any of it upon a  ¹stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.

And Jehovah said to Moses, Take  ¹fragrant spices — stacte and onycha and galbanum — fragrant spices with pure frankincense; there shall be an  ²equal part of each;

And you shall make of it  ¹incense, a  ²fragrant compound according to the work of a compounder, seasoned with  ³salt, pure and holy.

And you shall  ¹beat some of it very fine, and put some of it  ²before the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting, where I will meet with you; it shall be to you most holy.

And the incense which you shall make, you shall not make for  ¹yourselves according to its composition; it shall be holy to you for Jehovah.

Whoever shall make any like it, to smell it, shall be cut off from his people.
