4. These are the clothes they will make: a breastplate, an ephod and the robe that is worn with it, another specially woven linen robe, the chief priest’s turban, and a cloth belt. They will make these holy clothes for your brother Aaron and his sons so that they can serve me as priests.
5. They must use gold, violet, purple, and bright red yarn, and fine linen.
6. “Make the ephod out of fine linen yarn. Creatively work gold, violet, purple, and bright red yarn into the fabric.
7. It will have two shoulder straps attached at the ⌊top⌋ corners so that it can be fastened.
8. Make the belt that is attached to the ephod out of the same fabric.
9. Take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel
10. in birth order—six of their names on one stone and the remaining six on the other.
11. Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the same way a jeweler engraves a signet ring. Mount them in gold settings,
12. and fasten them on the shoulder straps of the ephod as reminders of who the Israelites are. In this way Aaron will carry their names on his shoulders as a reminder in the Lord’s presence.
13. Make gold settings
14. and two chains of pure gold, twisted like ropes, and fasten these chains to the settings.
15. “Make the breastplate for decision-making as creatively as you make the ephod. Make it out of gold, violet, purple, and bright red yarn and out of fine linen yarn.
