⁵ Take the robes, and put the coat and the dress and the ephod and the priest's bag on Aaron; put the band of needlework round him,

² And make holy robes for Aaron your brother, so that he may be clothed with glory and honour.

³ Give orders to all the wise-hearted workmen, whom I have made full of the spirit of wisdom, to make robes for Aaron, so that he may be made holy as my priest.

⁴ This is what they are to make: a priest's bag, an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of coloured needlework, a head-dress, and a linen band; they are to make holy robes for Aaron your brother and for his sons, so that they may do the work of priests for me.

⁵ They are to take the gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen,

⁶ And make the ephod of gold and blue and purple and red and the best linen, the work of a designer.

⁷ It is to have two bands stitched to it at the top of the arms, joining it together.

⁸ And the beautifully worked band, which goes on it, is to be of the same work and the same material, of gold and blue and purple and red and twisted linen-work.

⁷ He put the coat on him, making it tight with its band, and then the robe, and over it the ephod, with its band of needlework to keep it in place.

⁸ And he put the priest's bag on him, and in the bag he put the Urim and Thummim.
