The Sayings of God

You are to Make a Headband

You are to make a headband of pure gold and engrave signet-like engravings on it: Sanctified for the Eternal. Place it on a blue wool string, to be over the turban. It is to be against the front of the turban. It shall be on Aaron's forehead. Aaron shall bear the the sin of the sanctifications which the children of Israel will sanctify with all their sanctified gifts. It is to be on his forehead as goodwill for them, continually before the Eternal. You are to weave the plaid linen shirt, make a linen turban and make a belt - the work of an embroiderer. Also, make shirts for Aaron's sons, make belts for them and make hats for them - for honor and for glory. You are to dress them: Aaron your brother and his sons with him. You are to anoint them, consecrate their hands and sanctify them, so that they be priests for me. Make breachcloths to cover naked flesh. They are to be from the tips to the thighs. They are to be on Aaron and on his sons when they come to the tent of meeting,and when they approach the altar to officiate in the sanctuary, so that they do not bear sin and die - an everlasting decree for him and for his descendants after him. - Exodus 28:36-43

You are to Make the Robe

You are to make the robe of the vest entirely of blue wool, and the opening of its head will be in the middle. Its opening is to have an encircling border. It shall have web-work like the opening of chain-mail. It should not be torn. Make on its hems pomegranates of blue wool, purple and scarlet crimson, on its hems, encircling - and gold bells encircling among them: a gold bell and a pomegranate, a gold bell and a pomegranate, encircling the hems of the robe. It shall be on Aaron to officiate. His voice will be heard when he enters the sanctuary, before the Eternal, and when he goes out, that he not die.
- Exodus 28:31-35

You are to Make a Breastplate of Judgment

You are to make a breastplate of judgment, meticulously produced. Make it like the work of the vest. Make it of gold, blue wool, purple, scarlet-crimson and woven linen. It shall be square, folded. Its length, a finger-span, and its width, a finger-span. Set setting stones in it, four rows of stones. The first row: ruby, topaz, emerald - a row. And the second row: turquoise, sapphire and diamond. And the third row: opal, agate and amethyst. And the forth row:beryl, onyx and jasper. They are to be set with gold in their settings, and the stones are to be with the names of the children of Israel, twelve with their names. Signet-like engravings are to be for the twelve tribes, each with its name. Make binding chains on the breastplate, braided work, pure gold. Make two gold rings on the breastplate, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. Put the two gold braids on the two rings at the end of the breastplate, and put the two ends of the two braids on the two settings. Put it on the shoulders of the vest, against its front. Make two gold rings, and place them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its border which is opposite the vest, within. Make two gold rings and put them on the two shoulders of the vest, below, against its front, opposite its joints, above the girdle of the vest. Fasten the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the vest with a blue wool cord - to be on the girdle of the vest, so the breastplate does not dislodge from the vest. Aaron is to bear the names of the children of Israelon the breastplate of judgment on his heart when he comes to the sanctuaryas a memorial before the Eternal, continually. Put the Urim and the Thummim on the breastplate of judgment that they be on Aaron's heart when he comes before the Eternal. Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel on his heart before the Eternal, continually. - Exodus 28:15-30

They are to Make the Vest

They are to make the vest - gold, blue wool, purple, scarlet-crimson and woven linen - meticulously produced. It will have two joined shoulders at its two ends, also joined. And the girdle of its vest which is on it, like its work, will be of it - gold, blue wool, purple, scarlet-crimson and woven linen. Take two onyx stones and engrave the names of the children of Israel on them: six of their names on the first stone and the six remaining names on the second stone, according to their birth, the work of a stonecutter, signet-like engravings. Engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel. You are to make them encircled with gold settings. Put the two stones on the shoulders of the vest, memorial stones for the children of Israel. Aaron will bear the names before the Eternal, on his two shoulders, as a memorial. Make gold settings and two binding chains of pure gold. Make them of braided work, and put the braided chains on the settings. - Exodus 28:6-14
