Sinai & The Law

Therefore they shall take golde, and blew silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine linnen,

And they shall make the Ephod of gold, blewe silke, and purple, skarlet, and fine twined linen of broydred worke.

The two shoulders thereof shalbe ioyned together by their two edges: so shall it be closed.

And the embroydred garde of the same Ephod, which shalbe vpon him, shall be of the selfe same worke and stuffe, euen of golde, blewe silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine twined linen.

And thou shalt take two onix stones, and graue vpon them the names of the children of Israel:

Sixe names of them vpon the one stone, and the sixe names that remaine, vpon the seconde stone, according to their generations.

Thou shalt cause to graue the two stones according to the names of the children of Israel by a grauer of signets, that worketh and graueth in stone, and shalt make them to be set and embossed in golde.

And thou shalt put the two stones vpon the shoulders of the Ephod, as stones of remebrance of the children of Israel: for Aaron shall beare their names before the Lord vpon his two shoulders for a remembrance.

So thou shalt make bosses of golde,

And two cheynes of fine golde at the ende, of wrethed worke shalt thou make them, and shalt fasten the wrethed cheynes vpon the bosses.

Also thou shalt make the brest plate of iudgement with broydred worke: like the worke of the Ephod shalt thou make it: of gold, blewe silke, and purple, and skarlet, and fine twined linen shalt thou make it.

Foure square it shall be and double, an hand bredth long and an hand bredth broade.

Then thou shalt set it full of places for stones, euen foure rowes of stones: the order shalbe this, a rubie, a topaze, and a carbuncle in the first rowe.

And in the seconde rowe thou shalt set an emeraude, a saphir, and a diamonde.

And in the third rowe a turkeis, an achate, and an hematite.

And in the fourth rowe a chrysolite, an onix, and a iasper: and they shall be set in golde in their embossements.

And the stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelue, according to their names, grauen as signets, euerye one after his name, and they shall bee for the twelue tribes.

Then thou shalt make vpon the breast plate two cheines at the endes of wrethen worke of pure golde.

Thou shalt make also vpon the brest plate two rings of golde, and put the two rings on the two endes of the brest plate.

And thou shalt put the two wrethen chaynes of golde in the two rings in the endes of the brest plate.

And the other two endes of the two wrethen cheines, thou shalt fasten in ye two embossements, and shalt put them vpon the shoulders of the Ephod on the foreside of it.

Also thou shalt make two rings of gold, which thou shalt put in the two other endes of the brest plate, vpon the border thereof, towarde the inside of the Ephod.

And two other rings of golde thou shalt make, and put them on the two sides of the Ephod, beneath in the forepart of it ouer against the coupling of it vpon the broydred garde of the Ephod.

Thus they shall binde the brest plate by his rings vnto the rings of the Ephod, with a lace of blewe silke, that it may be fast vpon the broydred garde of the Ephod, and that the brest plate be not loosed from the Ephod.

So Aaron shall beare the names of the children of Israel in the brest plate of iudgement vpon his heart, when he goeth into the holy place, for a remembrance continually before the Lord.
