⁴These are the clothes they will make: a breastplate, an ephod and the robe that is worn with it, another specially woven linen robe, the chief priest’s turban, and a cloth belt. They will make these holy clothes for your brother Aaron and his sons so that they can serve me as priests. ⁵They must use gold, violet, purple, and bright red yarn, and fine linen.

The Ephod—Exodus 39:2–7

⁶“Make the ephod out of fine linen yarn. Creatively work gold, violet, purple, and bright red yarn into the fabric. ⁷It will have two shoulder straps attached at the ⸤top⸥ corners so that it can be fastened. ⁸Make the belt that is attached to the ephod out of the same fabric. ⁹Take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel ¹⁰in birth order—six of their names on one stone and the remaining six on the other. ¹¹Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the same way a jeweler engraves a signet ring. Mount them in gold settings, ¹²and fasten them on the shoulder straps of the ephod as reminders of who the Israelites are. In this way Aaron will carry their names on his shoulders as a reminder in the Lord’s presence.
