1Du sollst Aaron, deinen Bruder, und seine Söhne zu dir herantreten lassen aus der Mitte der Israeliten, dass er mein Priester sei, er und seine Söhne Nadab, Abihu, Eleasar und Itamar. (2Mo 6,23; 2Mo 39,1; 1Chr 23,13)2Und du sollst Aaron, deinem Bruder, heilige Kleider machen zur Ehre und als Schmuck3und sollst reden mit allen, die weisen Herzens sind, die ich mit dem Geist der Weisheit erfüllt habe, dass sie Aaron Kleider machen zu seiner Weihe, dass er mein Priester sei. (2Mo 31,3)4Dies sind aber die Kleider, die sie machen sollen: Brusttasche, Schurz, Obergewand, enges Untergewand, Kopfbund und Gürtel. So sollen sie heilige Kleider machen deinem Bruder Aaron und seinen Söhnen, dass er mein Priester sei.5Sie sollen Gold, blauen und roten Purpur, Karmesin und feines Leinen dazu nehmen. (2Mo 26,1)6Den Priesterschurz sollen sie machen aus Gold, blauem und rotem Purpur, Karmesin und gezwirntem feinem Leinen, kunstreich gewirkt.7Zwei Schulterteile soll er haben, die angefügt sind; an seinen beiden Enden soll er zusammengebunden werden.8Und die Binde, die daran ist, um ihn anlegen zu können, soll von derselben Arbeit und aus einem Stück mit ihm sein, aus Gold, blauem und rotem Purpur, Karmesin und gezwirntem feinem Leinen.9Und du sollst zwei Onyxsteine nehmen und darauf einschneiden die Namen der Söhne Israels, (2Mo 25,7)10auf jeden sechs Namen nach der Ordnung ihres Alters.11Du sollst die Namen der Söhne Israels in die Steine schneiden wie in ein Siegel, und sie sollen mit Gold eingefasst werden.12Und du sollst sie auf die Schulterteile des Schurzes heften, dass es Steine seien zum gnädigen Gedenken an die Israeliten, sodass Aaron ihre Namen auf seinen beiden Schultern trage vor dem HERRN, damit der HERR ihrer gedenke.13Und du sollst Goldfassungen machen14und zwei Ketten von feinem Golde; als geflochtene Schnüre sollst du sie machen und diese Schnüre an den Fassungen befestigen.15Die Brusttasche für die Lose zum Rechtsentscheid sollst du wie den Priesterschurz machen, kunstreich gewirkt, aus Gold, blauem und rotem Purpur, Karmesin und gezwirntem feinem Leinen.16Viereckig soll sie sein und doppelt gelegt; eine Spanne soll ihre Länge sein und eine Spanne ihre Breite.17Und du sollst sie besetzen mit vier Reihen von Steinen. Die erste Reihe sei ein Sarder, ein Topas und ein Smaragd,18die andere ein Rubin, ein Saphir und ein Diamant,19die dritte ein Lynkurer, ein Achat und ein Amethyst,20die vierte ein Türkis, ein Onyx und ein Jaspis; in Gold sollen sie gefasst sein, wenn man sie anbringt.21Zwölf sollen es sein wie auf einem Siegel nach den Namen der Söhne Israels, dass auf jedem ein Name stehe nach den zwölf Stämmen.22Und du sollst Ketten zu der Tasche wie geflochtene Schnüre machen aus feinem Golde23und zwei goldene Ringe für die Tasche, sodass du die beiden Ringe an zwei Ecken der Tasche heftest24und die beiden goldenen Schnüre in die beiden Ringe an den Ecken der Tasche tust.25Aber die beiden andern Enden der zwei Schnüre sollst du an den beiden goldenen Fassungen