38 Hiasan emas itu harus dipasang Harun pada dahinya supaya Aku, TUHAN, mau menerima semua persembahan yang dibawa orang Israel kepada-Ku, walaupun dalam membawa persembahan itu mereka telah berbuat kesalahan.
Aaron must always wear this on his forehead. In that way, Aaron himself will show [that he accepts] the guilt if the Israeli people offer [their sacrifices] to me in a way that is not correct, and I, Yahweh, will accept their sacrifices.
39 Kemeja Harun harus ditenun dari linen halus. Buatlah juga sebuah serban dari linen halus dan ikat pinggang yang disulam.

Put these clothes on your [older] brother Aaron and on his sons. Then (set them apart/dedicate them) for this work by anointing them [with olive oil], in order that they may serve me [by being] priests.
42 Lalu buatlah untuk mereka celana pendek dari kain linen, panjangnya dari pinggang sampai ke paha untuk menutupi bagian badan yang tidak pantas dilihat.
Also [tell them to] make linen undershorts for them. The undershorts should extend from their waists to their thighs, in order that no one can see their private parts.
43 Celana itu harus selalu mereka pakai pada waktu masuk ke dalam Kemah-Ku atau mendekati mezbah untuk melakukan ibadat sebagai imam di Ruang Suci, supaya mereka tidak mati karena terlihat bagian badan mereka yang kurang pantas dilihat. Peraturan itu tetap berlaku untuk Harun dan keturunannya."
Aaron and his sons must always wear those undershorts when they enter the Sacred Tent or when they come near to the altar to offer sacrifices in the Holy Place. If they do not obey this command, I will cause them to die. Aaron and all his male descendants must obey this rule forever.”
