1 “Also, join to yourself your brother Aaron, with his sons from the midst of the sons of Israel, so that they may exercise the priesthood for me: Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
1 Y TÚ allega á ti á Aarón tu hermano, y á sus hijos consigo, de entre los hijos de Israel, para que sean mis sacerdotes; á Aarón, Nadab y Abiú, Eleazar é Ithamar, hijos de Aarón.
2 And you shall make a holy vestment for Aaron, your brother, with glory and elegance.
2 Y harás vestidos sagrados á Aarón tu hermano, para honra y hermosura.
3 And you shall speak to all the wise of heart, whom I have filled with the spirit of prudence, so that they may make the vestments of Aaron, in which, having been sanctified, he may minister to me.
3 Y tú hablarás á todos los sabios de corazón, á quienes yo he henchido de espíritu de sabiduría, á fin que hagan los vestidos de Aarón, para consagrarle á que me sirva de sacerdote.
4 Now these shall be the vestments that they shall make: A breastplate and an ephod, a tunic and a close-fit linen garment, a headdress and a wide belt. They shall make the holy vestments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so that they may exercise the priesthood for me.
4 Los vestidos que harán son estos: el racional, y el ephod, y el manto, y la túnica labrada, la mitra, y el cinturón. Hagan, pues, los sagrados vestidos á Aarón tu hermano, y á sus hijos, para que sean mis sacerdotes.
5 And they shall receive gold, and hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen.
5 Tomarán oro, y cárdeno, y púrpura, y carmesí, y lino torcido.
6 Then they shall make the ephod of gold, and hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen, wrought with diverse colors.
6 Y harán el ephod de oro y cárdeno, y púrpura, y carmesí, y lino torcido de obra de bordador.
7 It shall have two edges joined at the top on both sides, so that they may respond as one.
7 Tendrá dos hombreras que se junten á sus dos lados, y se juntará.
8 Likewise, the weaving and all the detail work shall be of gold, and hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen.
8 Y el artificio de su cinto que está sobre él, será de su misma obra, de lo mismo; de oro, cárdeno, y púrpura, y carmesí, y lino torcido.
9 And you shall take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:
9 Y tomarás dos piedras oniquinas, y grabarás en ellas los nombres de los hijos de Israel:
10 six names on one stone, and the remaining six on the other, according to the order of their birth.
10 Los seis de sus nombres en la una piedra, y los otros seis nombres en la otra piedra, conforme al nacimiento de ellos.
11 By the work of a sculptor and the skill of a jeweler, you shall engrave them with the names of the sons of Israel, enclosed and encompassed with gold.
11 De obra de escultor en piedra á modo de grabaduras de sello, harás grabar aquellas dos piedras con los nombres de los hijos de Israel; harásles alrededor engastes de oro.
12 And you shall place them on both sides of the ephod, as a memorial to the sons of Israel. And Aaron shall carry their names before the Lord, upon both shoulders, as a remembrance.
12 Y pondrás aquellas dos piedras sobre los hombros del ephod, para piedras de memoria á los hijos de Israel; y Aarón llevará los nombres de ellos delante de Jehová en sus dos hombros por memoria.
13 You shall also make hooks of gold,
13 Harás pues, engastes de oro,
14 and two little chains of the purest gold, linked to one another, which you shall insert into the hooks.
14 Y dos cadenillas de oro fino; las cuales harás de hechura de trenza; y fijarás las cadenas de hechura de trenza en los engastes.
15 Likewise, you shall make the breastplate of judgment, wrought with diverse colors according to the weaving of the ephod: of gold, hyacinth and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen.
15 Harás asimismo el racional del juicio de primorosa obra, le has de hacer conforme á la obra del ephod, de oro, y cárdeno, y púrpura, y carmesí, y lino torcido.
16 It shall have four corners and be doubled. It shall have the measure of the palm of a hand, both in length and in width.
