Exodus 28:6

4 And these are the garments which they shall make: ^aa breastplate, ^ban ephod, ^ca robe, ^da skillfully woven tunic, a turban, and ^ea sash. So they shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother and his sons, that he may minister to Me as priest.

The Ephod

5 “They shall take the gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and the fine linen,

6 ^aand they shall make the ephod of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, artistically worked.

7 It shall have two shoulder straps joined at its two edges, and so it shall be joined together.

8 And the intricately woven band of the ephod, which is on it, shall be of the same workmanship, made of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen.

9 “Then you shall take two onyx ^astones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:

10 six of their names on one stone and six names on the other stone, in order of their ^abirth.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Exodus 28:5

Exodus 28:7 >>

The ephod, was the outmost garment of the high - priest; linen ephods were worn by the inferior priests, but this, which the high - priest wore, was called a golden ephod, because there was a great deal of gold woven into it. It was a short coat without sleeves, buttoned close to him with a curious girdle of the same stuff. The shoulder pieces were buttoned together with two precious stones set in gold, one on each shoulder. In allusion to this, Christ our high priest appeared to John, girt about the paps with a golden girdle, such as was the curious girdle of the ephod, Revelation 1:13. Righteousness is the girdle of his loins. He is girt with strength for the work of our salvation. And as Aaron had the names of all Israel upon his shoulders in precious stones, so He presents to himself and to his Father a glorious church, Ephesians 5:27. He bears them before the Lord for a memorial, in token of his appearing before God as the representative of all Israel, and an advocate for them.
