Exodus 28:6-16 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

6. and they will make the ephod of gold, blue and purple, and crimson yarns, and finely twisted linen, the work of a skilled craftsman.

7. It will have two joining shoulder pieces at its two edges, so that it can be fastened.

8. And the waistband of his ephod, which is on it, will be of like work to it—gold, blue, and purple and crimson yarns and finely twisted linen.

9. “And you will take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the Israelites,

10. with six of their names on the one stone and the remaining six on the second, according to their genealogies.

11. As the work of a skilled stone craftsman, with seal engravings you will engrave on the two stones the names of the Israelites; you will make them mounted in gold filigree settings.

12. And you will set the two stones on the ephod’s shoulder pieces as stones of remembrance for the Israelites, and Aaron will bear their names before Yahweh on his two shoulder pieces for remembrance.

13. “And you will make gold filigree settings.

14. And you will make two braided chains of pure gold ornamental cord work, and you will put the chains of the ornamental cords on the filigree settings.

15. And you will make a breast piece of judgment, a work of a skilled craftsman; you will make it like the work of the ephod; you will make it of gold, blue and purple and crimson yarns, and finely twisted linen.

16. It will be squared, doubled, a span its length and a span its width.
