Exodus 28

YHWH instructs Moshe to make sacred garments for Aharon and his sons, including the ephod, breastpiece with twelve stones for Bnei Yisra'el and Urim ve-Tummim, robe with bells and pomegranates, turban with 'Holy to YHWH', to consecrate them as priests bearing the names and judgments of Israel before YHWH.[1][2][3]
