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.

¹³“And you will make gold filigree settings. ¹⁴And you will make two braided chains of pure gold ornamental cord work, and you will put the chains of the ornamental cords on the filigree settings. ¹⁵And you will make a breast piece of judgment, a work of a skilled craftsman; you will make it like the work of the ephod; you will make it of gold, blue and purple and crimson yarns, and finely twisted linen.
