3. You shall speak to all who are specially skilled, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s garments to consecrate him, that he may minister to Me as a priest.
4. These are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and an embroidered coat, a turban, and a sash. They shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother and his sons, that he may minister to Me as priest.
5. They shall take the gold, the blue, the purple, and the scarlet, and fine linen.
6. They shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of a skilled workman.
7. It shall have the two shoulder pieces attached to its two corners, so it shall be joined together.
8. The skillfully woven waistband of the ephod, which is on it, shall be of the same workmanship, of the same material: of gold, of blue and purple, and scarlet, and fine twisted linen.
9. You shall take two onyx stones and engrave 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, you shall engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel. You shall set them in filigree of gold.
12. You shall put the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod as stones of memorial for the children of Israel, and Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord on his two shoulders as a memorial.
13. You shall make filigree settings of gold,
14. and two chains of pure gold. You shall make them of twisted cord and fasten the braided chains to the filigree settings.
15. You shall make the breastplate of judgment, the work of a skillful workman. You shall make it in the same manner as the ephod. Of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twisted linen you shall make it.
