1 And of the blue and purple and scarlet stuff they made finely wrought garments, for ministering in the holy place; they made the holy garments for Aaron; as YHVH had commanded Moses.
2 And he made the ephod of gold, blue and purple and scarlet stuff, and fine twined linen.
3 And gold leaf was hammered out and cut into threads to work into the blue and purple and the scarlet stuff, and into the fine twined linen, in skilled design.
4 They made for the ephod shoulder-pieces, joined to it at its two edges.
5 And the skillfully woven band upon it, to gird it on, was of the same materials and workmanship, of gold, blue and purple and scarlet stuff, and fine twined linen; as YHVH had commanded Moses.
6 The onyx stones were prepared, enclosed in settings of gold filigree and engraved like the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the sons of Israel.
7 And he set them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, to be stones of remembrance for the sons of Israel; as YHVH had commanded Moses.
8 He made the breastpiece, in skilled work, like the work of the ephod, of gold, blue and purple and scarlet stuff, and fine twined linen.
9 It was square; the breastpiece was made double, a span its length and a span its breadth when doubled.
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 settings of gold filigree.
14 There were twelve stones with their names according to the names of the sons of Israel; they were like signets, each engraved with its name, for the twelve tribes.
15 And they made on the breastpiece twisted chains like cords, of pure gold;
16 and they made two settings of gold filigree and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two edges of the breastpiece;
17 and they put the two cords of gold in the two rings at the edges of the breastpiece.
18 Two ends of the two cords they had attached to the two settings of filigree; thus they attached it in front to the shoulder-pieces of the ephod.
19 Then they made two rings of gold, and put them at the two ends of the breastpiece, on its inside edge next to the ephod.
20 And they made two rings of gold, and attached them in front to the lower part of the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod, at its joining above the skilfully woven band of the ephod.
