He put the turban on Aaron's head and fastened the gold medallion, the holy crown, to the front of the turban as Jehovah had commanded Moses. Moses took the anointing oil to anoint the tent and everything in it and dedicate them. He sprinkled the altar seven times. He anointed the altar; it's utensils, the washbasin and its pedestal. This made them holy. He also poured some of the anointing oil on Aaron's head and anointed him to set him apart for his holy duties. Next, Moses dressed the sons of Aaron. He put shirts on them; put sashes around their waists, and tied caps on their heads, just as Jehovah commanded. Moses brought the young bull for the sin offering. Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head. Moses killed it and took some of the blood. Using his finger he put it on the projections at the corners of the altar, in order to dedicate it. He then poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. In this way he dedicated it and purified it. Moses took all the fat on the internal organs. He took the best part of the liver, and the kidneys with the fat on them, and burned it all on the altar. Finally, he took the skin and the flesh of the bull, together with the food still in its stomach, and burned them outside the camp, just as Jehovah commanded. Moses led out the ram for the sacrifice to please Jehovah. After Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head, Moses slaughtered the ram and splattered its blood against the four sides of the altar. The ram was cut into pieces. Moses burned the head with the other pieces and the fat. He washed the internal organs and the legs. Then Moses burned the whole ram on the altar as Jehovah commanded him. It was a burnt offering, a pleasant aroma, an offering by fire to Jehovah. He brought the second ram for the ordination offering. Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the ram's head. Moses slaughtered it. He took some of the blood, and put it on Aaron's right ear lobe, on his right thumb, and on the big toe of his right foot. Moses also brought Aaron's sons forward. He put some of the blood on their right ear lobes, on their right thumbs, and on the big toes of their right feet. Moses threw the rest of the blood against all the sides of the altar. He took the fat from the tail, all the fat on the internal organs, the lobe of the liver, the two kidneys with their fat, and the right thigh. He took a loaf of unleavened bread, a ring of bread made with olive oil. He took a wafer from the basket of unleavened bread in Jehovah's presence. He put them on the fat and the right thigh. He placed all these things in the hands of Aaron and his sons. Moses presented all these things to Jehovah as an offering. Then he took them from their hands and burned them on top of the burnt offering on the altar. These were ordination offerings, offerings by fire, a soothing aroma to Jehovah. Moses also took the breast from the ram of the ordination offering and presented it to Jehovah. It was Moses' share, as Jehovah commanded. Moses took some of the anointing oil and some of the blood that was on the altar. He sprinkled it on Aaron and his clothes and on his sons and their clothes. In this way he dedicated Aaron, his clothes, his sons, and their clothes. Moses told Aaron and his sons: Cook the meat at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. Take the meat and the bread in the basket of the ordination offering. Eat them there as I commanded when I said: 'Aaron and his sons will eat it.' You must burn all meat or bread that is left over. You will not leave the entrance to the Tent of Meeting for seven days. Do not leave until the last day of your ordination is over. It will take seven days to ordain you. I did today what Jehovah commanded me to pay compensation for wrongdoing and make peace with Jehovah for you. You will stay at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting day and night for seven days and keep the watch as Jehovah directs you. Then you will not die. This is what I was commanded.

They will make these holy clothes for your brother Aaron and his sons so that they will be able to serve me as priests. read more.
