Make holy garments for your brother Aaron, for glory and beauty.You are to instruct all the skilled craftsmen, whom I have filled with a spirit of wisdom, to make Aaron’s garments for consecrating him to serve Me as priest.These are the garments that they must make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a specially woven tunic, a turban, and a sash. They are to make holy garments for your brother Aaron and his sons so that they may serve Me as priests.

Exodus 28:40-29:4
Make tunics, sashes, and headbands for Aaron’s sons to give them glory and beauty.Put these on your brother Aaron and his sons; then anoint, ordain, and consecrate them, so that they may serve Me as priests.Make them linen undergarments to cover their naked bodies; they must extend from the waist to the thighs.These must be worn by Aaron and his sons whenever they enter the tent of meeting or approach the altar to minister in the sanctuary area, so that they do not incur guilt and die. This is to be a permanent statute for Aaron and for his future descendants.“ This is what you are to do for them to consecrate them to serve Me as priests. Take a young bull and two unblemished rams,with unleavened bread, unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers coated with oil. Make them out of fine wheat flour,put them in a basket, and bring them in the basket, along with the bull and two rams.Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the tent of meeting and wash them with water.

Exodus 39:1-31
They made specially woven garments for ministry in the sanctuary, and the holy garments for Aaron from the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.Bezalel made the ephod of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and of finely spun linen.They hammered out thin sheets of gold, and he cut threads from them to interweave with the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and the fine linen in a skillful design.They made shoulder pieces for attaching it; it was joined together at its two edges.The artistically woven waistband that was on the ephod was of one piece with the ephod, according to the same workmanship of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and of finely spun linen, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.Then they mounted the onyx stones surrounded with gold filigree settings, engraved with the names of Israel’s sons as a gem cutter engraves a seal.He fastened them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the Israelites, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.He also made the embroidered breastpiece with the same workmanship as the ephod of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and of finely spun linen.They made the breastpiece square and folded double, nine inches long and nine inches wide.They mounted four rows of gemstones on it. The first row was a row of carnelian, topaz, and emerald;the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were surrounded with gold filigree in their settings.The 12 stones corresponded to the names of Israel’s sons. Each stone was engraved like a seal with one of the names of the 12 tribes.They made braided chains of pure gold cord for the breastpiece.They also fashioned two gold filigree settings and two gold rings and attached the two rings to its two corners.Then they attached the two gold cords to the two gold rings on the corners of the breastpiece.They attached the other ends of the two cords to the two filigree settings and, in this way, attached them to the ephod’s shoulder pieces in front.They made two other gold rings and put them at the two other corners of the breastpiece on the edge that is next to the inner border of the ephod.They made two more gold rings and attached them to the bottom of the ephod’s two shoulder pieces on its front, close to its seam, above the ephod’s woven waistband.Then they tied the breastpiece from its rings to the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue yarn, so that the breastpiece was above the ephod’s waistband and did not come loose from the ephod. They did just as the Lord had commanded Moses.They made the woven robe of the ephod entirely of blue yarn.There was an opening in the center of the robe like that of body armor with a collar around the opening so that it would not tear.They made pomegranates of finely spun blue, purple, and scarlet yarn on the lower hem of the robe.They made bells of pure gold and attached the bells between the pomegranates, all around the hem of the robe between the pomegranates,a bell and a pomegranate alternating all around the lower hem of the robe to be worn for ministry. They made it just as the Lord had commanded Moses.They made the tunics of fine woven linen for Aaron and his sons.They also made the turban and the ornate headbands of fine linen, the undergarments,and the sash of finely spun linen of embroidered blue, purple, and scarlet yarn. They did just as the Lord had commanded Moses.They also made a medallion, the holy diadem, out of pure gold and wrote on it an inscription like the engraving on a seal: HOLY TO THE LORD.Then they attached a cord of blue yarn to it in order to mount it on the turban, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Exodus 30:23-37
“ Take for yourself the finest spices: 12 1/2 pounds of liquid myrrh, half as much( 6 1/4 pounds) of fragrant cinnamon, 6 1/4 pounds of fragrant cane,12 1/2 pounds of cassia( by the sanctuary shekel), and one gallon of olive oil.Prepare from these a holy anointing oil, a scented blend, the work of a perfumer; it will be holy anointing oil.“ With it you are to anoint the tent of meeting, the ark of the testimony,the table with all its utensils, the lampstand with its utensils, the altar of incense,the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its stand.Consecrate them and they will be especially holy. Whatever touches them will be consecrated.Anoint Aaron and his sons and consecrate them to serve Me as priests.“ Tell the Israelites: This will be My holy anointing oil throughout your generations.It must not be used for ordinary anointing on a person’s body, and you must not make anything like it using its formula. It is holy, and it must be holy to you.Anyone who blends something like it or puts some of it on an unauthorized person must be cut off from his people.”The Lord said to Moses:“ Take fragrant spices: stacte, onycha, and galbanum; the spices and pure frankincense are to be in equal measures.Prepare expertly blended incense from these; it is to be seasoned with salt, pure and holy.Grind some of it into a fine powder and put some in front of the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with you. It must be especially holy to you.As for the incense you are making, you must not make any for yourselves using its formula. It is to be regarded by you as sacred to the Lord.
