Other Priestly Garments
22 Bezalel made the robe that is worn with the ephod from a single piece of blue woven cloth,
23 with an opening for Aaron’s head in the middle of it. The opening was reinforced with a woven collar[a] so it would not tear.
24 They made pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and attached them to the hem of the robe.
25 They also made bells of pure gold and placed them between the pomegranates along the hem of the robe,
26 with bells and pomegranates alternating all around the hem. This robe was to be worn whenever the priest ministered before the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
27 They made tunics for Aaron and his sons from fine linen cloth.
28 The turban and the special head coverings were made of fine linen, and the undergarments were also made of finely woven linen.
29 The sashes were made of finely woven linen and embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet thread, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
30 Finally, they made the sacred medallion—the badge of holiness—of pure gold. They engraved it like a seal with these words: Holy to the Lord.
31 They attached the medallion with a blue cord to Aaron’s turban, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Luke 9:57-62
The Cost of Following Jesus
57 As they were walking along, someone said to Jesus, “I will follow you wherever you go.”
58 But Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens to live in, and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place even to lay his head.”
59 He said to another person, “Come, follow me.” The man agreed, but he said, “Lord, first let me return home and bury my father.”
60 But Jesus told him, “Let the spiritually dead bury their own dead! Your duty is to go and preach about the Kingdom of God.”
61 Another said, “Yes, Lord, I will follow you, but first let me say good-bye to my family.”
62 But Jesus told him, “Anyone who puts a hand to the plow and then looks back is not fit for the Kingdom of God.”
