Exodus 28:6-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ And they shall make the ephod of gold, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen, embroidered with divers colours.

⁷ It shall have the two edges joined in the top on both sides, that they may be closed together.

⁸ The very workmanship also and all the variety of the work shall be of gold, and violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.

⁹ And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and shalt grave on them the names of the children of Israel:

¹⁰ Six names on one stone, and the other six on the other, according to the order of their birth.

¹¹ With the work of an engraver and the graving of a jeweller, thou shalt engrave them with the names of the children of Israel, set in gold and compassed about:

¹² And thou shalt put them in both sides of the ephod, a memorial for the children of Israel. And Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord upon both shoulders, for a remembrance.

¹³ Thou shalt make also hooks of gold.

¹⁴ And two little chains of the purest gold linked one to another, which thou shalt put into the hooks.