Take the gold and blue thread and wool that is dyed bright read and the fine linen and prepare the ephod with fine linen yarn. Embroider gold, violet, purple, and bright red yarn into the fabric. It should have two shoulder straps attached at the top corners so it can be fastened. Make the belt that is attached to the ephod from the same fabric. Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on two onyx stones. Engrave them in order of their birth. Place six names on each stone. Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the same way a jeweler engraves a signet ring. Mount them in gold settings. Then fasten them on the shoulder straps of the ephod as reminders of who the Israelites are. In this way Aaron will carry their names on his shoulders as a reminder in Jehovah's presence. Make gold settings. Also make two chains of pure gold. These gold chains should be twisted like ropes. Fasten these chains to the settings. Prepare the breast piece for decision-making using a skilled craftsman. Make it like the ephod out of gold, violet, purple, and bright red yarn and out of fine linen yarn. Fold it in half so it is nine inches square. Fasten four rows of precious stones on it. Put red quartz, topaz, and emerald in the first row. Place turquoise, sapphire, and crystal in the second row. In the third row put jacinth, agate, and amethyst. In the fourth row put beryl, onyx, and gray quartz. Mount them in gold settings. The stones represent the twelve sons of Israel, by name, each stone engraved like a signet ring with the name of one of the twelve tribes. Make chains out of pure gold, twisted like ropes for the breastplate. Make two gold rings for the breastplate. Attach them to the two top corners of the breastplate. Fasten the two gold ropes to the rings at the top corners of the breastplate. Fasten the other ends of the ropes to the two settings on the shoulder straps of the ephod so that the breastplate hangs in front of it. Make two gold rings, and connect them to the other two corners of the breastplate on the inside edge next to the ephod. Make two more gold rings, and fasten them to the bottom of the shoulder straps on the front of the ephod. This will be close to the seam just above the belt of the ephod. Then the breastplate should be fastened by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a violet cord. Attach it just above the belt of the ephod. This will hold the breastplate in place. When Aaron goes into the holy place, he will carry the names of the sons of Israel over his heart as a continual reminder in Jehovah's presence. He must do this by wearing the breast piece for decision-making. Put the Urim and Thummim into the breast piece for decision-making. They, too, will be over Aaron's heart when he comes into Jehovah's presence. In this way when he is in Jehovah's presence, Aaron will always be carrying over his heart the means for determining Jehovah's decisions for the Israelites. Make the robe that is worn with the ephod entirely of violet material. Provide an opening for the head in the center with a reinforced edge like a leather collar all around it to keep it from tearing. Along the hem of the robe weave pomegranates of blue, purple, and red wool with a gold bell between each of them. A gold bell should alternate with a pomegranate all around the hem of the robe. Aaron should wear it when he serves as priest. The sound of the bells must be heard when he comes into and goes out of Jehovah's presence in the holy place so that he will not die. Also make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it, like the engravings of a seal: Holy to Jehovah. Fasten it on a blue cord and on the turban. It should be at the front of the turban. It shall be on Aaron's forehead. Aaron will take away the iniquity of the holy things that the sons of Israel consecrate. Concerning their holy gifts it will always be on his forehead that they may be accepted before Jehovah. Weave the tunic of checkered work of fine linen. Make a turban of fine linen and a sash, the work of a weaver. Make linen robes, belts, and turbans for Aaron's sons. These clothes will give them dignity and honor. Dress your brother Aaron and his sons in these clothes and anoint them, ordain them, and set them apart to serve me as priests. Make linen undergarments to cover them down to their thighs. Aaron and his sons must wear them when they go into the tent of meeting or when they come near the altar to serve as priests in the holy place. They will be blameless and will not die. This is a long lasting law for him and his descendants.

This is a long lasting law for him and his descendants.
From the violet, purple, and bright red yarn they made special clothes worn for official duties in the holy place. They also made the holy clothes for Aaron. They obeyed Jehovah's instructions to Moses. The ephod was made out of fine linen yarn and gold, violet, purple, and bright red yarn. The gold was hammered into thin sheets and cut up. They twisted the gold into threads, which they creatively worked into each strand of the violet, purple, and bright red yarn, and throughout the fine linen. read more.
