5. And they shall take gold, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen.

6. And they shall make the ephod of gold, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen, embroidered with divers colours.

7. It shall have the two edges joined in the top on both sides, that they may be closed together.

8. The very workmanship also and all the variety of the work shall be of gold, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.

9. And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and shalt grave on them the names of the children of Israel:

10. Six names on one stone, and the other six on the other, according to the order of their birth.

11. With the work of an engraver and the graving of a jeweller, thou shalt engrave them with the names of the children of Israel, set in gold and compassed about:

12. And thou shalt put them in both sides of the ephod, a memorial for the children of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord upon both shoulders, for a remembrance.

13. Thou shalt make also hooks of gold.

14. And two little chains of the purest gold linked one to another, which thou shalt put into the hooks.

15. And thou shalt make the rational of judgment with embroidered work of divers colours, according to the workmanship of the ephod, of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.

17. And thou shalt set in it four rows of stones: in the first row shall be a sardius stone, and a topaz, and an emerald:

18. In the second a carbuncle, a sapphire and a jasper.
