Exodus 28:6-14

6and they shall make the ephod of gold and blue, purple, and scarlet fabric and fine twisted linen, skillfully woven and [beautifully] worked.

7It is to have two shoulder pieces joined to its two [back and front] ends, so that it may be joined together.

8And the skillfully woven sash, which is on the ephod shall be made of the same material: of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet fabric and fine twisted linen.

9You shall take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the [twelve] sons of Israel,

10six of their names on one stone and the remaining six names on the other stone, arranged in the order of their births.

11With the work of a jeweler, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones according to the names of the sons of Israel. You shall have them set in filigree [settings] of gold.

12You shall put the two stones on the [two] shoulder pieces of the ephod [of the high priest], as memorial stones for Israel; and Aaron shall bear their names on his two shoulders as a memorial before the Lord.

13You shall make filigree [settings] of gold,

14and you are to make two chains of pure gold like twisted cords, and fasten the corded chains to the settings.
