Exodus 28

English Standard Version

The Priests’ Garments

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. (Ex 6:23; Nu 18:7; Heb 5:4) 

2 And you shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty. (Ex 28:40; Ex 29:5; Ex 29:29; Ex 31:10; Ex 39:1; Le 8:7; Le 8:30; Nu 20:26; Nu 20:28) 

3 You 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. (Ex 31:6; Ex 35:10; Ex 35:25; Ex 36:1) 

4 These 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. (Ex 28:6; Ex 28:15; Ex 28:31; Ex 28:39; Le 8:7) 

5 They shall receive gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen. (Ex 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. (Ex 39:2) 

7 It shall have two shoulder pieces attached to its two edges, so that it may be joined together. 

8 And 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. (Ex 28:27; Ex 29:5; Ex 39:5; Le 8:7) 

9 You shall take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel, 

10 six of their names on the one stone, and the names of the remaining six on the other stone, in the order of their birth. 

11 As 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. 

12 And 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. (Ex 28:29; Nu 16:40; Jos 4:7; Zec 6:14) 

13 You shall make settings of gold filigree, 

14 and 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. (Ex 39:8) 

16 It shall be square and doubled, a span its length and a span its breadth. 

17 You shall set in it four rows of stones. A row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle shall be the first row; (Eze 28:13; Re 21:19) 

18 and the second row an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond; 

19 and the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; 

20 and the fourth row a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They shall be set in gold filigree. 

21 There 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. 

22 You shall make for the breastpiece twisted chains like cords, of pure gold. 

23 And you shall make for the breastpiece two rings of gold, and put the two rings on the two edges of the breastpiece. 

24 And you shall put the two cords of gold in the two rings at the edges of the breastpiece. 

25 The 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. 

26 You shall make two rings of gold, and put them at the two ends of the breastpiece, on its inside edge next to the ephod. 

27 And 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. (Ex 28:8) 

28 And 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. 

29 So 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. (Ex 28:12; Ex 28:30) 

30 And 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. (Le 8:8; Nu 27:21; De 33:8; 1Sa 23:9; 1Sa 28:6; 1Sa 30:7; Ezr 2:63; Ne 7:65) 

31 “You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue. (Ex 39:22) 

32 It 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, so that it may not tear. 

33 On its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet yarns, around its hem, with bells of gold between them, 

34 a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, around the hem of the robe. 

35 And 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.’ (Le 8:9; Zec 14:20) 

37 And you shall fasten it on the turban by a cord of blue. It shall be on the front of the turban. 

38 It 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. (Le 10:17; Nu 18:1; Isa 53:11; Eze 4:4; Joh 1:29; Heb 9:28; 1Pe 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. (Ex 28:2; Ex 39:27; Ex 39:41; Eze 44:17) 

41 And 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. (Ex 29:7; Ex 29:9; Ex 30:30; Ex 40:13; Ex 40:15; Le 10:7; Le 21:10; Heb 7:28) 

42 You shall make for them linen undergarments to cover their naked flesh. They shall reach from the hips to the thighs; (Le 6:10; Le 16:4; Eze 44:18) 

43 and 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. (Ex 27:21; Le 5:1; Le 5:17; Le 20:19)

Exodus 28

الكتاب المقدس

ثياب الكهنة

1 وَافْرِزْ لِي هَرُونَ أَخَاكَ وَأَوْلادَهُ: نَادَابَ وَأَبِيهُوَ وَأَلِعَازَارَ وَإِيثَامَارَ، مِنْ بَيْنِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، لِيَكُونُوا لِي كَهَنَةً. 

2 وَاصْنَعْ لأَخِيكَ هَرُونَ ثِيَاباً مُقَدَّسَةً لِتُضْفِيَ عَلَيْهِ مَجْداً وَبَهَاءً. 

3 وَخَاطِبْ كُلَّ ذِي مَهَارَةٍ مِمَّنْ وَهَبْتُهُمْ رُوحَ الْبَرَاعَةِ فِي الْحِيَاكَةِ لِيَصْنَعُوا ثِيَابَ هَرُونَ لِتَقْدِيسِهِ، فَيَكُونَ كَاهِناً لِي. 

