42 Nihcae ih takpum to khuk hanah, kaeng hoi phaih khoek to kapha, puu ngan kahni to sah pae ah.
And thou shalt make them linen trousers to cover the flesh of nakedness; from the loins even to the hips shall they reach.

And they shall be upon Aaron and his sons when they enter into the tent of meeting, or when they come near to the altar to serve in the sanctuary; that they may not bear iniquity and die — an everlasting statute for him and his seed after him.
