And these shall be the vestments that they shall make: A rational and an ephod, a tunick and a strait linen garment, a mitre and a girdle. They shall make the holy vestments for thy brother Aaron and his sons, that they may do the office of priesthood unto me.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Hæc autem erunt vestimenta quæ faciet : rationale et superhumerale, tunicam et lineam strictam, cidarim et balteum. Facient vestimenta sancta fratri tuo Aaron et filiis ejus, ut sacerdotio fungantur mihi.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ αὗται αἱ στολαὶ ἃς ποιήσουσιν· τὸ περιστήθιον καὶ τὴν ἐπωμίδα καὶ τὸν ποδήρη χιτῶνα κοσυμβωτὸν καὶ κίδαριν καὶ ζώνην· καὶ ποιήσουσιν στολὰς ἁγίας Ἀαρὼν καὶ τοῖς υἱοῖς αὐτοῦ εἰς τὸ ἱερατεύειν μοι.

Haydock's commentary
Rational and ephod. See chap. xxv. 7.
Tunic, long robe or cloak of blue wool.
Garment, next the body, and woven very close and thick.
Mitre, like a tiara or turban of linen, or rather of byssus, or fine cotton. This was never laid aside in the temple; as, to appear uncovered was then esteemed a mark of insolence. Eneas introduced the Phrygian custom into Italy, of sacrificing with a cap on the head.
Girdle, for his under-garment, besides that which formed a part of the ephod. (Calmet)
By these vestments, we are admonished to exercise the virtues of discretion, &c. (St. Jerome, ep. ad Fab.)
