Exodus 39:3-7

3They hammered the gold into thin sheets and cut it into narrow strips to weave them into the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and into the fine linen, the work of an artistic designer.

4They made shoulder pieces for it, attached to two of its corners, so it could be joined together.

5The artistically woven waistband of the ephod that was on it was like it, of one piece with it, of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and fine twisted linen, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

6They set the onyx stones in gold filigree settings, engraved as with the engravings of a seal with the names of the sons of Israel.

7He put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as stones of memorial for the Israelites, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
