Making the Robe
22 They(A) made the woven robe of the ephod entirely of blue yarn. 23 There was an opening in the center of the robe like that of body armor[a] with a collar around the opening so that it would not tear. 24 They made pomegranates of finely spun blue, purple, and scarlet yarn[b] on the lower hem of the robe. 25 They made bells of pure gold and attached the bells between the pomegranates, all around the hem of the robe between the pomegranates, 26 a bell and a pomegranate alternating all around the lower hem of the robe[c] to be worn for ministry. They made it just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
The Other Priestly Garments
27 They made the tunics of fine woven linen for Aaron and his sons. 28 They also made the turban and the ornate headbands[d] of fine linen, the undergarments,(B) 29 and the sash of finely spun linen of embroidered blue, purple, and scarlet yarn. They did just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Making the Holy Diadem
30 They also made a medallion, the holy diadem, out of pure gold and wrote on it an inscription like the engraving on a seal:(C)
HOLY TO THE LORD.
31 Then they attached a cord of blue yarn to it in order to mount it on the turban, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Other Priestly Garments(A)
22 They made the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth—the work of a weaver— 23 with an opening in the center of the robe like the opening of a collar,[a] and a band around this opening, so that it would not tear. 24 They made pomegranates of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen around the hem of the robe. 25 And they made bells of pure gold and attached them around the hem between the pomegranates. 26 The bells and pomegranates alternated around the hem of the robe to be worn for ministering, as the Lord commanded Moses.
27 For Aaron and his sons, they made tunics of fine linen(B)—the work of a weaver— 28 and the turban(C) of fine linen, the linen caps and the undergarments of finely twisted linen. 29 The sash was made of finely twisted linen and blue, purple and scarlet yarn—the work of an embroiderer—as the Lord commanded Moses.
30 They made the plate, the sacred emblem, out of pure gold and engraved on it, like an inscription on a seal: holy to the Lord.(D) 31 Then they fastened a blue cord to it to attach it to the turban,(E) as the Lord commanded Moses.
