And the children of Israel were commanded to bring pure oil olive
beaten for the light, to cause the lamp to burn always. And Aaron and
his sons were to order it from evening to morning before the LORD.
And Aaron and his sons were to minister unto the LORD in the priest's
office. And Moses was commanded to make holy garments for them; an
ephod of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, and on
the shoulders of the ephod were to be two onyx stones, with the names
of the children of Israel graven on them: six of their names on one
stone, and the other six names on the other stone, according to their
birth. And they were to make the breastplate of judgment with four rows
of stones set in it: the first row a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle;
the second row an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond; the third row
a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst; and the fourth row a beryl, and
an onyx, and a jasper. And the names of the twelve tribes of the
children of Israel were to be engraved on the stones. And God said unto
Moses, And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the
breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy
place, for a memorial before the LORD continually.
[Sidenote: Exodus 29]
And the robe of the ephod was to be made of blue, and upon the hem of
it pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and golden bells
between the pomegranates.
And God said, Thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon
it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD. And thou
shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon the mitre; upon the
forefront of the mitre it shall be. And it shall be upon Aaron's
forehead. And for Aaron's sons thou shalt make coats, and thou shalt
make for them girdles, and bonnets shalt thou make for them, for glory
and for beauty. And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and his
sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify
them, that they may minister unto me in the priest's office.
And they were to offer upon the altar two lambs of the first year
day by day; one lamb in the morning, and the other lamb at even; to
be a continual burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the
congregation before the LORD.
And God said, There I will meet with the children of Israel, and the
tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory. And I will sanctify the
tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: I will sanctify also
both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the priest's office.
And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
And they shall know that I am the LORD their God, that brought them
forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the
LORD their God.
