Explained for Children
Imagine you're making a really special necklace for your friend. This necklace has four rows of pretty, shiny stones. The first row has three special stones: a red one, a yellow one, and a bright red one. Just like you would carefully choose and place each stone, the people making the High Priest's special clothing were very careful with every detail.
