|
34. A golden H2091 bell H6472 and a pomegranate H7416 , a golden H2091 bell H6472 and a pomegranate H7416 , upon H5921 the hem H7757 of the robe H4598 round about H5439 .
|
|
35. Aaron shall wear it when ministering, that its tinkling may be heard as he enters and leaves the LORD'S presence in the sanctuary; else he will die.
|

|
|
36. "You shall also make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it, as on a seal engraving, 'Sacred to the LORD.'
|
36. And thou shalt make H6213 a plate H6731 of pure H2889 gold H2091 , and grave H6605 upon H5921 it, like the engravings H6603 of a signet H2368 , HOLINESS H6944 TO THE LORD H3068 .

|
38. And it shall be H1961 upon H5921 Aaron H175 's forehead H4696 , that Aaron H175 may bear H5375 H853 the iniquity H5771 of the holy things H6944 , which H834 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 shall hallow H6942 in all H3605 their holy H6944 gifts H4979 ; and it shall be H1961 always H8548 upon H5921 his forehead H4696 , that they may be accepted H7522 before H6440 the LORD H3068 .
|
|
39. "The tunic of fine linen shall be brocaded. The miter shall be made of fine linen. The sash shall be of variegated work.

|
40. And for Aaron H175 's sons H1121 thou shalt make H6213 coats H3801 , and thou shalt make H6213 for them girdles H73 , and bonnets H4021 shalt thou make H6213 for them , for glory H3519 and for beauty H8597 .
|
|
41. With these you shall clothe your brother Aaron and his sons. Anoint and ordain them, consecrating them as my priests.
|
41. And thou shalt put them upon H3847 H853 H853 Aaron H175 thy brother H251 , and his sons H1121 with H854 him ; and shalt anoint H4886 them , and consecrate H4390 H853 H3027 them , and sanctify H6942 them , that they may minister unto me in the priest's office H3547 .
|
|
42. You must also make linen drawers for them, to cover their naked flesh from their loins to their thighs.
|
42. And thou shalt make H6213 them linen H906 breeches H4370 to cover H3680 their nakedness H1320 H6172 ; from the loins H4480 H4975 even unto H5704 the thighs H3409 they shall reach H1961 :
|
|
43. Aaron and his sons shall wear them whenever they go into the meeting tent or approach the altar to minister in the sanctuary, lest they incur guilt and die. This shall be a perpetual ordinance for him and for his descendants.
|
43. And they shall be H1961 upon H5921 Aaron H175 , and upon H5921 his sons H1121 , when they come in H935 unto H413 the tabernacle H168 of the congregation H4150 , or H176 when they come near H5066 unto H413 the altar H4196 to minister H8334 in the holy H6944 place ; that they bear H5375 not H3808 iniquity H5771 , and die H4191 : it shall be a statute H2708 forever H5769 unto him and his seed H2233 after H310 him.
