Shabbat, 8 Adar, 5785 (8 March, 2025)
| God told Moses, “You will later command the Israelites to bring you clear olive oil crushed for the luminary, to kindle the lamp regularly. |
| 21 Aaron and his sons will set up the lighting apparatus in the Tent of Meeting outside the Curtain concealing the Ark of Testimony, before God, ensuring that the lamps burn from later afternoon until morning. This will be an eternal duty of the Israelites throughout their generations. |
Shemot (Exodus) Chapter 28
| 1 You must draw your brother Aaron to you from among the Israelites, together with his sons, to minister to Me as priests—Aaron, and with him Nadav, Avihu, Eleazar, and Itamar, the sons of Aaron. |
| 2 You must make sacred vestments for your brother Aaron, for dignity and splendor. |
| 3 You must speak to everyone who is wise of heart, in whom I have invested a spirit of wisdom, and they must make Aaron’s vestments to consecrate him to minister to Me. |
| 4 These are the vestments that they must make for the high priest: a Breastplate, an Ephod, a Robe, a Tunic of recessed checkered knit, a Turban, and a Sash. They must make sacred vestments for your brother Aaron and for his sons, so that they may minister to Me. |
| 5 The artisans must take the gold, the turquoise, purple, and scarlet wool, and the linen. |
| 6 The artisans must make the Ephod out of threads composed of gold, turquoise wool, purple wool, scarlet wool, and twined linen, with a woven design. |
| 7 It must have two shoulder straps attached to its top at its two visible ends, attached by sewing. |
| 8 The belt that fastens it and that is above it must be made like it, of one piece with it, woven out of threads composed of gold, turquoise wool, purple wool, scarlet wool, and twined linen. |
| 9 You must take the two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel— |
| 10 six of their names on one stone, and the remaining six names on the second stone—in the order of their birth. |
| 11 You must engrave the two stones with the names of Israel’s sons like a signet ring is engraved by a jeweler, and you must encase them in gold settings. |
| 12 You must affix the two stones to the upper ends of the shoulder straps of the Ephod as stones of remembrance of the sons of Israel. Aaron must carry their names on his two shoulders before God as a remembrance. |
