3 Speak to all the people to whom I have given the ability to make clothes. Tell these skilled craftsmen to make the clothes for Aaron. Use these clothes to make him belong to me. Then he may serve me as a priest.
4 These are the clothes they must make: a chest covering, a holy vest, an outer robe, a woven inner robe, a turban and a cloth belt. The craftsmen must make these holy clothes. They are for your brother Aaron and his sons. Then Aaron and his sons may serve me as priests.
5 The craftsmen must use gold and blue, purple and red thread, and fine linen.
6 “Use gold and blue, purple and red thread, and fine linen to make the holy vest. The craftsmen are to make this holy vest.
7 At each top corner of this holy vest there will be a pair of shoulder straps. These are to be tied together over each shoulder.
8 “The craftsmen will very carefully weave a belt on the holy vest. Make the belt with gold and blue, purple and red thread, and fine linen.
9 “Take two onyx stones. Write the name of the 12 sons of Israel on these jewels.
