Sinai & The Law

`And thou hast put unto the breastplate of judgment the Lights and the Perfections, and they have been on the heart of Aaron, in his going in before Jehovah, and Aaron hath borne the judgment of the sons of Israel on his heart before Jehovah continually.

`And thou hast made the upper robe of the ephod completely of blue,

and the opening for its head hath been in its midst, a border is to its opening round about, work of a weaver, as the opening of a habergeon there is to it; it is not rent.

`And thou hast made on its hem pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, on its hem round about, and bells of gold in their midst round about;

a bell of gold and a pomegranate, a bell of gold and a pomegranate are on the hems of the upper robe round about.

`And it hath been on Aaron to minister in, and its sound hath been heard in his coming in unto the sanctuary before Jehovah, and in his going out, and he doth not die.

`And thou hast made a flower of pure gold, and hast opened on it--openings of a signet--`Holy to Jehovah;'

and thou hast put it on a blue ribbon, and it hath been on the mitre--over-against the front of the mitre it is;

and it hath been on the forehead of Aaron, and Aaron hath borne the iniquity of the holy things which the sons of Israel do hallow, even all their holy gifts; and it hath been on his forehead continually for a pleasing thing for them before Jehovah.

`And thou hast embroidered the coat of linen, and hast made a mitre of linen, and a girdle thou dost make--work of an embroiderer.

`And for the sons of Aaron thou dost make coats, and thou hast made for them girdles, yea, bonnets thou dost make for them, for honour and for beauty;

and thou hast clothed Aaron thy brother with them, and his sons with him, and hast anointed them, and hast consecrated their hand, and hast sanctified them, and they have been priests to Me.

`And make thou for them linen trousers to cover the naked flesh: they are from the loins even unto the thighs;

and they have been on Aaron and on his sons, in their going in unto the tent of meeting, or in their drawing nigh unto the altar to minister in the sanctuary, and they do not bear iniquity nor have they died; a statute age-during to him, and to his seed after him.

`And this is the thing which thou dost to them, to hallow them, for being priests to Me: Take one bullock, a son of the herd, and two rams, perfect ones,

and bread unleavened, and cakes unleavened anointed with oil, of fine wheaten flour thou dost make them,

and thou hast put them on one basket, and hast brought them near in the basket, also the bullock and the two rams.

`And Aaron and his sons thou dost bring near unto the opening of the tent of meeting, and hast bathed them with water;

and thou hast taken the garments, and hast clothed Aaron with the coat, and the upper robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and hast girded him with the girdle of the ephod,

and hast set the mitre on his head, and hast put the holy crown on the mitre,

and hast taken the anointing oil, and hast poured it on his head, and hast anointed him.

`And his sons thou dost bring near, and hast clothed them with coats,

and hast girded them with a girdle (Aaron and his sons), and hast bound on them bonnets; and the priesthood hath been theirs by a statute age-during, and thou hast consecrated the hand of Aaron, and the hand of his sons,

and hast brought near the bullock before the tent of meeting, and Aaron hath laid--his sons also--their hands on the head of the bullock.

`And thou hast slaughtered the bullock before Jehovah, at the opening of the tent of meeting,
