出埃及記 28:1-43

祭司聖衣的規定

1「你要從以色列百姓當中把你的哥哥亞倫和他四個兒子——拿答亞比戶以利亞撒以他瑪帶到你身邊,立他們為祭司事奉我。 2你要為你哥哥亞倫做一件聖衣,顯出他職位的榮耀和尊貴。 3你要吩咐所有我賦予智慧的巧手裁縫師為亞倫縫製衣服,使他分別出來,做聖潔的祭司事奉我。 4他們要做的聖衣包括胸牌、以弗得、外袍、雜色的內袍、禮冠和腰帶。要為你哥哥亞倫及其眾子做這樣的聖衣,好讓他們做祭司事奉我。 5要用金線和細麻線及藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線製作聖衣。

以弗得

6「以弗得要用金線和細麻線及藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線精工製作。 7要在以弗得兩邊用兩條肩帶縫合起來。 8用金線和細麻線及藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線精工製作一條帶子,縫在以弗得上,連成一整件。

9「你要找兩塊紅瑪瑙,刻上以色列十二個兒子的名字, 10按他們的長幼次序,每一塊寶石刻上六個名字。 11要用工匠雕刻圖章的方法將他們的名字刻在兩塊寶石上,把寶石鑲在兩個金框裡面。 12然後將鑲著金框的寶石縫在以弗得的兩條肩帶上,作以色列人的紀念石。亞倫要把他們的名字放在肩上,在耶和華面前作紀念。 13要做兩個金框, 14並像搓繩子一樣用純金搓成兩條金鏈,把鏈子連接在鑲寶石的金框上。

胸牌

15「要精心製作一個用來明白上帝旨意的胸牌,製作的方法和造以弗得一樣,用金線和細麻線及藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線製作。 16胸牌是方形的,長寬各二十二釐米,分成上下兩層。 17上面要鑲上四行寶石:第一行是紅寶石、黃玉和翠玉; 18第二行是綠寶石、藍寶石和金剛石; 19第三行是紫瑪瑙、白瑪瑙和紫晶; 20第四行是水蒼玉、紅瑪瑙和碧玉。這些寶石都要用金框圍著,鑲在胸牌上。 21要用刻圖章的方法在每一顆寶石上刻一個以色列兒子的名字,十二顆寶石代表十二支派。

22「要用純金擰成兩條像繩子一樣的鏈子,連在胸牌上, 23造兩個金環安在胸牌兩端, 24把鏈子穿在金環上, 25再把金鏈的另一端接在以弗得肩帶的兩個金框上。 26造兩個金環,安在胸牌下端靠近以弗得內側的兩邊。 27再造兩個金環安在以弗得前面兩條肩帶的下端,靠近接縫處,在精緻的以弗得腰帶上方。 28再用一條藍色的繩子繫住以弗得和胸牌上面的金環,使胸牌貼在精工織成的以弗得腰帶上,不會從以弗得上鬆脫。 29亞倫進聖所時,要佩戴這塊刻著以色列眾子名字的胸牌,在耶和華面前常作紀念。 30又要把烏陵和土明放在胸牌裡面,亞倫到耶和華面前的時候,要佩帶這胸牌,以便明白上帝的旨意,為以色列人做決定。

外袍

31「也要縫製一件藍色的以弗得的外袍, 32袍上要留領口,還要在領口周圍織領邊,好像鎧甲上的領口,免得領口破裂。 33外袍的底邊要另外用藍色、紫色、朱紅色的線做成石榴狀的飾物,石榴中間要掛金鈴鐺。 34一個石榴一個金鈴鐺,相間排列,圍在外袍的底邊。 35亞倫事奉的時候,要穿上這外袍,以便他進聖所到耶和華面前和出聖所的時候,鈴鐺會發出響聲,他就不至於死。

36「你也要用純金造一塊牌子,以刻印章的方法刻上『奉獻給耶和華』的字樣, 37再拿一條藍色帶子,把它繫在禮冠前面。 38亞倫要把這金牌戴在額上,表示他承擔以色列人獻聖物時的過犯,這聖物是以色列百姓特別獻上的禮物。這金牌要常常留在亞倫的額上,好使百姓蒙耶和華悅納。

39「要用雜色的細麻線織成祭司的內袍,用細麻布做禮冠,腰帶上要有刺繡, 40也要為亞倫的兒子們縫製內袍、腰帶、帽子,顯出他們職位的榮耀和尊貴。 41你哥哥亞倫及其眾子穿上這些衣服後,你要用油膏立他們,使他們分別出來,做聖潔的祭司事奉我。

褲子

42「要用細麻布為他們做褲子,以遮蓋下體,褲子要從腰部到大腿。 43亞倫父子們進出會幕或到聖所的祭壇事奉的時候,都要穿上褲子,免得因為觸犯聖禮而死亡。這是亞倫及其子孫永遠當遵守的條例。

Exodus 28:1-43

The Clothes for the Priests

1“Have your brother Aaron brought to you from among the Israelites. His sons Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar must also be brought. They will serve me as priests. 2Make sacred clothes for your brother Aaron. When he is wearing them, people will honor him. They will have respect for him. 3Speak to all the skilled workers. I have given them the skill to do this kind of work. Tell them to make clothes for Aaron. He will wear them when he is set apart to serve me as priest. 4The workers must make a chest cloth, a linen apron and an outer robe. They must also make an inner robe, a turban and a belt. They must make sacred clothes for your brother Aaron and his sons. Then they will serve me as priests. 5Have the workers use thin gold wire, and blue, purple and bright red yarn, and fine linen.

