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.
