⁶ And out of the ^[a]temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, ^(A)clothed in pure bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands.

^13 (A)and in the midst of the seven lampstands ^(B)One like the Son of Man, ^(C)clothed with a garment down to the feet and ^(D)girded about the chest with a golden band.

Prelude to the Bowl Judgments

15 Then ^(A)I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: ^(B)seven angels having the seven last plagues, ^(C)for in them the wrath of God is complete.

¹⁷ And it shall be, whenever they enter the gates of the inner court, that ^(A)they shall put on linen garments; no wool shall come upon them while they minister within the gates of the inner court or within the house. ^18 (B)They shall have linen turbans on their heads and linen trousers on their bodies; they shall not clothe themselves with anything that causes sweat.

¹⁵ And another angel ^(A)came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, ^(B)“Thrust in Your sickle and reap, for the time has come ^[a]for You to reap, for the harvest ^(C)of the earth is ripe.”

⁴ And it happened, as they were ^[a]greatly perplexed about this, that ^(A)behold, two men stood by them in shining garments.

The Ephod

⁵ “They shall take the gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and the fine linen, ^6 (A)and they shall make the ephod of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, artistically worked. ⁷ It shall have two shoulder straps joined at its two edges, and so it shall be joined together. ⁸ And the ^[a]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.
