The Priestly Garments

28 “Have Aaron^(A) your brother brought to you from among the Israelites, along with his sons Nadab and Abihu,^(B) Eleazar and Ithamar,^(C) so they may serve me as priests.^{(D) 2} Make sacred garments^(E) for your brother Aaron to give him dignity and honor.^{(F) 3} Tell all the skilled workers^(G) to whom I have given wisdom^(H) in such matters that they are to make garments for Aaron, for his consecration, so he may serve me as priest. ⁴ These are the garments they are to make: a breastpiece,^(I) an ephod,^(J) a robe,^(K) a woven tunic,^(L) a turban^(M) and a sash. They are to make these sacred garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so they may serve me as priests.

²⁸ I chose^(A) your ancestor out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest, to go up to my altar, to burn incense,^(B) and to wear an ephod^(C) in my presence. I also gave your ancestor’s family all the food offerings^(D) presented by the Israelites.

³⁵ This is the portion of the food offerings presented to the Lord that were allotted to Aaron and his sons on the day they were presented to serve the Lord as priests. ³⁶ On the day they were anointed,^(A) the Lord commanded that the Israelites give this to them as their perpetual share for the generations to come.
