Context of Exodus 28:10
8Make the belt that is attached to the ephod out of the same fabric. 9Take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel in birth order—six of their names on one stone and the remaining six on the other. 11Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the same way a jeweler engraves a signet ring. Mount them in gold settings, 12and fasten them on the shoulder straps of the ephod as reminders of who the Israelites are. In this way Aaron will carry their names on his shoulders as a reminder in the Lord’s presence.

- 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).
