Context of Exodus 39:2

1From the violet, purple, and bright red yarn they made special clothes worn for official duties in the holy place. They also made the holy clothes for Aaron. They followed the Lord’s instructions to Moses. They made the ephod out of fine linen yarn and gold, violet, purple, and bright red yarn. 3They hammered the gold into thin sheets and cut them up. They twisted the gold into threads, which they creatively worked into each strand of the violet, purple, and bright red yarn, and throughout the fine linen. 4They made two shoulder straps attached at the ⌞top⌟ corners so that the ephod could be fastened.
