Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
1“Next, have your brother Aaron brought to you from among the Israelites, along with his sons Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, to serve Me as priests.
1Καὶ σὺ προσαγάγου πρὸς σεαυτὸν τόν τε Ἀαρὼν τὸν ἀδελφόν σου, καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ, ἱερατεύειν μοι Ἀαρὼν, καὶ Ναδὰβ, καὶ Ἀβιοὺδ, καὶ Ἐλεάζαρ, καὶ Ἰθάμαρ, υἱοὺς Ἀαρών.
2Make holy garments for your brother Aaron, to give him glory and splendor.
2Καὶ ποιήσεις στολὴν ἁγίαν Ἀαρὼν τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου εἰς τιμὴν καὶ δόξαν.
3You are to instruct all the skilled craftsmen, whom I have filled with a spirit of wisdom, to make garments for Aaron’s consecration, so that he may serve Me as priest.
3Καὶ σύ λάλησον πᾶσι τοῖς σοφοῖς τῇ διανοίᾳ, οὓς ἐνέπλησα πνεύματος σοφίας καὶ αἰσθήσεως· καὶ ποιήσουσι τὴν στολὴν τὴν ἁγίαν Ἀαρὼν εἰς τὸ ἅγιον, ἐν ᾗ ἱερατεύσει μοι.
4These are the garments that they shall make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a woven tunic, a turban, and a sash. They are to make these holy garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so that they may serve Me as priests.
4Καὶ αὗται αἱ στολαὶ, ἃς ποιησουσι· τὸ περιστήθιον, καὶ τὴν ἐπωμίδα, καὶ τὸν ποδήρη, καὶ χιτῶνα κοσυμβωτὸν, καὶ κίδαριν, καὶ ζώνην· καὶ ποιήσουσι στολὰς ἁγίας Ἀαρὼν καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ ἱερατεύειν μοι.
5They shall use gold, along with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen.
5Καὶ αὐτοὶ λήψονται τὸ χρυσίον, καὶ τὸν ὑάκινθον, καὶ τὴν πορφύραν, καὶ τὸ κόκκινον, καὶ τὴν βύσσον.
6They are to make the ephod of finely spun linen embroidered with gold, and with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn.
6Καὶ ποιήσουσι τὴν ἐπωμίδα ἐκ βύσσου κεκλωσμένης, ἔργον ὑφαντὸν ποικιλτοῦ.
7It shall have two shoulder pieces attached at two of its corners, so it can be fastened.
7Δύο ἐπωμίδες συνέχουσαι ἔσονται αὐτῷ ἑτέρα τὴν ἑτέραν, ἐπὶ τοῖς δυσὶ μέρεσιν ἐξηρτισμέναι.
8And the skillfully woven waistband of the ephod must be of one piece, of the same workmanship—with gold, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and with finely spun linen.
8Καὶ τὸ ὕφασμα τῶν ἐπωμίδων ὅ ἐστιν ἐπʼ αὐτῷ, κατὰ τὴν ποίησιν ἐξ αὐτοῦ ἔσται ἐκ χρυσίου καθαροῦ, καὶ ὑακίνθου, καὶ πορφύρας, καὶ κοκκίνου διανενησμένου, καὶ βύσσου κεκλωσμένης.
9Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:
9Καὶ λήψῃ τοὺς δύο λίθους, λίθους σμαράγδου, καὶ γλύψεις ἐν αὐτοῖς τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραήλ.
10six of their names on one stone and the remaining six on the other, in the order of their birth.
10Ἓξ ὀνόματα ἐπὶ τὸν λίθον τὸν ἕνα, καὶ τὰ ἓξ ὀνόματα τὰ λοιπὰ ἐπὶ τὸν λίθον τὸν δεύτερον κατὰ τὰς γενέσεις αὐτῶν.
11Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the way a gem cutter engraves a seal. Then mount the stones in gold filigree settings.