4 وَهَذِهِ هِيَ الثِّيَابُ الَّتِي يَتَوَجَّبُ عَلَيْهِمْ صِنَاعَتُهَا: صُدْرَةٌ وَرِدَاءٌ وَجُبَّةٌ وَقَمِيصٌ مُخَرَّمٌ وَعِمَامَةٌ وَحِزَامٌ، يَصْنَعُونَهَا ثِيَاباً مُقَدَّسَةً لِهَرُونَ وَأَوْلادِهِ، لِيَكُونُوا كَهَنَةً لِي. 

5 وَلْيَسْتَخْدِمُوا فِي حِيَاكَتِهَا خُيُوطاً ذَهَبِيَّةً وَزَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسِجِيَّةً وَحَمْرَاءَ وَالْكَتَّانَ الْفَاخِرَ. 

الرداء أو الأفود

6 وَلْيَقُمْ أَمْهَرُ الخَيَّاطِينَ عَلَى صِنَاعَةِ الرِّدَاءِ مِنْ خُيُوطٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ وَزَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسَجِيَّةٍ وَحَمْرَاءَ وَمِنَ الكَتَّانِ الْمَبْرُومِ. 

7 يَكُونُ لَهُ كَتِفَانِ مُتَّصِلانِ فِي طَرَفَيْهِ لِيُمْكِنَ تَثْبِيتُهُ. 

8 أَمَّا الْحِزَامُ الَّذِي يَشُدُّهُ، فَيَكُونُ مُحَاكاً مِنْهُ، مَصْنُوعاً بِمَهَارَةٍ مِنْ خُيُوطٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ وَزَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسَجِيَّةٍ وَحَمْرَاءَ وَكَتَّانٍ مَبْرُومٍ فَاخِرٍ. 

9 ثُمَّ خُذْ حَجَرَيْ جَزْعٍ، وَانْقُشْ عَلَيْهِمَا أَسْمَاءَ رُؤَسَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. 

10 تَنْقُشُ كلَّ سِتَّةِ أَسْمَاءَ عَلَى حَجَرٍ وَاحِدٍ بِحَسَبِ تَارِيخِ وِلادَتِهِمْ. 

11 انْقُشْ أَسْمَاءَ رُؤَسَاءِ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى الْحَجَرَيْنِ تَمَاماً مِثْلَ حَفْرِ النَّقَّاشِ الْمَاهِرِ عَلَى الْخَاتَمِ، وَطَوِّقْهُمَا بِإِطَارَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. 

12 وَتُرَصِّعُ كَتِفَي الرِّدَاءِ بِالْحَجَرَيْنِ، فَيَكُونَانِ حَجَرَيْ تَذْكَارٍ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، فَيَحْمِلُ هَرُونُ أَسْمَاءَهُمْ عَلَى كَتِفَيْهِ لِلتَّذْكَارِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ. 

13 وَتَصْنَعُ طَوْقَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، 

14 وَسِلْسِلَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ مَبْرُومَتَيْنِ كَحَبْلٍ، تُعَلِّقُهُمَا بِالطَّوْقَيْنِ. 

صدرة القضاء

15 كَلِّفْ أَمْهَرَ الخَيَّاطِينَ بِصِنَاعَةِ «صُدْرَةِ الْقَضَاءِ» مِنْ خُيُوطٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ وَزَرْقَاءَ وَبَنَفْسَجِيَّةٍ وَحَمْرَاءَ وَكَتَّانٍ مَبْرُومٍ عَلَى غِرَارِ صِنَاعَةِ الرِّدَاءِ. 

16 وَتَكُونُ مُرَبَّعَةً مَثْنِيَّةً مِنْ طَبَقَتَيْنِ، وَطُولُهَا شِبْرٌ وَعَرْضُهَا شِبْرٌ. 

