Then dress Aaron in the priestly garments---the shirt, the robe that goes under the ephod, the ephod, the breastpiece, and the belt.

Then take the anointing oil, pour it on his head, and anoint him.

put sashes around their waists and tie caps on their heads. That is how you are to ordain Aaron and his sons. They and their descendants are to serve me as priests forever.

the magnificent priestly garments for Aaron and his sons to use when they serve as priests,

With the blue, purple, and red wool they made the magnificent garments which the priests were to wear when they served in the Holy Place. They made the priestly garments for Aaron, as the LORD had commanded Moses.

They made the ephod of fine linen; blue, purple, and red wool; and gold thread.

Dress Aaron in the priestly garments, anoint him, and in this way consecrate him, so that he can serve me as priest.

He put the shirt and the robe on Aaron and the sash around his waist. He put the ephod on him and fastened it by putting its finely woven belt around his waist.

He placed the turban on his head, and on the front of it he put the gold ornament, the sacred sign of dedication, just as the LORD had commanded him.

and there remove Aaron's priestly robes and put them on Eleazar. Aaron is going to die there."

and Moses removed Aaron's priestly robes and put them on Eleazar. There on the top of the mountain Aaron died, and Moses and Eleazar came back down.

May your priests do always what is right; may your people shout for joy!

I will bless her priests in all they do, and her people will sing and shout for joy.

To give to those who mourn in Zion Joy and gladness instead of grief, A song of praise instead of sorrow. They will be like trees That the LORD himself has planted. They will all do what is right, And God will be praised for what he has done.

Jerusalem rejoices because of what the LORD has done. She is like a bride dressed for her wedding. God has clothed her with salvation and victory.

All of us have been sinful; even our best actions are filthy through and through. Because of our sins we are like leaves that wither and are blown away by the wind.

Joshua was standing there, wearing filthy clothes.

The angel said to his heavenly attendants, "Take away the filthy clothes this man is wearing." Then he said to Joshua, "I have taken away your sin and will give you new clothes to wear."

God puts people right through their faith in Jesus Christ. God does this to all who believe in Christ, because there is no difference at all:

But take up the weapons of the Lord Jesus Christ, and stop paying attention to your sinful nature and satisfying its desires.

You were baptized into union with Christ, and now you are clothed, so to speak, with the life of Christ himself.

Jesus, then, is the High Priest that meets our needs. He is holy; he has no fault or sin in him; he has been set apart from sinners and raised above the heavens.

She has been given clean shining linen to wear." (The linen is the good deeds of God's people.)

"Make shirts, sashes, and caps for Aaron's sons, to provide them with dignity and beauty.

Now, if you will obey me and keep my covenant, you will be my own people. The whole earth is mine, but you will be my chosen people,

a people dedicated to me alone, and you will serve me as priests."

Give him some of your own authority, so that the whole community of Israel will obey him.

He will depend on Eleazar the priest, who will learn my will by using the Urim and Thummim. In this way Eleazar will direct Joshua and the whole community of Israel in all their affairs."

If so, stand up in your honor and pride; clothe yourself with majesty and glory.

Let us, your servants, see your mighty deeds; let our descendants see your glorious might.

Lord our God, may your blessings be with us. Give us success in all we do!

Glory and majesty surround him; power and beauty fill his Temple.

The LORD takes pleasure in his people; he honors the humble with victory.

The time is coming when the LORD will make every plant and tree in the land grow large and beautiful. All the people of Israel who survive will take delight and pride in the crops that the land produces.

The LORD says, "The wise should not boast of their wisdom, nor the strong of their strength, nor the rich of their wealth.

If any want to boast, they should boast that they know and understand me, because my love is constant, and I do what is just and right. These are the things that please me. I, the LORD, have spoken."

The Word became a human being and, full of grace and truth, lived among us. We saw his glory, the glory which he received as the Father's only Son.

But God has brought you into union with Christ Jesus, and God has made Christ to be our wisdom. By him we are put right with God; we become God's holy people and are set free.

So then, as the scripture says, "Whoever wants to boast must boast of what the Lord has done."

But we do see Jesus, who for a little while was made lower than the angels, so that through God's grace he should die for everyone. We see him now crowned with glory and honor because of the death he suffered.

We were there when he was given honor and glory by God the Father, when the voice came to him from the Supreme Glory, saying, "This is my own dear Son, with whom I am pleased!"

My dear friends, we are now God's children, but it is not yet clear what we shall become. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he really is.

You have made them a kingdom of priests to serve our God, and they shall rule on earth."
