Take the gold and blue thread and wool that is dyed bright read and the fine linen and prepare the ephod with fine linen yarn. Embroider gold, violet, purple, and bright red yarn into the fabric. It should have two shoulder straps attached at the top corners so it can be fastened. Make the belt that is attached to the ephod from the same fabric. Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on two onyx stones. Engrave them in order of their birth. Place six names on each stone. Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the same way a jeweler engraves a signet ring. Mount them in gold settings.

From the violet, purple, and bright red yarn they made special clothes worn for official duties in the holy place. They also made the holy clothes for Aaron. They obeyed Jehovah's instructions to Moses. The ephod was made out of fine linen yarn and gold, violet, purple, and bright red yarn. 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. read more.
From this they made two shoulder straps for the ephod and attached them to its sides, so that it could be fastened. 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. They prepared the carnelians and mounted them in gold settings. They were skillfully engraved with the names of the twelve sons of Jacob. 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. The breast piece was made of the same materials as the ephod and with similar embroidery. It was square and folded double, nine inches long and nine inches wide. They mounted four rows of precious stones on it. Ruby was mounted on the first row along with topaz, and garnet. Included in the second row was an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond. The third row contained a turquoise, an agate, and an amethyst. The fourth row contained a beryl, a carnelian, and jasper. These were mounted in gold settings. Each of the twelve stones had engraved on it the name of one of the sons of Jacob, in order to represent the twelve tribes of Israel. They made chains out of pure gold, twisted like ropes. These were for the breastplate. Two gold settings and two gold rings were prepared and attached, the two rings to the top two corners of the breast piece.

The breastplate hung in front of it. They made two gold rings and fastened them to the other two corners of the breast piece on the inside edge next to the ephod. They made two more gold rings and fastened them to the bottom of the shoulder straps on the front of the ephod. This was close to the seam just above the belt of the ephod. Finally they fastened the breast piece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a violet cord. So the breast piece was attached just above the belt of the ephod and was held in place. They followed Jehovah's instructions to Moses. They made the robe that is worn with the ephod. It was woven entirely of violet yarn. The opening in the center of the robe had a finished edge, somewhat like a leather collar, all around it to keep it from tearing. On the hem of the robe they made pomegranates of violet, purple, and bright red yarn, and fine yarn. Bells were made out of pure gold. They were fastened in between the pomegranates all around the hem of the robe. A gold bell alternated with a pomegranate all around the hem of the robe that is worn by Aaron when he served as priest. They followed Jehovah's instructions to Moses. They wove inner robes out of fine linen for Aaron and his sons. They also made the chief priest's turban and the other beautiful turbans out of fine linen. They made the undergarments and belt out of fine linen yarn. The belt was embroidered with violet, purple, and bright red yarn. They followed Jehovah's instructions to Moses.

The priest must put on his linen clothes. This includes linen undergarments. Then he will remove the ashes left on the altar from the fire that consumed the burnt offering and will put them next to the altar. He will take off these clothes and put on some others. He will take the ashes to a clean place outside the camp.
They must wear linen clothes when they enter the gateways to the inner courtyard. They must have no wool on them while they serve in the gateways to the inner courtyard and in the Temple. They must wear linen turbans on their heads and linen undergarments. They must not wear anything that makes them sweat. When they go out among the people in the outer courtyard, they must take off the clothes that they wore as they served. They must leave their clothes in the side rooms of the holy place and put on other clothes so that they do not transfer the holiness from their clothes to the people.