11Ἔργον λιθουργικῆς τέχνης· γλύμμα σφραγίδος διαγλύψεις τοὺς δύο λίθους ἐπὶ τοῖς ὀνόμασι τῶς υἱῶν Ἰσρσήλ.
12Fasten both stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. Aaron is to bear their names on his two shoulders as a memorial before the LORD.
12Καὶ θήσεις τοὺς δύο λίθους ἐπὶ τῶς ὤμων τῆς ἐπωμίδος· λίθοι μνημοσύνου εἰσὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραήλ· καὶ ἀναλήψεται Ἀαρὼν τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἔναντι Κυρίου ἐπὶ τῶν δύο ὤμων αὐτοῦ, μνημόσυνον πεπὶ αὐτῶν.
13Fashion gold filigree settings
13Καὶ ποιήσεις ἀσπιδίσκας ἐκ χρυσίου καθαροῦ.
14and two chains of pure gold, made of braided cord work; and attach these chains to the settings.
14Καὶ ποιήσεις δύο κροσωτὰ ἐκ χρυσίου καθαροῦ, καταμεμιγμένα ἐν ἄνθεσιν, ἔργον πλοκῆς· καὶ ἐπιθήσεις τὰ κροσσωτὰ τὰ πεπλεγμένα ἐπὶ τὰς ἀσπιδίσκας, κατὰ τὰς παρωμίδας αὐτῶν ἐκ τῶν ἐμπροσθίων.
15You are also to make a breastpiece of judgment with the same workmanship as the ephod. Construct it with gold, with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and with finely spun linen.
15Καὶ ποιήσεις λογεῖον τῶν κρίσεων, ἔργον ποικιλτοῦ· κατὰ τὸν ῥυθμὸν τῆς ἐπωμίδος ποιήσεις αὐτὸ ἐκ χρυσίου, καὶ ὑακίνθου, καὶ πορφύρας, καὶ κοκκίνου κεκλωσμένου, καὶ βύσσου κεκλωσμένης.
16It must be square when folded over double, a span long and a span wide.
16Ποιήσεις αὐτό τετράγωνον· ἔσται διπλοῦν, σπιθαμῆς τὸ μῆκος αὐτοῦ, καὶ σπιθαμῆς τὸ εὖρος.
17And mount on it a setting of gemstones, four rows of stones: In the first row there shall be a ruby, a topaz, and an emerald;
17Καὶ καθυφανεῖς ἐν αὐτῷ ὕφασμα κατάλιθον τετράστιχον· στίχος λίθων ἔσται, σάρδιον, τοπάζιον, καὶ σμαράγδος, ὁ στίχος ὁ εἷς.
18in the second row a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;
18Καὶ ὁ στίχος ὁ δεύτερος, ἄνθραξ, καὶ σάπφειρος, καὶ ἴασπις.
19in the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
19Καὶ ὁ στίχος ὁ τρίτος, λιγύριον, ἀχάτης, ἀμέθυστος.
20and in the fourth row a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. Mount these stones in gold filigree settings.
20Καὶ ὁ στίχος ὁ τέταρτος, χρυσόλιθος, καὶ βηρύλλιον, καὶ ὀνύχιον, περικεκαλυμμένα χρυσίῳ, συνδεδεμένα ἐν χρυσίῳ· ἔστωσαν κατὰ στίχον αὐτῶν.
21The twelve stones are to correspond to the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.
21Καὶ οἱ λίθοι ἔστωσαν ἐκ τῶν ὀνομάτων τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ δεκαδύο κατὰ τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν· γλυφαὶ σφραγίδων, ἕκαστος κατὰ τὸ ὄνομα ἔστωσαν εἰς δεκαδύο φυλάς.
22For the breastpiece, make braided chains like cords of pure gold.
22Καὶ ποιήσεις ἐπὶ τὸ λογιον κρωσσοὺς συμπεπλεγμένους, ἔργον ἁλυσιδωτὸν ἐκ χρυσίου καθαροῦ.
23You are also to make two gold rings and fasten them to the two corners of the breastpiece.

