And they shall make the ephod, - of gold, blue and purple crimson and fine-twined linen, the work of a skilful weaver.

Two joining shoulderpieces, shall there be to it upon the two extremities thereof that it may be joined together,

And the curious band for fastening it, that is upon it, like the work thereof of the same, shall it be, - of gold blue and purple and crimson and fine-twined linen,

And thou shalt take two onyx stones, - and engrave upon them the names of the sons of Israel:

six of their names, on the one stone, - and the names of the six that remain, on the second stone according to their births:

with the work of a stone engraver, like seal-ring engravings, shalt thou engrave the two stones, after the names of the sons of Israel, - to be encircled with settings of gold, shalt thou make them.

And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulderpieces of the ephod, as stones of memorial for the sons of Israel, - so shall Aaron bear their names before Yahweh upon his two shoulders, for a memorial.

And thou shalt make ouches of gold;

and two chains of pure gold, like cord, shalt thou make them, of wreathen work, and thou shalt put the wreathen chains on the ouches.
