1 And from the cerulean purple, and the red purple, and the double scarlet, they made garments of stuff to serve in the holy place; and they will make the garments of the holy place which are for Aaron, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

2 And he will make the ephod, gold, cerulean purple, red purple, and double scarlet, and twisted byssus.

3 And they will beat out the plates of gold, and it was cut off threads to work in the midst of the cerulean purple, and in the midst of the red purple, and in the midst of the double scarlet, and in the midst of the byssus, a skilful work.

4 Shoulders they made to it to join together: upon its two ends it was joined together.

5 And the girdle of his ephod which is upon it, this from out of it according to its work; gold, cerulean purple, and red purple, and double scarlet, and twisted byssus, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

6 And they will make stones of onyx turned in textures of gold, engraved with engravings of a seal, with the names of the sons of Israel.

7 He will put them upon the shoulders of the ephod, stones of remembrance to the sons of Israel, as Jehovah commanded Moses.

8 And he will make the breast-plate a skilful work, as the work of the ephod; gold, cerulean purple, and red purple, and double scarlet, and twisted byssus.

9 It was four-square; they made the breast-plate double: a span its length, and a span its breadth; double.

10 And they will fill in it four rows of stone: a row, a ruby, a topaz and an emerald, the one row.

11 And the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and an onyx.

12 The third row, amber, agate and amethyst.

13 The fourth row, chrysolite, sardonyx, and jasper: surrounded in textures of gold in their fillings in.

14 And the stones according to the names of the sons of Israel; they are twelve according to their names, the engravings of a seal each, according to his name for the twelve tribes.
