Exodus - ch 39 v 1 - 20
- And he made, of violet and purple, scarlet and fine linen, the vestments for Aaron to wear when he ministered in the holy places, as the Lord commanded Moses.
- So he made an ephod of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.
- With embroidered work: and he cut thin plates of gold, and drew them small into threads, that they might be twisted with the woof of the aforesaid colours,
- And two borders coupled one to the other in the top on either side,
- And a girdle of the same colours, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
- He prepared also two onyx stones, fast set and closed in gold, and graven by the art of a lapidary, with the names of the children of Israel:
- And he set them in the sides of the ephod for a memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
- He made also a rational with embroidered work, according to the work of the ephod, of gold, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen,
- Foursquare, double, of the measure of a span.
- And he set four rows of precious stones in it. In the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and emerald.
- In the second, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a jasper.
- In the third, a ligurius, an agate, and an amethyst.
- In the fourth, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl, set and enclosed in gold by their rows.
- And the twelve stones were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, each one with its several name.
- They made also in the rational little chains linked one to another of the purest gold,
- And two hooks, and as many rings of gold. And they set the rings on either side of the rational,
- On which rings the two golden chains should hang, which they put into the hooks that stood out in the corners of the ephod.
- These both before and behind so answered one another, that the ephod and the rational were bound together,
- Being fastened to the girdle and strongly coupled with rings, which a violet fillet joined, lest they should flag loose, and be moved one from the other, as the Lord commanded Moses.
- They made also the tunick of the ephod all of violet,
