Exodus 28:6-15

6“They are to make the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet and finely twisted linen, the work of the skillful craftsman.

7It is to have two shoulder pieces stitched to the two ends, so that it may be joined together.

8The skillfully woven band which is upon it, with which it is to be bound, is to be made like the design, and from the same piece of gold, blue, purple, scarlet and finely twisted linen.

9“You are to take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of Bnei-Yisrael:

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

11With the work of a gem cutter engraving a seal, etch the two stones, in the order of the names of Bnei-Yisrael. Make them enclosed in settings of gold.

12Fasten the two stones upon the shoulder pieces of the ephod, to be memorial stones for Bnei-Yisrael. So Aaron is to bear their names before Adonai on his two shoulders as a reminder.

13Fashion filigree settings of gold,

14along with two chains of pure gold, of braided work, and you will attach the chains to the filigree settings.

15“Make a breastplate of judgment, the work of a skillful craftsman. You are to make it like the design of the ephod—of gold, blue, purple, scarlet and finely twisted linen.
