Exodus 28:5-12

5“They shall take the gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and the fine linen,

6and they shall make the ephod of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, artistically worked.

7It shall have two shoulder straps joined at its two edges, and so it shall be joined together.

8And the intricately woven band of the ephod, which is on it, shall be of the same workmanship, made of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen.

9“Then you shall take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:

10six of their names on one stone and six names on the other stone, in order of their birth.

11With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel. You shall set them in settings of gold.

12And you shall put the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. So Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord on his two shoulders as a memorial.
