MAKING THE EPHOD

²Bezalel^f made the ephod of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and of finely spun linen. ³They hammered out thin sheets of gold, and he^J cut threads from them to interweave with the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and the fine linen in a skillful design. ⁴They made shoulder pieces for attaching it; it was joined together at its two edges. ⁵The artistically woven waistband that was on the ephod was of one piece with the ephod, according to the same workmanship of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and of finely spun linen, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

⁶Then they mounted the onyx stones surrounded with gold filigree settings, engraved with the names of Israel’s sons as a gem cutter engraves a seal. ⁷He fastened them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the Israelites, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
