Primary Verses:
- Ex. 28:4-12
-
"And these are the garments
which they shall make;
a breastplate, and an ephod, and a robe, and a
broidered coat, a mitre, and a girdle:
and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother,
and his sons, that he may minister unto me in the
priest's office. And they shall take gold, and blue,
and purple, and scarlet, and fine linen. And they shall
make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of
scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cunning work. It
shall have the two shoulderpieces thereof joined at the
two edges thereof; and so it shall be joined together.
And the curious girdle of the ephod, which is upon it,
shall be of the same, according to the work thereof;
even of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine
twined linen. And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and
grave on them the names of the children of Israel: Six
of their names on one stone, and the other six names of
the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.
With the work of an engraver in stone, like the
engravings of a signet, shalt thou engrave the two
stones with the names of the children of Israel: thou
shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold. And thou
shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod
for stones of memorial unto the children of Israel: and
Aaron shall bear their names before YHVH upon his two
shoulders for a memorial."
