Bible in Basic English
You are to make a plate of the best gold, cutting on it, as on a stamp, these words: HOLY TO THE LORD.
Put a blue cord on it and put it on the front of the twisted head-dress:
And it will be over Aaron's brow, so that Aaron will be responsible for any error in all the holy offerings made by the children of Israel; it will be on his brow at all times, so that their offerings may be pleasing to the Lord.
The coat is to be made of the best linen, worked in squares; and you are to make a head-dress of linen, and a linen band worked in needlework.
And for Aaron's sons you are to make coats, and bands, and head-dresses, so that they may be clothed with glory and honour.
These you are to put on Aaron, your brother, and on his sons, putting oil on them, separating them and making them holy, to do the work of priests to me.
And you are to make them linen trousers, covering their bodies from the middle to the knee;
Aaron and his sons are to put these on whenever they go into the Tent of meeting or come near the altar, when they are doing the work of the holy place, so that they may be free from any sin causing death: this is to be an order for him and his seed after him for ever.
— Exodus 28:36-1964, Bible in Basic English
““You are to make a plate of pure gold and engrave on it the way a seal is engraved:“Holiness to the LORD.” You are to attach to it a blue cord so that it will be on the turban; it is to be on the front of the turban. It will be on Aaron’s forehead, and Aaron will bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the Israelites are to sanctify by all their holy gifts; it will always be on his forehead, for their acceptance before the LORD. You are to weave the tunic of fine linen and make the turban of fine linen, and make the sash the work of an embroiderer. “For Aaron’s sons you are to make tunics, sashes, and headbands for glory and for beauty. “You are to clothe them– your brother Aaron and his sons with him– and anoint them and ordain them and set them apart as holy, so that they may minister as my priests. Make for them linen undergarments to cover their naked bodies; they must cover from the waist to the thighs. These must be on Aaron and his sons when they enter to the tent of meeting, or when they approach the altar to minister in the Holy Place, so that they bear no iniquity and die. It is to be a perpetual ordinance for him and for his descendants after him.”
And round the skirts of it put fruits in blue and purple and red, with bells of gold between;
A gold bell and a fruit in turn all round the skirts of the robe.
Aaron is to put it on for his holy work; and the sound of it will be clear, when he goes into the holy place before the Lord, and when he comes out, keeping him safe from death.
