When the camp is to move, Aaron and his sons are to go in and take down the shielding curtain and put it over the ark of the covenant law.Then they are to cover the curtain with a durable leather, spread a cloth of solid blue over that and put the poles in place.“ Over the table of the Presence they are to spread a blue cloth and put on it the plates, dishes and bowls, and the jars for drink offerings; the bread that is continually there is to remain on it.They are to spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover that with the durable leather and put the poles in place.“ They are to take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand that is for light, together with its lamps, its wick trimmers and trays, and all its jars for the olive oil used to supply it.Then they are to wrap it and all its accessories in a covering of the durable leather and put it on a carrying frame.“ Over the gold altar they are to spread a blue cloth and cover that with the durable leather and put the poles in place.“ They are to take all the articles used for ministering in the sanctuary, wrap them in a blue cloth, cover that with the durable leather and put them on a carrying frame.“ They are to remove the ashes from the bronze altar and spread a purple cloth over it.Then they are to place on it all the utensils used for ministering at the altar, including the firepans, meat forks, shovels and sprinkling bowls. Over it they are to spread a covering of the durable leather and put the poles in place. (niv)

2 Mose 39 1-2 Mose 39 43
From the blue, purple and scarlet yarn they made woven garments for ministering in the sanctuary. They also made sacred garments for Aaron, as the Lord commanded Moses.They made the ephod of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen.They hammered out thin sheets of gold and cut strands to be worked into the blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen— the work of skilled hands.They made shoulder pieces for the ephod, which were attached to two of its corners, so it could be fastened.Its skillfully woven waistband was like it— of one piece with the ephod and made with gold, and with blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and with finely twisted linen, as the Lord commanded Moses.They mounted the onyx stones in gold filigree settings and engraved them like a seal with the names of the sons of Israel.Then they fastened them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel, as the Lord commanded Moses.They fashioned the breastpiece— the work of a skilled craftsman. They made it like the ephod: of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen.It was square— a span long and a span wide— and folded double.Then they mounted four rows of precious stones on it. The first row was carnelian, chrysolite and beryl;the second row was turquoise, lapis lazuli and emerald;the third row was jacinth, agate and amethyst;the fourth row was topaz, onyx and jasper. They were mounted in gold filigree settings.There were twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.For the breastpiece they made braided chains of pure gold, like a rope.They made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings, and fastened the rings to two of the corners of the breastpiece.They fastened the two gold chains to the rings at the corners of the breastpiece,and the other ends of the chains to the two settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front.They made two gold rings and attached them to the other two corners of the breastpiece on the inside edge next to the ephod.Then they made two more gold rings and attached them to the bottom of the shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod, close to the seam just above the waistband of the ephod.They tied the rings of the breastpiece to the rings of the ephod with blue cord, connecting it to the waistband so that the breastpiece would not swing out from the ephod— as the Lord commanded Moses.They made the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth— the work of a weaver—with an opening in the center of the robe like the opening of a collar, and a band around this opening, so that it would not tear.They made pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen around the hem of the robe.And they made bells of pure gold and attached them around the hem between the pomegranates.The bells and pomegranates alternated around the hem of the robe to be worn for ministering, as the Lord commanded Moses.For Aaron and his sons, they made tunics of fine linen— the work of a weaver—and the turban of fine linen, the linen caps and the undergarments of finely twisted linen.The sash was made of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn— the work of an embroiderer— as the Lord commanded Moses.They made the plate, the sacred emblem, out of pure gold and engraved on it, like an inscription on a seal: holy to the Lord.Then they fastened a blue cord to it to attach it to the turban, as the Lord commanded Moses.So all the work on the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, was completed. The Israelites did everything just as the Lord commanded Moses.Then they brought the tabernacle to Moses: the tent and all its furnishings, its clasps, frames, crossbars, posts and bases;the covering of ram skins dyed red and the covering of another durable leather and the shielding curtain;the ark of the covenant law with its poles and the atonement cover;the table with all its articles and the bread of the Presence;the pure gold lampstand with its row of lamps and all its accessories, and the olive oil for the light;the gold altar, the anointing oil, the fragrant incense, and the curtain for the entrance to the tent;the bronze altar with its bronze grating, its poles and all its utensils; the basin with its stand;the curtains of the courtyard with its posts and bases, and the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard; the ropes and tent pegs for the courtyard; all the furnishings for the tabernacle, the tent of meeting;and the woven garments worn for ministering in the sanctuary, both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when serving as priests.The Israelites had done all the work just as the Lord had commanded Moses.Moses inspected the work and saw that they had done it just as the Lord had commanded. So Moses blessed them. (niv)

