4 所要做的就是胸牌、以弗得、外袍、雜色的內袍、冠冕、腰帶，使你哥哥亞倫和他兒子穿這聖服，可以給我供祭司的職分。
These are the clothes for them to make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a pleated tunic, a turban, and a sash. These are the holy clothes they shall make for your brother Aaron and his sons so that they can serve me as priests.
5 要用金線和藍色、紫色、朱紅色線，並細麻去做。
The workers are to use gold thread, together with blue, purple, and crimson thread, and finely-spun linen.

11 要用刻寶石的手工，彷彿刻圖書，按着以色列兒子的名字，刻這兩塊寶石，要鑲在金槽上。
Engrave the names on the two stones the same way a jeweler engraves a personal seal. Then place the stones in ornamental gold settings.
12 要將這兩塊寶石安在以弗得的兩條肩帶上，為以色列人做紀念石。亞倫要在兩肩上擔他們的名字，在耶和華面前作為紀念。
Attach both stones to the shoulder pieces of the ephod as reminders for the Israelite tribes. Aaron is to wear their names on his two shoulders to remind the Israelites that he represents them when he goes into the Lord's presence.
13 要用金子做二槽，
Make ornamental gold settings
14 又拿精金，用擰工彷彿擰繩子，做兩條鍊子，把這擰成的鍊子搭在二槽上。」

28 要用藍細帶子把胸牌的環子與以弗得的環子繫住，使胸牌貼在以弗得巧工織的帶子上，不可與以弗得離縫。
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 亞倫進聖所的時候，要將決斷胸牌，就是刻着以色列兒子名字的，帶在胸前，在耶和華面前常作紀念。
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 又要將烏陵和土明放在決斷的胸牌裏；亞倫進到耶和華面前的時候，要帶在胸前，在耶和華面前常將以色列人的決斷牌帶在胸前。」
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.
31 「你要做以弗得的外袍，顏色全是藍的。
Make the robe that goes with the ephod exclusively from blue cloth,
32 袍上要為頭留一領口，口的周圍織出領邊來，彷彿鎧甲的領口，免得破裂。

34 一個金鈴鐺一個石榴，一個金鈴鐺一個石榴，在袍子周圍的底邊上。
having the gold bells and the pomegranates alternate.
35 亞倫供職的時候要穿這袍子。他進聖所到耶和華面前，以及出來的時候，袍上的響聲必被聽見，使他不至於死亡。
Aaron is to wear the robe whenever he serves, and the sound it makes will be heard when he enters or leaves the sanctuary as he goes into the Lord's presence, so that he won't die.
36 「你要用精金做一面牌，在上面按刻圖書之法刻着『歸耶和華為聖』。
Make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it like a seal, “Holy to the Lord.”
37 要用一條藍細帶子將牌繫在冠冕的前面。
Attach it to the front of the turban using a blue cord.
38 這牌必在亞倫的額上，亞倫要擔當干犯聖物條例的罪孽；這聖物是以色列人在一切的聖禮物上所分別為聖的。這牌要常在他的額上，使他們可以在耶和華面前蒙悅納。
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.
39 要用雜色細麻線織內袍，用細麻布做冠冕，又用繡花的手工做腰帶。
Weave the tunic with finely-spun linen and make the turban of the same material, and also make sash and have it embroidered.
40 「你要為亞倫的兒子做內袍、腰帶、裹頭巾，為榮耀，為華美。
Make tunics, sashes, and headdresses for Aaron's sons, so that they will look splendid and dignified.
41 要把這些給你的哥哥亞倫和他的兒子穿戴，又要膏他們，將他們分別為聖，好給我供祭司的職分。
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 要給他們做細麻布褲子，遮掩下體；褲子當從腰達到大腿。
Make linen undershorts to cover their bare bodies, reaching from waist to thigh.
43 亞倫和他兒子進入會幕，或就近壇，在聖所供職的時候必穿上，免得擔罪而死。這要為亞倫和他的後裔作永遠的定例。」
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.
