And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the curious girdle of the ephod:
Take the special clothing and dress Aaron in the tunic, the robe that goes under the ephod, the ephod itself, and the breastplate. Then tie the beautifully crafted belt of the ephod around him.
God is giving Moses detailed instructions for dressing Aaron in the sacred priestly garments that will set him apart for holy service.
