Exodus 28:6-14

New American Standard Bible 1995

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