24Then fasten the two gold chains to the two gold rings at the corners of the breastpiece,
no verse 24 in this text
25and fasten the other ends of the two chains to the two filigree settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front.
no verse 25 in this text
26Make two more gold rings and attach them to the other two corners of the breastpiece, on the inside edge next to the ephod.
no verse 26 in this text
27Make two additional gold rings and attach them to the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, on its front, near its seam just above its woven waistband.
no verse 27 in this text
28The rings of the breastpiece shall be tied to the rings of the ephod with a cord of blue yarn, so that the breastpiece is above the waistband of the ephod and does not swing out from the ephod.
no verse 28 in this text
29Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he shall bear the names of the sons of Israel over his heart on the breastpiece of judgment, as a continual reminder before the LORD.
29Καὶ λήψεται Ἀαρὼν τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τοῦ λογείου τῆς κρίσεως ἐπὶ τοῦ στήθους, εἰσιόντι εἰς τὸ ἅγιον μνημόσυνου ἐναντίον τοῦ Θεοῦ. Καὶ θήσεις ἐπὶ τὸ λογεῖον τῆς κρίσεως τοὺς κρωσσούς· τὰ ἁλυσιδωτὰ ἐπʼ ἀμφοτέρων τῶν κλιτῶν τοῦ λογείου ἐπιθήσεις. Καὶ τὰς δύο ἀσπιδίσκας ἐπιθήσεις ἐπʼ ἀμφοτέρους τοὺς ὤμους τῆς ἐπωμίδος κατὰ πρόσωπον.
30And place the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece of judgment, so that they will also be over Aaron’s heart whenever he comes before the LORD. Aaron will continually carry the judgment of the sons of Israel over his heart before the LORD.
30Καὶ ἐπιθήσεις ἐπὶ τὸ λογεῖον τῆς κρίσεως τὴν δήλωσιν καὶ τὴν ἀλήθειαν· καὶ ἔσται ἐπὶ τοῦ στήθους Ἀαρὼν, ὃταν εἰσπορεύεται εἰς τὸ ἅγιον ἔναντὶ Κυρίου· καὶ οἴσει Ἀαρὼν τὰς κρίσεις τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ ἐπὶ τοῦ στήθους ἔναντι Κυρίου διαπαντός.
31You are to make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue cloth,
31Καὶ ποιήσεις ὑποδύτην ποδήρη ὅλον ὑακίνθινον.
32with an opening at its top in the center. Around the opening shall be a woven collar with an opening like that of a garment, so that it will not tear.
32Καὶ ἔσται τὸ περιστόμιον ἐξ αὐτοῦ μέσον, ὤαν ἔχον κύκλῳ τοῦ περιστομίου, ἔργον ὑφαντου, τὴν συμβολὴν συνυφασμένην ἐξ αὐτοῦ, ἵνα μὴ ῥαγῇ.
33Make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn all the way around the lower hem, with gold bells between them,
33Καὶ ποιήσεις ὑπὸ τὸ λῶμα τοῦ ὑποδύτου κάτωθεν, ὡσεὶ ἐξανθούσης ῥόας ῥοΐσκους ἐξ ὑακίνθου, καὶ πορφύρας, καὶ κοκκίνου διανενησμένου, καὶ βύσσου κεκλωσμένης, ὑπὸ τοῦ λώματος τοῦ ὑποδύτου κύκλῳ· τὸ αὐτὸ εἶδος ῥοΐσκους χρυσοῦς, καὶ κώδωνας ἀναμέσον τούτων περικύκλῳ.
34alternating the gold bells and pomegranates around the lower hem of the robe.
34Παρὰ ῥοΐσκον χρυσοῦν δώδωνα, καὶ ἄνθινον ἐπὶ τοῦ λώματος τοῦ ὑποδύτου κύκλῳ·
35Aaron must wear the robe whenever he ministers, and its sound will be heard when he enters or exits the sanctuary before the LORD, so that he will not die.
