39:1. And he made, of violet and purple, scarlet and fine linen, the
vestments for Aaron to wear when he ministered in the holy places, as
the Lord commanded Moses.
39:2. So he made an ephod of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice
dyed, and fine twisted linen,
39:3. With embroidered work, and he cut thin plates of gold, and drew
them small into threads, that they might be twisted with the woof of the
foresaid colours,
39:4. And two borders coupled one to the other in the top on either
side,
39:5. And a girdle of the same colours, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
39:6. He prepared also two onyx stones, fast set and closed in gold, and
graven, by the art of a lapidary, with the names of the children of
Israel:
39:7. And he set them in the sides of the ephod, for a memorial of the
children of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
39:8. He made also a rational with embroidered work, according to the
work of the ephod, of gold, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and
fine twisted linen:

another, of the purest gold,
39:16. And two hooks, and as many rings of gold. And they set the rings
