Exodus 28:6-14

Modern English Version

The Ephod^(A)

⁶ They shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and of purple, of scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of a skilled workman. ⁷ It shall have the two shoulder pieces attached to its two corners, so it shall be joined together. ⁸ The skillfully woven waistband of the ephod, which is on it, shall be of the same workmanship, of the same material: of gold, of blue and purple, and scarlet, and fine twisted linen.

⁹ You shall take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel, ¹⁰ six of their names on one stone, and the other six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth. ¹¹ With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel. You shall set them in filigree of gold. ¹² You shall put the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod as stones of memorial for the children of Israel, and Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord on his two shoulders as a memorial. ¹³ You shall make filigree settings of gold, ¹⁴ and two chains of pure gold. You shall make them of twisted cord and fasten the braided chains to the filigree settings.
