*
And of the blue and purple and scarlet stuff they made finely wrought garments ,
for ministering in the holy place ;
they made the holy garments for Aaron ;
as the LORD had commanded Moses .
*
And he made the ephod of gold ,
blue and purple and scarlet stuff ,
and fine twined linen .
*
And gold leaf was hammered out and cut into threads to work into the blue and purple and the scarlet stuff ,
and into the fine twined linen ,
in skilled design .
*
They made for the ephod shoulder-pieces ,
joined to it at its two edges .
*
And the skilfully woven band upon it ,
to gird it on ,
was of the same materials and workmanship ,
of gold ,
blue and purple and scarlet stuff ,
and fine twined linen ;
as the LORD had commanded Moses .
*
The onyx stones were prepared ,
enclosed in settings of gold filigree and engraved like the engravings of a signet ,
according to the names of the sons of Israel .
*
And he set them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod ,
to be stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel ;
as the LORD had commanded Moses .
*
He made the breastpiece ,
in skilled work ,
like the work of the ephod ,
of gold ,
blue and purple and scarlet stuff ,
and fine twined linen .
*
It was square ;
the breastpiece was made double ,
a span its length and a span its breadth when doubled .
*
And they set in it four rows of stones .
A row of sardius ,
topaz ,
and carbuncle was the first row ;
*
and the second row ,
an emerald ,
a sapphire ,
and a diamond ;
*
and the third row ,
a jacinth ,
an agate ,
and an amethyst ;
*
and the fourth row ,
a beryl ,
an onyx ,
and a jasper ;
they were enclosed in settings of gold filigree .
*
There were twelve stones with their names according to the names of the sons of Israel ;
they were like signets ,
each engraved with its name ,
for the twelve tribes .
*
And they made on the breastpiece twisted chains like cords ,
of pure gold ;
*
and they made two settings of gold filigree and two gold rings ,
and put the two rings on the two edges of the breastpiece ;
*
and they put the two cords of gold in the two rings at the edges of the breastpiece .
*
Two ends of the two cords they had attached to the two settings of filigree ;
thus they attached it in front to the shoulder-pieces of the ephod .
*
Then they made two rings of gold ,
and put them at the two ends of the breastpiece ,
on its inside edge next to the ephod .
*
And they made two rings of gold ,
and attached them in front to the lower part of the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod ,
at its joining above the skilfully woven band of the ephod .
*
And they bound the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue ,
so that it should lie upon the skilfully woven band of the ephod ,
and that the breastpiece should not come loose from the ephod ;
as the LORD had commanded Moses .
*
He also made the robe of the ephod woven all of blue ;
*
and the opening of the robe in it was like the opening in a garment ,
with a binding around the opening ,
that it might not be torn .
*
On the skirts of the robe they made pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet stuff and fine twined linen .
*
They also made bells of pure gold ,
and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the skirts of the robe round about ,
between the pomegranates ;
*
a bell and a pomegranate ,
a bell and a pomegranate round about upon the skirts of the robe for ministering ;
as the LORD had commanded Moses .
*
They also made the coats ,
woven of fine linen ,
for Aaron and his sons ,
*
and the turban of fine linen ,
and the caps of fine linen ,
and the linen breeches of fine twined linen ,
*
and the girdle of fine twined linen and of blue and purple and scarlet stuff ,
embroidered with needlework ;
as the LORD had commanded Moses .
*
And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold ,
and wrote upon it an inscription ,
like the engraving of a signet , "
Holy to the LORD ."
*
And they tied to it a lace of blue ,
to fasten it on the turban above ;
as the LORD had commanded Moses .
