Exodus 28:6–14

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 workman.

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 ¹other 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 ²set them in filigree settings of gold.

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

¹³“^aYou shall make filigree settings of gold,

¹⁴and two chains of pure gold; you shall make them of twisted cordage work, and you shall put the corded chains on the filigree settings.