17 وَتُرَصِّعُونَهَا بِأَرْبَعَةِ صُفُوُفٍ مِنَ الْحِجَارَةِ الْكَرِيمَةِ. الصَّفُ الأَوَّلُ: عَقِيقٌ أَحْمَرُ وَيَاقُوتٌ أَصْفَرُ وَزُمُرُّدٌ. 

18 وَالصَّفُّ الثَّانِي: بَهْرَمَانٌ وَيَاقُوتٌ أَزْرَقُ وَعَقِيقٌ أَبْيَضُ. 

19 وَالصَّفُّ الثَّالِثُ: عَيْنُ الهِرِّ وَيَشْمٌ وَجَمَشْتٌ. 

20 وَالصَّفُّ الرَّابعُ: زَبَرْجَدٌ وَجَزْعٌ وَيَشَبٌ، وَتُؤَطِّرُهَا جَمِيعَهَا بِأَطْوَاقٍ ذَهَبِيَّةٍ فِي تَرْصِيعِهَا. 

21 وَتَنْقُشُ عَلَى كُلِّ حَجَرٍ كَرِيمٍ اسْمَ سِبْطٍ مِنْ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ عَلَى غِرَارِ نَقْشِ الْخَاتَمِ الْمَحْفُورَةِ عَلَيْهِ أَسْمَاءُ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ سِبْطاً. 

22 وَاصْنَعْ عَلَى الصُّدْرَةِ سَلاسِلَ مَبْرُومَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ مِثْلَ الْحَبْلِ الْمَضْفُورِ. 

23 وَتَضَعُ عَلَى طَرَفَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ حَلْقَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. 

24 وَتَجْعَلُ ضَفِيرَتَيِ الذَّهَبِ فِي الْحَلْقَتَيْنِ عَلَى طَرَفَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ. 

25 كَمَا تُدْخِلُ طَرَفَيِ الضَّفِيرَتَيْنِ الآخَرَيْنِ فِي الطَّوْقَيْنِ، وَتَجْعَلُهُمَا عَلَى كَتِفَيِ الرِّدَاءِ إِلَى أَمَامِهِ. 

26 وَتَصْنَعُ حَلْقَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَتُثَبِّتُهُمَا عَلَى طَرَفَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ الدَّاخِلِيَّةِ الْمُلاصِقَةِ لِلرِّدَاءِ. 

27 كَذَلِكَ تَصْنَعُ حَلْقَتَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أُخْرَيَيْنِ، وَتَضَعُهُمَا عَلَى أَسْفَلِ كَتِفَيِ الرِّدَاءِ مِنَ الأَمَامِ عِنْدَ مَكَانِ الْوَصْلِ فَوْقَ حِزَامِ الرِّدَاءِ. 

28 وَتَرْبِطُ حَلْقَتَيِ الصُّدْرَةِ إِلَى حَلْقَتَيِ الرِّدَاءِ بِخَيْطٍ أَزْرَقَ لِتَثْبُتَ فَوْقَ حِزَامِ الرِّدَاءِ، وَهَكَذَا لَا تُنْتَزَعُ الصُّدْرَةُ عَنِ الرِّدَاءِ. 

29 فَيَحْمِلُ هَرُونُ أَسْمَاءَ أَسْبَاطِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي«صُدْرَةِ الْقَضَاءِ» عَلَى قَلْبِهِ عِنْدَمَا يَدْخُلُ إِلَى الْقُدْسِ، تَذْكَاراً دَائِماً أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ 

30 وَتَضَعُ أَيْضاً فِي صُدْرَةِ الْقَضَاءِ «الأُورِيمَ وَالتُّمِّيمَ» لِيَحْمِلَهَا هَرُونُ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ عِنْدَمَا يَمْثُلُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ. وَهَكَذَا يَحْمِلُ هَرُونُ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ دَائِماً رَمْزَ قَضَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. 

