12 要将这两块宝石安在以弗得的两条肩带上，为以色列人做纪念石。亚伦要在两肩上担他们的名字，在耶和华面前作为纪念。

Tie the rings of the breastpiece to the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue thread, so that the breastpiece won't come loose from the ephod.
29 亚伦进圣所的时候，要将决断胸牌，就是刻着以色列儿子名字的，带在胸前，在耶和华面前常作纪念。
Like this, whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he will wear the names of the Israelite tribes over his heart on the breastpiece, as a constant reminder before the Lord.
30 又要将乌陵和土明放在决断的胸牌里；亚伦进到耶和华面前的时候，要带在胸前，在耶和华面前常将以色列人的决断牌带在胸前。”
Place the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece of decision, so that they too will be over Aaron's heart whenever he comes into the Lord's presence. Aaron will continually carry the means of gaining decisions over his heart before the Lord.

37 要用一条蓝细带子将牌系在冠冕的前面。
Attach it to the front of the turban using a blue cord.
38 这牌必在亚伦的额上，亚伦要担当干犯圣物条例的罪孽；这圣物是以色列人在一切的圣礼物上所分别为圣的。这牌要常在他的额上，使他们可以在耶和华面前蒙悦纳。
Aaron will wear it on his forehead, so that he may take responsibility for the guilt of the offerings the Israelites make, and this applies to all their holy gifts. It must always remain on his forehead in order that the people are accepted in the Lord's presence.

Put these clothes on your brother Aaron and his sons and then anoint them and ordain them. Dedicate them so that they can serve me as priests.
42 要给他们做细麻布裤子，遮掩下体；裤子当从腰达到大腿。
Make linen undershorts to cover their bare bodies, reaching from waist to thigh.
43 亚伦和他儿子进入会幕，或就近坛，在圣所供职的时候必穿上，免得担罪而死。这要为亚伦和他的后裔作永远的定例。”
Aaron and his sons are to wear them when they enter the Tent of Meeting or when they approach the altar to serve in the Holy Place, so that they will not bring guilt on themselves and die. This is a law for Aaron and his descendants forever.
