28:1 And take thou unto thee Aharon thy brother, and his banim with him, from among the benai Yisrael, that he may minister unto me in the Kohen's office, [even] Aharon, Nadav and Avihu, Eleazar and Itamar, Aharon's banim.

28:2+ And thou shalt make kadosh garments for Aharon thy brother for Kavod and for beauty.

28:4 And these [are] the garments which they shall make; a choshen, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make kadosh garments for Aharon thy brother, and his banim, that he may minister unto me in the Kohen's office.

28:5 And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.

28:11 With the work of an engraver in stone, [like] the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the benai Yisrael: thou shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold.

28:14 And two chains [of] pure gold at the ends; [of] wreathen work shalt thou make them, and fasten the wreathen chains to the ouches.

28:15 And thou shalt make the choshen of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; [of] gold, [of] blue, and [of] purple, and [of] scarlet, and [of] fine twined linen, shalt thou make it.

28:31(iii) And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all [of] blue.

28:32 And there shall be an hole in the top of it, in the midst thereof: it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of an habergeon, that it be not rent.

28:33 And [beneath] upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates [of] blue, and [of] purple, and [of] scarlet, round about the hem thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:
