4And these are the garments that they will make: A breast piece and an ephod and a robe and a tunic of specially woven fabric,e a turban and a sash. And they will make holy garmentsf for Aaron your brother, and for his sons to serve as priests for me.

5“And they will take the gold and the blue and the purple and the crimson yarns and the fine linen, 6and they will make the ephod of gold, blue and purple, and crimson yarns, and finely twisted linen, the work of a skilled craftsman. 7It will have two joining shoulder pieces at its two edges, so that it can be fastened. 8And the waistband of his ephod, which is on it, will be of like work to it—gold, blue, and purple and crimson yarns and finely twisted linen.

9“And you will take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the Israelites,g 10with six of their names on the one stone and the remaining six on the second, according to their genealogies.h 11As the work of a skilled stone craftsman, with seal engravings you will engrave on the two stones the names of the Israelites;i you will make them mounted in gold filigree settings. 12And you will set the two stones on the ephod’s shoulder pieces as stones of remembrance for the Israelites,j and Aaron will bear their names before Yahweh on his two shoulder pieces for remembrance.