ملابس كهنوتية أخرى

31 أَمَّا الْجُبَّةُ فَتَصْنَعُهَا كُلَّهَا مِنْ قُمَاشٍ أَزْرَقَ، 

32 لَهَا فَتْحَةٌ لِلرَّأْسِ فِي وَسَطِهَا، ذَاتُ حَاشِيَةٍ مُحِيطَةٍ مُطَرَّزَةٍ، صِنَاعَةِ حَائِكٍ مَاهِرٍ. عَلَى غِرَارِ فَتْحَةِ الْقَمِيصِ تَكُونُ، لِكَيْ لَا تَتَمَزَّقَ، 

33 وَتَتَدَلَّى مِنْ هُدْبِهَا رُمَّانَاتٌ زَرْقَاءُ وَبَنَفْسِجِيَّةٌ وَحَمْرَاءُ، وَتُعَلِّقُ بَيْنَهَا أَجْرَاساً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، 

34 فَيَكُونُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رُمَّانَتَيْنِ جَرَسٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، وَتَجْعَلُهَا جَمِيعَهَا عَلَى أَذْيَالِ الْجُبَّةِ. 

35 فَيَرْتَدِي هَرُونُ الْجُبَّةَ كُلَّمَا دَخَلَ لِلْخِدْمَةِ، فَتُسْمَعُ أَصْوَاتُهَا عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِ إِلَى الْقُدْسِ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ وَعِنْدَ خُرُوجِهِ، لَئِلا يَمُوتَ. 

36 وَاصْنَعْ صَفِيحَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ، وَاحْفُرْ عَلَيْهَا كَالْحَفْرِ عَلَى خَاتَمٍ: «قُدْسٌ للرَّبِّ» 

37 وَثَبِّتْهَا بِخَيْطٍ أَزْرَقَ فِي مُقَدِّمَةِ عِمَامَةِ هَرُونَ، 

38 فَتَكُونَ دَائِماً عَلَى جَبْهَةِ هَرُونَ، فَيَحْمِلَ بِذَلِكَ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وِزْرَ أَخْطَائِهِمْ فِي تَقْدِمَاتِهِمِ الَّتِي يُخَصِّصُونَهَا لِلرَّبِّ. وَعَلَى هَرُونَ أَنْ يَتَعَمَّمَ بِها دَائِماً عِنْدَمَا يَمْثُلُ أَمَامَ الرَّبِّ، لِكَيْ يَرْضَى الرَّبُّ عَنْهُمْ. 

39 وَتَصْنَعُ قَمِيصَ هَرُونَ الْمُخَرَّمَ وَعِمَامَتَهُ مِنْ قُمَاشٍ كَتَّانِيٍّ، أَمَّا الْحِزَامُ فَتُطَرِّزُهُ تَطْرِيزَ حَائِكٍ مَاهِرٍ. 

40 وَكَذَلِكَ تَصْنَعُ لِبَنِي هَرُونَ أَقْمِصَةً وَأَحْزِمَةً، وَقَلانِسَ لِتُضْفِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَجْداً وَبَهَاءً. 

41 وَتُلْبِسُهَا هَرُونَ وَبَنِيهِ. ثُمَّ امْسَحْهُمْ بِزَيْتِ الزَّيْتُونِ، وَكَرِّسْهُمْ لِلْخِدْمَةِ الَّتِي يَقُومُونَ بِها، وَتُقَدِّسُهُمْ لِيَكُونُوا كَهَنَةً لِي. 

42 وَتَصْنَعُ لَهُمْ سَرَاوِيلَ مِنْ كَتَّانٍ لِسَتْرِ الْعَوْرَةِ، تَصِلُ مِنَ الْحَقْوَيْنِ إِلَى الرُّكْبَتَيْنِ. 

43 فَيَلْبَسُهَا هَرُونُ وَبَنُوهُ تَحْتَ قُمْصَانِهِمْ عِنْدَ دُخُولِهِمْ إِلَى خَيْمَةِ الاجْتِمَاعِ، أَوْ عِنْدَ اقْتِرَابِهِمْ إِلَى الْمَذْبَحِ لِيَخْدِمُوا فِي القُدْسِ، لِئَلّا يُخْطِئُوا فَيَمُوتُوا. هَذَا فَرْضٌ دَائِمٌ عَلَى هَرُونَ وَنَسْلِهِ جِيلاً بَعْدَ جِيلٍ.
