Then mount the stones in settings of gold filigree.Fasten the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as a reminder that Aaron represents the people of Israel. Aaron will carry these names on his shoulders as a constant reminder whenever he goes before the Lord.Make the settings of gold filigree,then braid two cords of pure gold and attach them to the filigree settings on the shoulders of the ephod.“ Then, with great skill and care, make a chestpiece to be worn for seeking a decision from God. Make it to match the ephod, using finely woven linen embroidered with gold and with blue, purple, and scarlet thread.Make the chestpiece of a single piece of cloth folded to form a pouch nine inches square.Mount four rows of gemstones on it. The first row will contain a red carnelian, a pale green peridot, and an emerald.The second row will contain a turquoise, a blue lapis lazuli, and a white moonstone.The third row will contain an orange jacinth, an agate, and a purple amethyst.The fourth row will contain a blue green beryl, an onyx, and a green jasper.

This will hold the chestpiece securely to the ephod above the decorative sash.“ In this way, Aaron will carry the names of the tribes of Israel on the sacred chestpiece over his heart when he goes into the Holy Place. This will be a continual reminder that he represents the people when he comes before the Lord.Insert the Urim and Thummim into the sacred chestpiece so they will be carried over Aaron’s heart when he goes into the Lord’s presence. In this way, Aaron will always carry over his heart the objects used to determine the Lord’s will for his people whenever he goes in before the Lord.“ Make the robe that is worn with the ephod from a single piece of blue cloth,with an opening for Aaron’s head in the middle of it. Reinforce the opening with a woven collar so it will not tear.Make pomegranates out of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and attach them to the hem of the robe, with gold bells between them.The gold bells and pomegranates are to alternate all around the hem.Aaron will wear this robe whenever he ministers before the Lord, and the bells will tinkle as he goes in and out of the Lord’s presence in the Holy Place. If he wears it, he will not die.
