Exodus - ch 28 v 1 - 20
- And thou shalt take thee Aaron thy brother, and his sons with him, from among the children of Israel, that he may serve me as priest -- Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, Aaron's sons.
- And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, for glory and for ornament.
- And thou shalt speak with all that are wise-hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments to hallow him, that he may serve me as priest.
- And these are the garments which they shall make: a breastplate, and an ephod, and a cloak, and a checkered vest, a turban, and a girdle; and they shall make holy garments for Aaron thy brother, and his sons, that he may serve me as priest.
- And they shall take gold, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus,
- and shall make the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, scarlet and twined byssus, of artistic work.
- It shall have two shoulder-pieces joined at the two ends thereof, where it is joined together.
- And the girdle of the ephod, which is upon it, shall be of the same, according to its work of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet and twined byssus.
- And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel:
- six of their names on the one stone, and the six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.
- According to the work of an engraver in stone, as the engravings of a seal, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel; surrounded by enclosures of gold shalt thou make them.
- And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod as stones of memorial for the children of Israel; and Aaron shall bear their names before Jehovah upon his two shoulders for a memorial.
- And thou shalt make enclosures of gold;
- and two chains of pure gold; of laced work shalt thou make them, of wreathen work, and fasten the wreathen chains to the enclosures.
- And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment of artistic work, like the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus shalt thou make it.
- Square shall it be, doubled; a span the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof.
- And thou shalt set in it settings of stones -- four rows of stones: one row, a sardoin, a topaz, and an emerald -- the first row;
- and the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond;
- and the third row, an opal, an agate, and an amethyst;
- and the fourth row, a chrysolite, and an onyx, and a jasper; enclosed in gold shall they be in their settings.