The Linen Apron

6“Make the linen apron out of thin gold wire, and out of blue, purple and bright red yarn, and out of finely twisted linen. Have a skilled worker make it. 7It must have two shoulder straps joined to two of its corners. 8Its skillfully made waistband must be like the apron. The waistband must be part of the apron itself. Make the waistband out of thin gold wire, and out of blue, purple and bright red yarn, and out of finely twisted linen.

9“Get two onyx stones. Carve the names of the sons of Israel on them. 10Arrange them in the order of their birth. Carve six names on one stone and six on the other. 11Carve the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the way a jewel cutter would carve them. Then put the stones in fancy gold settings. 12Connect them to the shoulder straps of the linen apron. The stones will stand for the sons of Israel. Aaron must carry the names on his shoulders as a constant reminder while he is serving the Lord. 13Make fancy gold settings. 14Make two braided chains out of pure gold. Make them like ropes. Join the chains to the settings.

The Chest Cloth

15“Make a chest cloth that will be used for making decisions. Have a skilled worker make it. Make it like the linen apron. Use thin gold wire, and blue, purple and bright red yarn, and finely twisted linen. 16Make it nine inches square. Fold it in half. 17Put four rows of valuable jewels on it. Put carnelian, chrysolite and beryl in the first row. 18Put turquoise, lapis lazuli and emerald in the second row. 19Put jacinth, agate and amethyst in the third row. 20And put topaz, onyx and jasper in the fourth row. Put them in fancy gold settings. 21Use a total of 12 stones. Use one for each of the names of the sons of Israel. Each stone must be carved with the name of one of the 12 tribes.

22“Make braided chains out of pure gold for the chest cloth. Make them like ropes. 23Make two gold rings for the chest cloth. Connect them to two corners of it. 24Join the two gold chains to the rings at the corners of the chest cloth. 25Join the other ends of the chains to the two settings. Join them to the shoulder straps on the front of the linen apron. 26Make two gold rings. Connect them to the other two corners of the chest cloth. Put them on the inside edge next to the apron. 27Make two more gold rings. Connect them to the bottom of the shoulder straps on the front of the apron. Put them close to the seam. Put them right above the waistband of the apron. 28The rings of the chest cloth must be tied to the rings of the apron. Tie them to the waistband with blue cord. Then the chest cloth will not swing out from the linen apron.

29“When Aaron enters the Holy Room, he will carry the names of the sons of Israel over his heart. Their names will be on the chest cloth of decision. They will be a continuing reminder while he is serving the Lord. 30Also put the Urim and Thummim into the chest cloth. Then they will be over Aaron’s heart when he comes to serve the Lord. In that way, Aaron will always have what he needs to make decisions for the people of Israel. He will carry the Urim and Thummim over his heart while he is serving the Lord.

More Clothes for the Priests

31“Make the outer robe of the linen apron completely out of blue cloth. 32In the center of the robe, make an opening for the head of the priest. Make an edge like a collar around the opening. Then it will not tear. 33Make pomegranates out of blue, purple and bright red yarn. Sew them around the hem of the robe. Sew gold bells between them. 34Sew a gold bell between every two pomegranates all around the hem of the robe. 35Aaron must wear the robe when he serves as priest. The bells will jingle when he enters the Holy Room while he is serving the Lord. And they will jingle when he goes out. Then he will not die.

36“Make a plate out of pure gold. Carve words on it as if it were an official seal. Carve the words

Set Apart for the Lord.

37Tie the plate to the front of the turban with a blue cord. 38Aaron must wear this plate on his forehead all the time. He will be held responsible for all the sacred gifts the Israelites set apart. Then the Lord will accept the gifts.

39“Make the inner robe out of fine linen. And make the turban out of fine linen. The belt must be made by a person who sews skillfully. 40Make inner robes, belts and caps for Aaron’s sons. When they are wearing them, people will honor his sons. They will also have respect for them. 41Put all these clothes on your brother Aaron and his sons. Then pour olive oil on them and prepare them to serve me. Set them apart to serve me as priests.

42“Make linen underwear that reaches from the waist to the thigh. 43Aaron and the priests in his family line must wear it when they enter the tent of meeting. They must also wear it when they approach the altar to serve in the Holy Room. Then they will not be found guilty and die.

“For all time to come, that will be a law for Aaron and the priests in his family line.