befestigen und sie an die Schulterteile des Priesterschurzes vorn anheften.26Und du sollst zwei andere goldene Ringe machen und an die beiden andern Ecken der Tasche heften an ihren Rand innen zum Schurz hin.27Und du sollst abermals zwei goldene Ringe machen und sie unten an die beiden Schulterteile vorn am Schurz anheften, wo der Schurz zusammengeht, oben über der Binde des Schurzes.28Und man soll die Tasche mit ihren Ringen mit einer Schnur von blauem Purpur an die Ringe des Schurzes knüpfen, dass sie über der Binde des Schurzes anliege und die Tasche sich nicht von dem Schurz losmache.29So soll Aaron die Namen der Söhne Israels in der Brusttasche auf seinem Herzen tragen, wenn er in das Heiligtum geht, zum gnädigen Gedenken vor dem HERRN allezeit.30Und du sollst in die Brusttasche tun die Lose »Licht und Recht«, sodass sie auf dem Herzen Aarons seien, wenn er hineingeht vor den HERRN, dass er die Entscheidungen für die Israeliten auf seinem Herzen trage vor dem HERRN allezeit. (3Mo 8,8; 4Mo 27,21; 5Mo 33,8)31Du sollst auch das Obergewand unter dem Schurz ganz aus blauem Purpur machen.32Und oben in der Mitte soll eine Öffnung sein und eine Borte um die Öffnung herum in Weberarbeit wie bei einem Panzerhemd, dass sie nicht einreiße.33Und unten an seinem Saum sollst du Granatäpfel machen aus blauem und rotem Purpur und Karmesin ringsherum und zwischen sie goldene Schellen auch ringsherum,34dass eine goldene Schelle sei, danach ein Granatapfel und wieder eine goldene Schelle und wieder ein Granatapfel ringsherum an dem Saum des Obergewandes.35Und Aaron soll es anhaben, wenn er dient, dass man seinen Klang höre, wenn er hineingeht ins Heiligtum vor den HERRN und wieder herauskommt; so wird er nicht sterben. (2Mo 30,21; 3Mo 16,2; 3Mo 16,13)36Du sollst auch ein Stirnblatt machen aus feinem Golde und darauf einschneiden, wie man Siegel schneidet: »Heilig dem HERRN«.37Und du sollst es heften an eine Schnur von blauem Purpur vorn an den Kopfbund.38Und es soll sein auf der Stirn Aarons, damit Aaron bei allen ihren Opfern alle Sünde trage, die an den heiligen Gaben der Israeliten haftet. Und es soll allezeit an seiner Stirn sein, dass sie wohlgefällig seien vor dem HERRN.39Du sollst auch das enge Untergewand aus feinem Leinen machen und einen Kopfbund aus feinem Leinen und einen bunt gewebten Gürtel.40Und den Söhnen Aarons sollst du Untergewänder, Gürtel und hohe Mützen machen zur Ehre und als Schmuck (2Mo 2,1)41und sollst sie deinem Bruder Aaron samt seinen Söhnen anlegen und sollst sie salben und ihre Hände füllen[1] und sie weihen, dass sie meine Priester seien. (2Mo 29,9; 2Mo 29,29; Ri 17,12)42Und du sollst ihnen leinene Beinkleider machen, um ihre Blöße zu bedecken, von den Hüften bis an die Schenkel.43Und Aaron und seine Söhne sollen sie anhaben, wenn sie in die Stiftshütte gehen oder hinzutreten zum Altar, um im Heiligtum zu dienen, damit sie keine Schuld auf sich laden und sterben müssen. Das soll für ihn und sein Geschlecht nach ihm eine ewige Ordnung sein.
