Exodus 28:6–14

⁶And they shall make the ephod of gold, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen, embroidered with divers colours.

⁷It shall have the two edges joined in the top on both sides, that they may be closed together.

⁸The very workmanship also, and all the variety of the work, shall be of gold, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.

⁹And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and shalt grave on them the names of the children of Israel:

¹⁰Six names on one stone, and the other six on the other, according to the order of their birth.

¹¹With the work of an engraver, and the graving of a jeweller, thou shalt engrave them with the names of the children of Israel, set in gold and compassed about:

¹²And thou shalt put them in both sides of the ephod, a memorial for the children of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord upon both shoulders, for a remembrance.

¹³Thou shalt make also hooks of gold.

¹⁴And two little chains of the purest gold, linked one to another, which thou shalt put into the hooks.
