I am giving you the priesthood as a service that is a gift, and the unauthorized person who comes near shall be put to death.”Then the Lord spoke to Aaron,“ Now behold, I Myself have put you in charge of My offerings, all the holy gifts of the sons of Israel I have given to you as a portion and to your sons as a permanent allotment.

They shall make holy garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so that he may serve as priest to Me.They shall take the gold, the violet, the purple, the scarlet material, and the fine linen.“ They shall also make the ephod of gold, of violet, purple, and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen, the work of the skilled embroiderer.It shall have two shoulder pieces joined to its two ends, so that it may be joined.The skillfully woven band of its overlay, which is on it, shall be like its workmanship, of the same material: of gold, of violet and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen.And you shall take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel,six of their names on the one stone and the names of the remaining six on the other stone, according to their birth.As a jeweler engraves a signet, you shall engrave the two stones according to the names of the sons of Israel; you shall set them in filigree settings of gold.And you shall put the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, as stones of memorial for the sons of Israel, and Aaron shall carry their names before the Lord on his two shoulders as a memorial.And you shall make filigree settings of gold,and two chains of pure gold; you shall make them of twisted cord work, and you shall put the corded chains on the filigree settings.
