Exodus 28:2-20

2You shall make 1holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty. 3You shall speak to all the 23skillful persons 4whom I have endowed with 5the spirit of wisdom, that they make Aaron’s garments to consecrate him, that he may minister as priest to Me. 4These are the garments which they shall make: a 67breastpiece and an ephod and a robe and a tunic of checkered work, a turban and a sash, and they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother and his sons, that he may minister as priest to Me. 5They shall take 8the gold and the 9blue and the purple and the scarlet material and the fine linen.

6“They shall also make 10the ephod of gold, of 11blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of the skillful workman. 7It shall have two shoulder pieces joined to its two ends, that it may be joined. 8The skillfully woven band, which is on it, shall be like its workmanship, 12of the same material: of gold, of 13blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen. 9You shall take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel, 10six of their names on the one stone and the names of the remaining six on the 14other stone, according to their birth. 1115As a jeweler engraves a signet, you shall engrave the two stones according to the names of the sons of Israel; you shall 16set them in filigree settings of gold. 12You shall put the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, as stones of memorial for the sons of Israel, and Aaron shall 17bear their names before the Lord on his two shoulders 18for a memorial. 1319You shall make filigree settings of gold, 14and two chains of pure gold; you shall make them of twisted cordage work, and you shall put the corded chains on the filigree settings.

15“20You shall make a 21breastpiece of judgment, the work of a skillful workman; like the work of the ephod you shall make it: of gold, of 22blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen you shall make it. 16It shall be square and folded double, a span 23in length and a span 24in width. 17You shall 25mount on it four rows of stones; the first row shall be a row of ruby, topaz and emerald; 18and the second row a turquoise, a sapphire and a diamond; 19and the third row a jacinth, an agate and an amethyst; 20and the fourth row a beryl and an onyx and a jasper; they shall be 26set in gold filigree.
