and they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they go in unto the tent of meeting, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute for ever unto him and unto his seed after him.

Aaron and his sons are to put these on whenever they go into the Tent of meeting or come near the altar, when they are doing the work of the holy place, so that they may be free from any sin causing death: this is to be an order for him and his seed after him for ever.

και θελουσιν εισθαι επι του Ααρων και επι των υιων αυτου, οταν εισερχωνται εις την σκηνην του μαρτυριου η οταν πλησιαζωσιν εις το θυσιαστηριον δια να λειτουργησωσιν εν τω αγιω, δια να μη φερωσιν εφ' εαυτους ανομιαν και αποθανωσι τουτο θελει εισθαι νομος παντοτεινος εις αυτον και εις το σπερμα αυτου μετ' αυτον.

And they shall be upon Aaron, and upon his sons, when they come in unto the tabernacle of the congregation, or when they come near unto the altar to minister in the holy place; that they bear not iniquity, and die: it shall be a statute for ever unto him and his seed after him.
