Bezalel, Oholiab, and the other skilled workmen made the beautiful clothes for Aaron to wear while he did his work as a priest in the Holy Place. They made them from blue, purple, and red cloth, just as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.

They hammered some thin sheets of gold and cut them into thin strips which they embroidered into the fine linen and into the blue, purple, and red cloth.

It was square, and the material was folded double, so that it was (9 in./22 cm.) long and (9 in./22 cm.) wide.

On each of the twelve stones they engraved the name of one of the sons of Jacob, to represent one of the twelve Israeli tribes.

They tied the rings on the sacred pouch to the rings on the sacred apron with a blue cord, so that the sacred pouch was above the sash/waistband and would not come loose from the sacred apron.
