Context of Exodus 39:6

4They 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. They mounted the onyx stones in gold settings, and engraved on them the names of the sons of Israel. 7Then they fastened them on the shoulder straps of the ephod as a reminder of who the Israelites are. They followed the Lord’s instructions to Moses. 8They made the breastplate as creatively as they made the ephod. It was made out of gold, violet, purple, and bright red yarn, and of fine linen yarn.
