SHEMOTH 28 (Exodus 28)

1 “And you, bring near Aharon your brother and his sons with him, from among the children of Yisra’ĕl, for serving as kohĕn to Me: Aharon, Naḏaḇ and Aḇihu, El’azar and Ithamar, the sons of Aharon.
2 “And you shall make qodesh garments for Aharon your brother, for esteem and for comeliness.
3 “And you, speak to all the wise of heart, whom I have filled with a spirit of wisdom, and they shall make the garments of Aharon, to qadosh him, for him to serve as kohĕn to Me.
4 “And these are the garments which they make: a breastplate, a shoulder garment, a robe, an embroidered long shirt, a turban, and a girdle. And they shall make qodesh garments for Aharon your brother and his sons, for him to serve as kohĕn to Me.
5 “And they shall take the gold, and the blue and the purple and the scarlet, and the fine linen,
6 and shall make the shoulder garment of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet, and fine woven linen, the work of a skilled workman.
7 “It is to have two shoulder pieces joined at its two edges, and so it is joined together.
8 “And the embroidered band of the shoulder garment, which is on it, is of the same workmanship, made of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet, and fine woven linen.
9 “And you shall take two shoham stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Yisra’ĕl,
10 six of their names on one stone, and the remaining six names on the other stone, according to their birth.
11 “With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Yisra’ĕl. Put them in mountings of gold.
12 “And you shall put the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the shoulder garment as stones of remembrance for the sons of Yisra’ĕl. And Aharon shall bear their names before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 on his two shoulders, for a remembrance.
13 “And you shall make mountings of gold,
14 and two chains of clean gold like braided cords, and fasten the braided chains to the mountings.
15 “And you shall make a breastplate of right-ruling, a work of a skilled workman, like the work of the shoulder garment. Make it of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet, and fine woven linen.
16 “It is square, doubled, a zereth its length, and a zereth its width.
17 “And you shall put mountings of stones in it, four rows of stones: The first row is a ruby, a topaz, and an emerald;
18 and the second row is a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;
19 and the third row is a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
20 and the fourth row is a beryl, and a shoham, and a jasper. They are put in gold mountings.
21 “And the stones are according to the names of the sons of Yisra’ĕl, twelve according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, each one with its own name, for the twelve tribes.
22 “And you shall make braided chains of corded work for the breastplate at the end, of clean gold.
23 “And you shall make two rings of gold for the breastplate, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
24 “And you shall put the two cords of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the breastplate,
25 and the other two ends of the two cords you fasten to the two mountings, and put them on the shoulder pieces of the shoulder garment in the front.
26 “And you shall make two rings of gold, and shall put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it, which is on the inner side of the shoulder garment.
27 “And you shall make two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder pieces, underneath the shoulder garment, on the front of it, close to the seam above the embroidered band of the shoulder garment,
28 and they bind the breastplate by means of its rings to the rings of the shoulder garment, using a blue cord, so that it is above the embroidered band of the shoulder garment, so that the breastplate does not come loose from the shoulder garment.
29 “And Aharon shall bear the names of the sons of Yisra’ĕl on the breastplate of right-ruling over his heart, when he goes into the qodesh place, for a remembrance before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, continually.
30 “And into the breastplate of right-ruling you shall put the Urim and the Tummim, and they shall be on the heart of Aharon when he goes in before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄. And Aharon shall bear the right-ruling of the children of Yisra’ĕl on his heart before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, continually.
31 “And you shall make the robe of the shoulder garment all of blue.
32 “And the opening for his head shall be in the middle of it, a woven binding all around its opening, like the opening in scaled armour, so that it does not tear.
33 “And on its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet, all around its hem, and bells of gold between them all around:
34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, on the hem of the robe all around.
