    2And thou shalt make holy garments for Aaron thy brother for glory and for beauty.

    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.

    9It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.

    10And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.

    11And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.

    12And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.

    13And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.

    14And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.

    15And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold.

    16And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.

    17And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.

    18And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two ouches, and put them on the shoulderpieces of the ephod, before it.

    19And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward.

    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,

    29And a girdle of fine twined linen, and blue, and purple, and scarlet, of needlework; as the Lord commanded Moses.

    30¶ And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and wrote upon it a writing, like to the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO THE LORD.

    31And they tied unto it a lace of blue, to fasten it on high upon the mitre; as the Lord commanded Moses.