2 Mose 28 1-2 Mose 28 43
“ Have Aaron your brother brought to you from among the Israelites, along with his sons Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, so they may serve me as priests.Make sacred garments for your brother Aaron to give him dignity and honor.Tell all the skilled workers to whom I have given wisdom in such matters that they are to make garments for Aaron, for his consecration, so he may serve me as priest.These are the garments they are to make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a woven tunic, a turban and a sash. They are to make these sacred garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so they may serve me as priests.Have them use gold, and blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.“ Make the ephod of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen— the work of skilled hands.It is to have two shoulder pieces attached to two of its corners, so it can be fastened.Its skillfully woven waistband is to be like it— of one piece with the ephod and made with gold, and with blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and with finely twisted linen.“ Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israelin the order of their birth— six names on one stone and the remaining six on the other.Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the way a gem cutter engraves a seal. Then mount the stones in gold filigree settingsand fasten them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. Aaron is to bear the names on his shoulders as a memorial before the Lord.Make gold filigree settingsand two braided chains of pure gold, like a rope, and attach the chains to the settings.“ Fashion a breastpiece for making decisions— the work of skilled hands. Make it like the ephod: of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen.It is to be square— a span long and a span wide— and folded double.Then mount four rows of precious stones on it. The first row shall be carnelian, chrysolite and beryl;the second row shall be turquoise, lapis lazuli and emerald;the third row shall be jacinth, agate and amethyst;the fourth row shall be topaz, onyx and jasper. Mount them in gold filigree settings.There are to be twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.“ For the breastpiece make braided chains of pure gold, like a rope.Make two gold rings for it and fasten them to two corners of the breastpiece.Fasten the two gold chains to the rings at the corners of the breastpiece,and the other ends of the chains to the two settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front.Make two gold rings and attach them to the other two corners of the breastpiece on the inside edge next to the ephod.Make two more gold rings and attach them to the bottom of the shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod, close to the seam just above the waistband of the ephod.The rings of the breastpiece are to be tied to the rings of the ephod with blue cord, connecting it to the waistband, so that the breastpiece will not swing out from the ephod.“ Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he will bear the names of the sons of Israel over his heart on the breastpiece of decision as a continuing memorial before the Lord.Also put the Urim and the Thummim in the breastpiece, so they may be over Aaron’s heart whenever he enters the presence of the Lord. Thus Aaron will always bear the means of making decisions for the Israelites over his heart before the Lord.“ Make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth,with an opening for the head in its center. There shall be a woven edge like a collar around this opening, so that it will not tear.Make pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet yarn around the hem of the robe, with gold bells between them.The gold bells and the pomegranates are to alternate around the hem of the robe.Aaron must wear it when he ministers. The sound of the bells will be heard when he enters the Holy Place before the Lord and when he comes out, so that he will not die.“ Make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it as on a seal: holy to the Lord.Fasten a blue cord to it to attach it to the turban; it is to be on the front of the turban.It will be on Aaron’s forehead, and he will bear the guilt involved in the sacred gifts the Israelites consecrate, whatever their gifts may be. It will be on Aaron’s forehead continually so that they will be acceptable to the Lord.“ Weave the tunic of fine linen and make the turban of fine linen. The sash is to be the work of an embroiderer.Make tunics, sashes and caps for Aaron’s sons to give them dignity and honor.After you put these clothes on your brother Aaron and his sons, anoint and ordain them. Consecrate them so they may serve me as priests.“ Make linen undergarments as a covering for the body, reaching from the waist to the thigh.Aaron and his sons must wear them whenever they enter the tent of meeting or approach the altar to minister in the Holy Place, so that they will not incur guilt and die.“ This is to be a lasting ordinance for Aaron and his descendants.
