Context of Exodus 28:14

12Fix the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod so that they show the names of the 12 sons of Israel. Aaron will carry the names on his shoulders as he serves the Lord. Then the Lord will remember to bless his people. 13Use gold to make beautiful pieces to hold the stones. And use pure gold to make two thin chains, like strings. Fix these chains to the gold pieces that hold the onyx stones. 15A worker must use special skills to make a breastpiece so that it looks beautiful. The breastpiece will help the priest to know what God is saying. Make it like the ephod. Use gold, blue, purple and red material, and good linen to make it. 16Bend a piece of cloth over to make a square pocket, 22 centimetres long and 22 centimetres wide.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 6-14Verses 6-14 This richly-wrought ephod was the outmost garment of the high priest; plain linen ephods were worn by the inferior priests. It was a short coat without sleeves, fastened close to the body with a girdle.

Thus Christ, our High Priest, presents his people before the Lord for a memorial. As…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 6-14the ephod: The ephod was a kind of apron consisting of front and back pieces joined by shoulder straps and secured with a decorative sash (28:7, 8, 27–28).
