along the hem of the robe,

and gold bells were sewn there,

so others could hear the ringing

as he walked in the temple.

10The vest was embroidered

with blue and purple yarn

and decorated with gold.

11The breastpiece was decorated

with red yarn,

and it held the sacred items

used in getting answers

from God.

On it were precious stones,

set in finely worked gold

and engraved with the names

of Israel's twelve tribes.

12On Aaron's turban

was a beautiful strip of gold

made by an expert

and engraved with the words,

“Dedicated to the Lord.”

13All these things were made

for Aaron the priest,

and since his time,

only his descendants

have ever worn them.

14Twice each day,

these priests offer sacrifices

to please the Lord.

15

I pray he will give you wisdom

so you will make fair decisions

when you judge his people.

Then they will be successful

and famous forever.
