Context of Exodus 39:4

2They 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. They made two shoulder straps attached at the ⌞top⌟ corners so that the ephod could be fastened. 5They made the belt that is attached to the ephod out of the same fabric. They followed the Lord’s instructions to Moses. 6They mounted the onyx stones in gold settings, and engraved on them the names of the sons of Israel.
