1. And of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made finely wrought garments, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the Lord commanded Moses.
2. And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
3. And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, the work of the cunning workman.
4. They made shoulderpieces for it, joined together: at the two ends was it joined together.
5. And the cunningly woven band, that was upon it, to gird it on withal, was of the same piece and like the work thereof; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the Lord commanded Moses.
6. And they wrought the onyx stones, enclosed in ouches of gold, graven with the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the children of Israel.
7. And he put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, to be stones of memorial for the children of Israel; as the Lord commanded Moses.
8. And he made the breastplate, the work of the cunning workman, like the work of the ephod; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9. It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being double.
10. And they set in it four rows of stones: a row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle was the first row.
11. And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
12. And the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst.
13. And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were enclosed in ouches of gold in their settings.
14. And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, every one according to his name, for the twelve tribes.
15. And they made upon the breastplate chains like cords, of wreathen work of pure gold.
16. And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
