⁴“These are the garments which they shall make: a ^1abreastpiece and an ephod and a robe and a tunic of checkered work, a turban and a sash, and they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother and his sons, in order for him to minister as priest to Me.

⁵“They shall take ^athe gold and the ¹blue and the purple and the scarlet material and the fine linen.

⁶“They shall also make ^athe ephod of gold, of ¹blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of the skillful designer.

⁷“It shall have two shoulder pieces joined to its two ends, that it may be joined.

⁸“The skillfully woven band, which is on it, shall be like its workmanship, ¹of the same material: of gold, of ²blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen.

⁹“You shall take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel,

¹⁰six of their names on the one stone and the names of the remaining six on the second stone, according to their birth.

¹¹“¹As a jeweler engraves a signet, you shall engrave the two stones according to the names of the sons of Israel; you shall set them all around in filigree settings of gold.

¹²“You shall put the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, as stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel, and Aaron shall ^abear their names before Yahweh on his two shoulders ^bfor remembrance.
