The Ephod
39:2 He made the ephod of gold , blue , purple , scarlet , and fine twisted linen .
39:3 They hammered the gold into thin sheets and cut it into narrow strips to weave them into the blue , purple , and scarlet yarn , and into the fine linen , the work of an artistic designer .
39:4 They made shoulder pieces for it, attached to two of its corners , so it could be joined together.
39:5 The artistically woven waistband of the ephod that was on it was like it, of one piece with it, of gold , blue , purple , and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen , just as the Lord had commanded Moses .
39:6 They set the onyx stones in gold filigree settings , engraved as with the engravings of a seal with the names of the sons of Israel .
39:7 He put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as stones of memorial for the Israelites , just as the Lord had commanded Moses .
