And take thou unto thee, Aaron thy brother and his sons with him, from
among the children of Israel, that he may minister unto me: both Aaron,
Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons. And thou shalt make
holy raiment for Aaron thy brother, both honourable and glorious.
Moreover speak unto all that are wise hearted, which I have filled with
the spirit of wisdom: that they make Aaron's raiment to consecrate him
with, that he may minister unto me. These are the garments which they
shall make: a breastlap, Ephod, a tunicle, a strait coat, a mitre and a
girdle. And they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother and his
sons, that he may minister unto me. And they shall take thereto, gold,
jacinth, scarlet, purple and byss. And they shall make the Ephod of
gold, jacinth, scarlet, purple and white twined byss with broidered
work. The two sides shall come together, closed up in the edges
thereof. And the girdle of the Ephod shall be of the same workmanship
and of the same stuff: even of gold, jacinth, scarlet, purple and
twined byss. And thou shalt take two onyx stones and grave in them the
names of the children of Israel: fix in the one stone, and the other
fix in the other stone: according to the order of their birth. After
the work of a stone graver, even as signets are graven, shalt thou
grave the two stones with the names of the children of Israel, and
shalt make them to be set in ouches of gold. And thou shalt put the two
stones upon the two shoulders of the Ephod, and they shall be stones of
remembrance unto the children of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their
names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a remembrance. And
thou shalt make hooks of gold and two chains of fine gold: link work
and wreathed, and fasten the wreathed chains to the hooks. And thou
shalt make the breastlap of ensample {judgement} with broidered work:
even after the work of the Ephod shalt thou make it: of gold, jacinth,
scarlet, purple and twined byss shalt thou make it. Foursquare it shall
be and double, an hand breadth long and an hand breadth broad. And thou
shalt fill it with four rows of stones. In the first row shall be a
Sardius, a Topas and Smaragdus. The second row, a Ruby, Sapphire and
Diamond. The third: Ligurius, an Achat and Amethyst. The fourth: a
Turcois Onyx and Iasper. And they shall be set in gold in their
enclosures. And the stones shall be graven as signets be graven: with
the names of the children of Israel, even with twelve names every one
with his name according to the twelve tribes. And thou shalt make upon
the breastlap two fastening chains of pure gold and wreathen work. And
thou shalt make likewise upon the breastlap two rings of gold and put
them on the edges of the breastlap, and put the two wreathen chains of
gold in the two rings which are in the edges of the breastlap. And the
two ends of the two chains thou shalt fasten in the two rings, and put
them upon the shoulders of the Ephod: on the foreside of it. And thou
