Exodus 28:4–12

⁴‘And these are the garments which they make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and an upper robe, and an embroidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle; yea, they have made holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and for his sons, for his being priest to Me.

⁵‘And they take the gold, and the blue, and the purple, and the scarlet, and the linen.

⁶And have made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen, work of a designer; ⁷it hath two shoulders joining at its two ends, and it is joined. ⁸‘And the girdle of his ephod which is on him, according to its work, is of the same, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.

⁹‘And thou hast taken the two shoham stones, and hast opened 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 births; ¹¹the work of an engraver in stone, openings of a signet, thou dost open the two stones by the names of the sons of Israel; turned round, embroidered with gold, thou dost make them.

¹²‘And thou hast set the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod—stones of memorial to the sons of Israel—and Aaron hath borne their names before Jehovah, on his two shoulders, for a memorial.