16 Será cuadrado [y] doble, de un palmo de largo y un palmo de ancho:
17 And you shall set within it four rows of stones. In the first row, there shall be a sardius stone, and a topaz, and an emerald.
17 Y lo llenarás de pedrería con cuatro órdenes de piedras: un orden de una piedra sárdica, un topacio, y un carbunclo; será el primer orden;
18 In the second, there shall be a garnet, a sapphire, and a jasper.
18 El segundo orden, una esmeralda, un zafiro, y un diamante;
19 In the third, there shall be a zircon, an agate, and an amethyst.
19 El tercer orden, un rubí, un ágata, y una amatista;
20 In the fourth, there shall be a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl. They shall be set in gold by their rows.
20 Y el cuarto orden, un berilo, un onix, y un jaspe: estarán engastadas en oro en sus encajes.
21 And these shall have the names of the sons of Israel. With twelve names shall they be engraved: each stone with one name from the twelve tribes.
21 Y serán aquellas piedras según los nombres de los hijos de Israel, doce según sus nombres; como grabaduras de sello cada una con su nombre, vendrán á ser según las doce tribus.
22 You shall make chains of the purest gold, linked one to another, on the breastplate,
22 Harás también en el racional cadenetas de hechura de trenzas de oro fino.
23 and two rings of gold, which you shall place at both ends of the breastplate.
23 Y harás en el racional dos anillos de oro, los cuales dos anillos pondrás á las dos puntas del racional.
24 And the golden chains, you shall join to the rings, which are at its edges.
24 Y pondrás las dos trenzas de oro en los dos anillos á las dos puntas del racional:
25 And the ends of the chains themselves, you shall couple with two hooks, on both sides of the ephod, which looks toward the breastplate.
25 Y los dos cabos de las dos trenzas sobre los dos engastes, y las pondrás á los lados del ephod en la parte delantera.
26 You shall also make two rings of gold, which you shall place at the ends of the breastplate, at the borders which are away from the region of the ephod and which look toward its back.
26 Harás también dos anillos de oro, los cuales pondrás á las dos puntas del racional, en su orilla que está al lado del ephod de la parte de dentro.
27 And then you shall also make two other rings of gold, which are to be suspended on both sides at the bottom of the ephod, which looks out opposite the face of the lower juncture, so that the breastplate can be fitted to the ephod.
27 Harás asimismo dos anillos de oro, los cuales pondrás á los dos lados del ephod abajo en la parte delantera, delante de su juntura sobre el cinto del ephod.
28 And it shall be drawn tight to the rings of the breastplate, by the rings of the ephod, with a hyacinth band, so that the well-constructed juncture will remain in place, and the breastplate and the ephod will not be able to be separated from one another.
28 Y juntarán el racional con sus anillos á los anillos del ephod con un cordón de jacinto, para que esté sobre el cinto del ephod, y no se aparte el racional del ephod.
29 And Aaron shall carry the names of the sons of Israel on the breastplate of judgment upon his chest, when he enters into the Sanctuary, as a memorial in the presence of the Lord in eternity.
29 Y llevará Aarón los nombres de los hijos de Israel en el racional del juicio sobre su corazón, cuando entrare en el santuario, para memoria delante de Jehová continuamente.
30 Then you shall place in the breastplate of judgment, Doctrine and Truth, which shall then be upon Aaron’s chest, when he enters before the Lord. And he shall wear the judgment of the sons of Israel on his chest, in the sight of the Lord always.
30 Y pondrás en el racional del juicio Urim y Thummim, para que estén sobre el corazón de Aarón cuando entrare delante de Jehová: y llevará siempre Aarón el juicio de los hijos de Israel sobre su corazón delante de Jehová.
31 And you shall make the tunic for the ephod entirely of hyacinth,
31 Harás el manto del ephod todo de jacinto:
32 and the head will be above its middle, with a hem woven around it, just as is usually made at the end parts of a garment, so that it may not be easily broken.