1“Then bring near to you Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, from among the people of Israel, to serve me as priests—Aaron and Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. (2Mo 6,23; 4Mo 18,7; Hebr 5,4)2And you shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty. (2Mo 28,40; 2Mo 29,5; 2Mo 29,29; 2Mo 31,10; 2Mo 39,1; 3Mo 8,7; 3Mo 8,30; 4Mo 20,26; 4Mo 20,28)3You shall speak to all the skillful, whom I have filled with a spirit of skill, that they make Aaron’s garments to consecrate him for my priesthood. (2Mo 31,6; 2Mo 35,10; 2Mo 35,25; 2Mo 36,1)4These are the garments that they shall make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a coat of checker work, a turban, and a sash. They shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother and his sons to serve me as priests. (2Mo 28,6; 2Mo 28,15; 2Mo 28,31; 2Mo 28,39; 3Mo 8,7)5They shall receive gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen. (2Mo 25,3)6“And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and of fine twined linen, skillfully worked. (2Mo 39,2)7It shall have two shoulder pieces attached to its two edges, so that it may be joined together.8And the skillfully woven band on it shall be made like it and be of one piece with it, of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen. (2Mo 28,27; 2Mo 29,5; 2Mo 39,5; 3Mo 8,7)9You shall take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel,10six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the remaining six on the other stone, in the order of their birth.11As a jeweler engraves signets, so shall you engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel. You shall enclose them in settings of gold filigree.12And you shall set the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, as stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord on his two shoulders for remembrance. (2Mo 28,29; 4Mo 16,40; Jos 4,7; Sach 6,14)13You shall make settings of gold filigree,14and two chains of pure gold, twisted like cords; and you shall attach the corded chains to the settings.15“You shall make a breastpiece of judgment, in skilled work. In the style of the ephod you shall make it—of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen shall you make it. (2Mo 39,8)16It shall be square and doubled, a span[1] its length and a span its breadth.17You shall set in it four rows of stones. A row of sardius,[2] topaz, and carbuncle shall be the first row; (Hes 28,13; Offb 21,19)18and the second row an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond;19and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;20and the fourth row a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They shall be set in gold filigree.21There shall be twelve stones with their names according to the names of the sons of Israel. They shall be like signets, each engraved with its name, for the twelve tribes.22You shall make for the breastpiece twisted chains like cords, of pure gold.23And you shall make for the breastpiece two rings of gold, and put the two rings on the two edges of the breastpiece.24And you shall put the two cords of gold in the two rings at the edges of the breastpiece.25The two ends of the two cords you shall attach to the two settings of filigree, and so attach it in front to the shoulder pieces of the ephod.26You shall make two rings of gold, and put them at the two ends of the breastpiece, on its inside edge next to the ephod.27And you shall make two rings of gold, and attach them in front to the lower part of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, at its seam above the skillfully woven band of the ephod. (2Mo 28,8)28And they shall bind the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, so that it may lie on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, so that the breastpiece shall not come loose from the ephod.29So Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel in the breastpiece of judgment on his heart, when he goes into the Holy Place, to bring them to regular remembrance before the Lord. (2Mo 28,12; 2Mo 28,30)30And in the breastpiece of judgment you shall put the Urim and the Thummim, and they shall be on Aaron’s heart, when he goes in before the Lord. Thus Aaron shall bear the judgment of the people of Israel on his heart before the Lord regularly. (3Mo 8,8; 4Mo 27,21; 5Mo 33,8; 1Sam 23,9; 1Sam 28,6; 1Sam 30,7; Esr 2,63; Neh 7,65)31“You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue. (2Mo 39,22)32It shall have an opening for the head in the middle of it, with a woven binding around the opening, like the opening in a garment,[3] so that it may not tear.33On its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet yarns, around its hem, with bells of gold between them,34a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, around the hem of the robe.35And it shall be on Aaron when he ministers, and its sound shall be heard when he goes into the Holy Place before the Lord, and when he comes out, so that he does not die.36“You shall make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it, like the engraving of a signet, ‘Holy to the Lord.’ (3Mo 8,9; Sach 14,20)37And you shall fasten it on the turban by a cord of blue. It shall be on the front of the turban.38It shall be on Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron shall bear any guilt from the holy things that the people of Israel consecrate as their holy gifts. It shall regularly be on his forehead, that they may be accepted before the Lord. (3Mo 10,17; 4Mo 18,1; Jes 53,11; Hes 4,4; Joh 1,29; Hebr 9,28; 1Petr 2,24)39“You shall weave the coat in checker work of fine linen, and you shall make a turban of fine linen, and you shall make a sash embroidered with needlework.40“For Aaron’s sons you shall make coats and sashes and caps. You shall make them for glory and beauty. (2Mo 28,2; 2Mo 39,27; 2Mo 39,41; Hes 44,17)41And you shall put them on Aaron your brother, and on his sons with him, and shall anoint them and ordain them and consecrate them, that they may serve me as priests. (2Mo 29,7; 2Mo 29,9; 2Mo 30,30; 2Mo 40,13; 2Mo 40,15; 3Mo 10,7; 3Mo 21,10; Hebr 7,28)42You shall make for them linen undergarments to cover their naked flesh. They shall reach from the hips to the thighs; (3Mo 6,10; 3Mo 16,4; Hes 44,18)43and they shall be on Aaron and on his sons when they go into the tent of meeting or when they come near the altar to minister in the Holy Place, lest they bear guilt and die. This shall be a statute forever for him and for his offspring after him. (2Mo 27,21; 3Mo 5,1; 3Mo 5,17; 3Mo 20,19)
