Exodus 28:2-17
-
2 And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty.
-
3 And thou shalt speak unto all that are wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to consecrate him, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
-
4 And these are the garments which they shall make; a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle: and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the priest's office.
-
5 And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen.
-
6 And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work.
-
7 It shall have the two shoulderpieces thereof joined at the two edges thereof; and so it shall be joined together.
-
8 And the curious girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according to the work thereof; even of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
-
9 And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel:
-
10 Six of their names on one stone, and the other six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.
-
11 With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel: thou shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold.
-
12 And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod for stones of memorial unto the children of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.
-
13 And thou shalt make ouches of gold;
-
14 And two chains of pure gold at the ends; of wreathen work shalt thou make them, and fasten the wreathen chains to the ouches.
-
15 And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twined linen, shalt thou make it.
-
16 Foursquare it shall be being doubled; a span shall be the length thereof, and a span shall be the breadth thereof.
-
17 And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this shall be the first row.