32 Y en medio de él por arriba habrá una abertura, la cual tendrá un borde alrededor de obra de tejedor, como el cuello de un coselete, [para] que no se rompa.
33 Yet truly, beneath it, at the base of the same tunic, all around, you shall make something like pomegranates, from hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, with little bells set in their midst.
33 Y [abajo] en sus orillas harás granadas de jacinto, y púrpura, y carmesí, por sus bordes alrededor; y entre ellas campanillas de oro alrededor:
34 So then, there shall be a little golden bell and a pomegranate, and again another golden bell and a pomegranate.
34 Una campanilla de oro y una granada, campanilla de oro y granada, por las orillas del manto alrededor.
35 And Aaron will be vested with it during the office of his ministry, so that the sound may be heard when he enters and exits the Sanctuary, in the sight of the Lord, and so that he may not die.
35 Y estará sobre Aarón cuando ministrare; y oiráse su sonido cuando él entrare en el santuario delante de Jehová y cuando saliere, porque no muera.
36 And you shall make a plate of the purest gold, in which you shall engrave, with the skill of a sculptor, ‘Holy to the Lord.’
36 Harás además una plancha de oro fino, y grabarás en ella grabadura de sello, SANTIDAD Á JEHOVÁ.
37 And you shall fasten it with a band of hyacinth, and it shall be upon the headdress,
37 Y la pondrás con un cordón de jacinto, y estará sobre la mitra; por el frente anterior de la mitra estará.
38 hanging in front of the high priest. And Aaron shall carry the iniquities of that which the sons of Israel have offered and sanctified, in all their gifts and donations. But the plate will always be at his forehead, so that the Lord may be well pleased with them.
38 Y estará sobre la frente de Aarón: y llevará Aarón el pecado de las cosas santas, que los hijos de Israel hubieren consagrado en todas sus santas ofrendas; y sobre su frente estará continuamente para que hayan gracia delante de Jehová.
39 And you shall draw the tunic tight with fine linen, and you shall make a headdress of fine linen, and a wide belt, wrought with embroidery.
39 Y bordarás una túnica de lino, y harás una mitra de lino; harás también un cinto de obra de recamador.
40 Furthermore, for the sons of Aaron, you shall prepare linen tunics, and wide belts as well as headdresses, with glory and elegance.
40 Y para los hijos de Aarón harás túnicas; también les harás cintos, y les formarás chapeos (tiaras) para honra y hermosura.
41 And with all these you shall vest your brother Aaron, and his sons with him. And you shall consecrate all their hands, and you shall sanctify them, so that they may exercise the priesthood for me.
41 Y con ellos vestirás á Aarón tu hermano, y á sus hijos con él: y los ungirás, y los consagrarás, y santificarás, para que sean mis sacerdotes.
42 You shall also make linen undergarments, in order to cover the flesh of their nakedness, from the kidneys all the way to the thighs.
42 Y les harás pañetes de lino para cubrir la carne vergonzosa; serán desde los lomos hasta los muslos:
43 And Aaron and his sons will use them when they enter the tabernacle of the testimony, and when they approach toward the altar, in order to minister in the sanctuary, lest, being guilty of iniquity, they may die. It shall be a law forever for Aaron, and for his offspring after him.”
43 Y estarán sobre Aarón y sobre sus hijos cuando entraren en el tabernáculo del testimonio, ó cuando se llegaren al altar para servir en el santuario, porque no lleven pecado, y mueran. Estatuto perpetuo para él, y para su simiente después de él.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Moreover, they maintain that the long robe of the priest falling over his feet, as being adorned with four rows of precious stones, indicates the Tetrad; and if there are any other things in the Scriptures which can possibly be dragged into the number four, they declare that these had their being with a view to the Tetrad.
The altar of burnt-offering also was five cubits in breadth. Five priests were chosen in the wilderness,--namely, Aaron, Nadab, Abiud, Eleazar, Ithamar.
The ephod and the breastplate, and other sacerdotal vestments, were formed out of five materials; for they combined in themselves gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.