From this they made two shoulder straps for the ephod and attached them to its sides, so that it could be fastened. The finely woven belt, made of the same materials, was attached to the ephod so as to form one piece with it. This was as Jehovah had commanded Moses. They prepared the carnelians and mounted them in gold settings. They were skillfully engraved with the names of the twelve sons of Jacob. They placed them on the shoulder straps of the ephod to represent the twelve tribes of Israel. Again, this was just as Jehovah commanded Moses. The breast piece was made of the same materials as the ephod and with similar embroidery. It was square and folded double, nine inches long and nine inches wide. They mounted four rows of precious stones on it. Ruby was mounted on the first row along with topaz, and garnet. Included in the second row was an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond. The third row contained a turquoise, an agate, and an amethyst. The fourth row contained a beryl, a carnelian, and jasper. These were mounted in gold settings. Each of the twelve stones had engraved on it the name of one of the sons of Jacob, in order to represent the twelve tribes of Israel. They made chains out of pure gold, twisted like ropes. These were for the breastplate. Two gold settings and two gold rings were prepared and attached, the two rings to the top two corners of the breast piece. They fastened the two gold ropes to the rings at the top corners of the breastplate. They fastened the other ends of the ropes to the two settings on the shoulder straps of the ephod. The breastplate hung in front of it. They made two gold rings and fastened them to the other two corners of the breast piece on the inside edge next to the ephod. They made two more gold rings and fastened them to the bottom of the shoulder straps on the front of the ephod. This was close to the seam just above the belt of the ephod. Finally they fastened the breast piece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a violet cord. So the breast piece was attached just above the belt of the ephod and was held in place. They followed Jehovah's instructions to Moses. They made the robe that is worn with the ephod. It was woven entirely of violet yarn. The opening in the center of the robe had a finished edge, somewhat like a leather collar, all around it to keep it from tearing. On the hem of the robe they made pomegranates of violet, purple, and bright red yarn, and fine yarn. Bells were made out of pure gold. They were fastened in between the pomegranates all around the hem of the robe. A gold bell alternated with a pomegranate all around the hem of the robe that is worn by Aaron when he served as priest. They followed Jehovah's instructions to Moses. They wove inner robes out of fine linen for Aaron and his sons. They also made the chief priest's turban and the other beautiful turbans out of fine linen. They made the undergarments and belt out of fine linen yarn. The belt was embroidered with violet, purple, and bright red yarn. They followed Jehovah's instructions to Moses. The flower-shaped medallion, the holy crown, was fashioned out of pure gold. The statement: HOLY TO JEHOVAH was engraved on it. They fastened a violet cord to it and tied it on top of the turban. They followed Jehovah's instructions to Moses.
From this they made two shoulder straps for the ephod and attached them to its sides, so that it could be fastened. The finely woven belt, made of the same materials, was attached to the ephod so as to form one piece with it. This was as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

They mounted four rows of precious stones on it. Ruby was mounted on the first row along with topaz, and garnet. Included in the second row was an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond. The third row contained a turquoise, an agate, and an amethyst. The fourth row contained a beryl, a carnelian, and jasper. These were mounted in gold settings. Each of the twelve stones had engraved on it the name of one of the sons of Jacob, in order to represent the twelve tribes of Israel. They made chains out of pure gold, twisted like ropes. These were for the breastplate. Two gold settings and two gold rings were prepared and attached, the two rings to the top two corners of the breast piece. They fastened the two gold ropes to the rings at the top corners of the breastplate. They fastened the other ends of the ropes to the two settings on the shoulder straps of the ephod. The breastplate hung in front of it. They made two gold rings and fastened them to the other two corners of the breast piece on the inside edge next to the ephod. They made two more gold rings and fastened them to the bottom of the shoulder straps on the front of the ephod. This was close to the seam just above the belt of the ephod. Finally they fastened the breast piece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a violet cord. So the breast piece was attached just above the belt of the ephod and was held in place. They followed Jehovah's instructions to Moses. They made the robe that is worn with the ephod. It was woven entirely of violet yarn. The opening in the center of the robe had a finished edge, somewhat like a leather collar, all around it to keep it from tearing. On the hem of the robe they made pomegranates of violet, purple, and bright red yarn, and fine yarn. Bells were made out of pure gold. They were fastened in between the pomegranates all around the hem of the robe. A gold bell alternated with a pomegranate all around the hem of the robe that is worn by Aaron when he served as priest. They followed Jehovah's instructions to Moses. They wove inner robes out of fine linen for Aaron and his sons. They also made the chief priest's turban and the other beautiful turbans out of fine linen. They made the undergarments and belt out of fine linen yarn. The belt was embroidered with violet, purple, and bright red yarn. They followed Jehovah's instructions to Moses. The flower-shaped medallion, the holy crown, was fashioned out of pure gold. The statement: HOLY TO JEHOVAH was engraved on it. They fastened a violet cord to it and tied it on top of the turban. They followed Jehovah's instructions to Moses.
He clothed Aaron with the embroidered tunic and tied the sash around him. He also dressed him in the linen robe that is worn with the ephod. He fastened the ephod to it. Then he placed the breastplate on him and he placed the Urim and Thummim. He put the turban on Aaron's head and fastened the gold medallion, the holy crown, to the front of the turban as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
