1. From the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn they made woven garments for serving in the sanctuary; they made holy garments that were for Aaron, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
2. He made the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen.
3. They hammered the gold into thin sheets and cut it into narrow strips to weave them into the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and into the fine linen, the work of an artistic designer.
4. They made shoulder pieces for it, attached to two of its corners, so it could be joined together.
5. The artistically woven waistband of the ephod that was on it was like it, of one piece with it, of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
6. They set the onyx stones in gold filigree settings, engraved as with the engravings of a seal with the names of the sons of Israel.
7. He put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as stones of memorial for the Israelites, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
8. He made the breastpiece, the work of an artistic designer, in the same fashion as the ephod, of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine twisted linen.
9. It was square – they made the breastpiece doubled, nine inches long and nine inches wide when doubled.
10. They set on it four rows of stones: a row with a ruby, a topaz, and a beryl – the first row;
11. and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;
12. and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
13. and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in gold filigree settings.
