Exodus 28:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 28:7

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.

11 With the work of an ^aengraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel. You shall set them in settings of gold.

12 And you shall put the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. So ^aAaron shall bear their names before the Lord on his two shoulders ^bas a memorial.
