    1AND of the blue, and purple, and scarlet, they made cloths of service, to do service in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron; as the Lord commanded Moses.

    2And he made the ephod of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

    3And they did beat the gold into thin plates, and cut it into wires, to work it in the blue, and in the purple, and in the scarlet, and in the fine linen, with cunning work.

    4They made shoulderpieces for it, to couple it together: by the two edges was it coupled together.

    5And the curious girdle of his ephod, that was upon it, was of the same, according to the work thereof; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen; as the Lord commanded Moses.

    6¶ And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in ouches of gold, graven, as signets are graven, with the names of the children of Israel.

    7And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, that they should be stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the Lord commanded Moses.

    8¶ And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

    20And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.

    21And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the Lord commanded Moses.

    22¶ And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all of blue.

    23And there was an hole in the midst of the robe, as the hole of an habergeon, with a band round about the hole, that it should not rend.

    24And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.

    25And they made bells of pure gold, and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;

    26A bell and a pomegranate, a bell and a pomegranate, round about the hem of the robe to minister in; as the Lord commanded Moses.

    27¶ And they made coats of fine linen of woven work for Aaron, and for his sons,

    28And a mitre of fine linen, and goodly bonnets of fine linen, and linen breeches of fine twined linen,
