⁴They must make a chest cloth, a linen apron, an outer robe, an inner robe, a turban and a belt. They must make sacred clothes for your brother Aaron and his sons. Then they will serve me as priests. ⁵Have them use fine gold wire, and blue, purple and bright red yarn, and fine linen.

The Linen Apron

⁶“Make the linen apron out of fine gold wire, and out of blue, purple and bright red yarn, and out of finely twisted linen. Have a skilled worker make it. ⁷It must have two shoulder straps joined to two of its corners.

⁸“Its skillfully made waistband must be like it. The waistband must be part of the apron itself. Make the waistband out of fine gold wire, and out of blue, purple and bright red yarn, and out of finely twisted linen.

⁹“Get two onyx stones. Carve the names of the sons of Israel on them. ¹⁰Arrange them in the order of their birth. Carve six names on one stone and six on the other. ¹¹Carve the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the way a jewel cutter carves a seal.

“Then put the stones in fancy gold settings. ¹²Connect them to the shoulder straps of the linen apron. The stones will stand for the sons of Israel. Aaron must carry the names on his shoulders as a reminder while he is serving me.
