1 And he made, of violet and purple, scarlet and fine linen, the vestments for Aaron to wear when he ministered in the holy places, as the Lord commanded Moses.
2 So he made an ephod of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.
3 With embroidered work: and he cut thin plates of gold, and drew them small into threads, that they might be twisted with the woof of the aforesaid colours,
4 And two borders coupled one to the other in the top on either side,
5 And a girdle of the same colours, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
6 He prepared also two onyx stones, fast set and closed in gold, and graven by the art of a lapidary, with the names of the children of Israel:
7 And he set them in the sides of the ephod for a memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
