Exodus 28:31-43

Exodus 28:31-43 NCV

“Make the outer robe to be worn under the holy vest, using only blue cloth. Make a hole in the center for Aaron’s head, with a woven collar around the hole so it will not tear. 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. 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. 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. “Make a strip of pure gold and carve these words on it as you would carve a seal: ‘Holy to the LORD.’ Use blue ribbon to tie it to the turban; put it on the front of the turban. Aaron must wear this on his forehead. In this way, he will be blamed if anything is wrong with the gifts of the Israelites. Aaron must always wear this on his head so the LORD will accept the gifts of the people. “Make the woven inner robe of fine linen, and make the turban of fine linen also. Make the cloth belt with designs sewn on it. Also make woven inner robes, cloth belts, and headbands for Aaron’s sons, to give them honor and beauty. Put these clothes on your brother Aaron and his sons, and pour olive oil on their heads to appoint them as priests. Make them belong to me so they may serve me as priests. “Make for them linen underclothes to cover them from the waist to the upper parts of the legs. Aaron and his sons must wear these underclothes when they enter the Meeting Tent and anytime they come near the altar to serve as priests in the Holy Place. If they do not wear these clothes, they will be guilty of wrong, and they will die. This will be a law that will last from now on for Aaron and all his descendants.