2.Mose 28
King James Version
1And take thou unto thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me in the priest' office, even Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron' sons.2And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty.3And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron' garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the priest' office.4And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest' office.5And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.6And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work.7It shall have the two shoulderpieces thereof joined at the two edges thereof; and so it shall be joined together.8And the curious girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according to the work thereof; even of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.9And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel:10Six of their names on one stone, and the other six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.11With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel: thou shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold.12And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod for stones of memorial unto the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.13And thou shalt make ouches of gold;14And two chains of pure gold at the ends; of wreathen work shalt thou make them, and fasten the wreathen chains to the ouches.15And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twined linen, shalt thou make it.16Foursquare it shall be being doubled; a span shall be the length thereof, and a span shall be the breadth thereof.17And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this shall be the first row.18And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.19And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.20And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.21And the stones shall be with the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet; every one with his name shall they be according to the twelve tribes.22And thou shalt make upon the breastplate chains at the ends of wreathen work of pure gold.23And thou shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.24And thou shalt put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the breastplate.25And the other two ends of the two wreathen chains thou shalt fasten in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod before it.26And thou shalt make two rings of gold, and thou shalt put them upon the two ends of the breastplate in the border thereof, which is in the side of the ephod inward.27And two other rings of gold thou shalt make, and shalt put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart thereof, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.28And they shall bind the breastplate by the rings thereof unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it may be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate be not loosed from the ephod.29And Aaron shall bear the names of the children of Israel in the breastplate of judgment upon his heart, when he goeth in unto the holy place , for a memorial before the LORD continually.30And thou shalt put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim; and they shall be upon Aaron' heart, when he goeth in before the LORD: and Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel upon his heart before the LORD continually.31And thou shalt make the robe of the ephod all of blue.32And there shall be an hole in the top of it, in the midst thereof: it shall have a binding of woven work round about the hole of it, as it were the hole of an habergeon, that it be not rent.33And beneath upon the hem of it thou shalt make pomegranates of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, round about the hem thereof; and bells of gold between them round about:34A golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe round about.35And it shall be upon Aaron to minister: and his sound shall be heard when he goeth in unto the holy place before the LORD, and when he cometh out, that he die not.36And thou shalt make a plate of pure gold, and grave upon it, like the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.37And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.38And it shall be upon Aaron' forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before the LORD.39And thou shalt embroider the coat of fine linen, and thou shalt make the mitre of fine linen, and thou shalt make the girdle of needlework.40And for Aaron' sons thou shalt make coats, and thou shalt make for them girdles, and bonnets shalt thou make for them, for glory and for beauty.41And thou shalt put them upon Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him; and shalt anoint them, and consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister unto me in the priest' office.42And thou shalt make them linen breeches to cover their nakedness; from the loins even unto the thighs they shall reach:43And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place ; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute for ever unto him and his seed after him.
