11 opere sculptoris et celatura gemmarii sculpes eos nominibus filiorum Israhel inclusos auro atque circumdatos

the work of an engraver in stone, openings of a signet, thou dost open the two stones by the names of the sons of Israel; turned round, embroidered [with] gold, thou dost make them.

12 et pones in utroque latere superumeralis memoriale filiis Israhel portabitque Aaron nomina eorum coram Domino super utrumque umerum ob recordationem

14 et duas catenulas auri purissimi sibi invicem coherentes quas inseres uncinis

22 facies in rationali catenas sibi invicem coherentes ex auro purissimo

and thou hast made two rings of gold, and hast put them on the two shoulders of the ephod, beneath, over-against its front, over-against its joining, above the girdle of the ephod,

'And Aaron hath borne the names of the sons of Israel in the breastplate of judgment, on his heart, in his going in unto the sanctuary, for a memorial before Jehovah continually.

'And thou hast put unto the breastplate of judgment the Lights and the Perfections, and they have been on the heart of Aaron, in his going in before Jehovah, and Aaron hath borne the judgment of the sons of Israel on his heart before Jehovah continually.

31 facies et tunicam superumeralis totam hyacinthinam

'And thou hast made the upper robe of the ephod completely of blue,

32 in cuius medio supra erit capitium et ora per gyrum eius textilis sicut fieri solet in extremis vestium partibus ne facile rumpatur

and the opening for its head hath been in its midst, a border is to its opening round about, work of a weaver, as the opening of a habergeon there is to it; it is not rent.

33 deorsum vero ad pedes eiusdem tunicae per circuitum quasi mala punica facies ex hyacintho et purpura et cocco bis tincto mixtis in medio tintinabulis

'And thou hast made on its hem pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, on its hem round about, and bells of gold in their midst round about;

34 ita ut tintinabulum sit aureum et malum rursumque tintinabulum aliud aureum et malum punicum

a bell of gold and a pomegranate, a bell of gold and a pomegranate [are] on the hems of the upper robe round about.

35 et vestietur ea Aaron in officio ministerii ut audiatur sonitus quando ingreditur et egreditur sanctuarium in conspectu Domini et non moriatur

'And it hath been on Aaron to minister in, and its sound hath been heard in his coming in unto the sanctuary before Jehovah, and in his going out, and he doth not die.

36 facies et lamminam de auro purissimo in qua sculpes opere celatoris Sanctum Domino

37 ligabisque eam vitta hyacinthina et erit super tiaram

38 inminens fronti pontificis portabitque Aaron iniquitates eorum quae obtulerint et sanctificaverint filii Israhel in cunctis muneribus et donariis suis erit autem lammina semper in fronte eius ut placatus eis sit Dominus

and it hath been on the forehead of Aaron, and Aaron hath borne the iniquity of the holy things which the sons of Israel do hallow, even all their holy gifts; and it hath been on his forehead continually for a pleasing thing for them before Jehovah.

39 stringesque tunicam bysso et tiaram byssinam facies et balteum opere plumarii

40 porro filiis Aaron tunicas lineas parabis et balteos ac tiaras in gloriam et decorem

'And for the sons of Aaron thou dost make coats, and thou hast made for them girdles, yea, bonnets thou dost make for them, for honour and for beauty;

41 vestiesque his omnibus Aaron fratrem tuum et filios eius cum eo et cunctorum consecrabis manus sanctificabisque illos ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi

and thou hast clothed Aaron thy brother with them, and his sons with him, and hast anointed them, and hast consecrated their hand, and hast sanctified them, and they have been priests to Me.

42 facies et feminalia linea ut operiant carnem turpitudinis suae a renibus usque ad femina

'And make thou for them linen trousers to cover the naked flesh: they are from the loins even unto the thighs;

43 et utentur eis Aaron et filii eius quando ingredientur tabernaculum testimonii vel quando adpropinquant ad altare ut ministrent in sanctuario ne iniquitatis rei moriantur legitimum sempiternum erit Aaron et semini eius post eum

and they have been on Aaron and on his sons, in their going in unto the tent of meeting, or in their drawing nigh unto the altar to minister in the sanctuary, and they do not bear iniquity nor have they died; a statute age-during to him, and to his seed after him.
