Exodus 39:2-7 - Making The Ephod
2 The ephod was made out of fine linen yarn and gold, violet, purple, and bright red yarn. 3 The gold was hammered into thin sheets and cut up. They twisted the gold into threads, which they creatively worked into each strand of the violet, purple, and bright red yarn, and throughout the fine linen. 4 From this they made two shoulder straps for the ephod and attached them to its sides, so that it could be fastened. 5 The finely woven belt, made of the same materials, was attached to the ephod so as to form one piece with it. This was as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
6 They prepared the carnelians and mounted them in gold settings. They were skillfully engraved with the names of the twelve sons of Jacob. 7 They placed them on the shoulder straps of the ephod to represent the twelve tribes of Israel. Again, this was just as Jehovah commanded Moses.