35Καὶ ἔσται Ἀαρὼν ἐν τῷ λειτουργεῖν ἀκουστὴ ἡ φωνὴ αὐτοῦ, εἰσιόντι εἰς τὸ ἅγιον ἔναντι Κυρίου, καὶ ἐξιόντι, ἵνα μὴ ἀποθάνῃ.
36You are to make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it as on a seal: HOLY TO THE LORD.
36Καὶ ποιήσεις πέταλον χρυσοῦν καθαρόν· καὶ ἐκτυπώσεις ἐν αὐτῷ ἐκτύπωμα σφραγίδος, Ἁγίασμα Κυρίου.
37Fasten to it a blue cord to mount it on the turban; it shall be on the front of the turban.
37Καὶ ἐπιθήσεις αὐτὸ ἐπὶ ὑακίνθου κεκλωσμένης· καὶ ἔσται ἐπὶ τῆς μίτρας, κατὰ πρόσωπον τῆς μίτρας ἔσται.
38And it will be worn on Aaron’s forehead, so that he may bear the iniquity of the holy things that the sons of Israel consecrate with regard to all their holy gifts. It shall always be on his forehead, so that they may be acceptable before the LORD.
38Καὶ ἔσται ἐπὶ τοῦ μετώπου Ἀαρών· καὶ ἐξαρεῖ Ἀαρὼν τὰ ἁμαρτήματα τῶν ἁγίων, ὅσα ἂν ἁγιάσωσιν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ παντὸς δόματος τῶν ἁγίων αὐτῶν· καὶ ἔσται ἐπὶ τοῦ μετώπου Ἀαρὼν διαπαντὸς δεκτὸν αὐτοῖς ἔναντι Κυρίου.
39You are to weave the tunic with fine linen, make the turban of fine linen, and fashion an embroidered sash.
39Καὶ οἱ κοσυμβωτοὶ τῶν χιτώνων ἐκ βύσσου· καὶ ποιήσεις κίδαριν βυσσίνην· καὶ ζώνην ποιήσεις, ἔργον ποικιλτοῦ.
40Make tunics, sashes, and headbands for Aaron’s sons, to give them glory and splendor.
40Καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἀαρὼν ποιήσεις χιτῶνας καὶ ζώνας, καὶ κιδάρεις ποιήσεις αὐτοῖς εἰς τιμὴν καὶ δόξαν.
41After you put these garments on your brother Aaron and his sons, anoint them, ordain them, and consecrate them so that they may serve Me as priests.
41Καὶ ἐνδύσεις αὐτὰ Ἀαρὼν τὸν ἀδελφόν σου, καὶ τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτοῦ· καὶ χρίσεις αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἐμπλήσεις αὐτῶν τὰς χεῖρας· καὶ ἁγιάσεις αὐτοὺς, ἵνα ἱερατεύωσί μοι.
42Make linen undergarments to cover their bare flesh, extending from waist to thigh.
42Καὶ ποιήσεις αὐτοῖς περισκελῆ λινᾶ καλύψαι ἀσχημοσύνην χρωτὸς αὐτῶν, ἀπὸ ὀσφύος ἕως μηρῶν ἔσται.
43Aaron and his sons must wear them whenever they enter the Tent of Meeting or approach the altar to minister in the Holy Place, so that they will not incur guilt and die. This is to be a permanent statute for Aaron and his descendants.
43Καὶ ἕξει Ἀαρὼν αὐτὰ καὶ οἱ υἱοὶ αὐτοῦ, ὅταν εἰσπορεύωνται εἰς τὴν σκηνὴν τοῦ μαρτυρίου, ἢ ὅταν προσπορεύωνται λειτουργεῖν πρὸς τὸ θυσιαστήριον τοῦ ἁγίου· καὶ οὐκ ἐπάξονται πρὸς ἑαυτοὺς ἁμαρτίαν, ἵνα μὴ ἀποθάνωσι· νόμιμον αἰώνιον αὐτῷ, καὶ τῷ σπέρματι αὐτοῦ μετʼ αὐτόν.
