1
From the o blue and purple and scarlet yarns they made p finely woven garments, for ministering in the Holy Place. They made the holy garments for Aaron, q as the Lord had commanded Moses.
2
r He made the ephod of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen.
3
And they hammered out gold leaf, and he cut it into threads to work into the blue and purple and the scarlet yarns, and into the fine twined linen, in skilled design.
4
They made for the ephod attaching shoulder pieces, joined to it at its two edges.
5
And the skillfully woven band on it was of one piece with it and made like it, of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
6
They made the onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold filigree, and engraved like the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the sons of Israel.
7
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.
8
s He made the breastpiece, in skilled work, in the style of the ephod, of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen.
9
It was square. They made the breastpiece doubled, a span its length and a span its breadth when doubled.
10
And they set in it four rows of stones. A row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle was the first row;
11
and the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond;
12
and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
13
and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in settings of gold filigree.
14

16
And they made two settings of gold filigree and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two edges of the breastpiece.
17
And they put the two cords of gold in the two rings at the edges of the breastpiece.
18

19
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.
20
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 seam above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.
21
And they bound the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, so that it should lie on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastpiece should not come loose from the ephod, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
22
t He also made the robe of the ephod woven all of blue,
23
and the opening of the robe in it was like the opening in a garment, with a binding around the opening, so that it might not tear.
24
On the hem of the robe they made pomegranates of blue and purple and scarlet yarns and fine twined linen.
25
They also made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates all around the hem of the robe, between the pomegranates -
26
a bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate around the hem of the robe for ministering, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

29
and the sash of fine twined linen and of blue and purple and scarlet yarns, embroidered with needlework, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
