The Ephod

2Bezalel made the ephod of finely spun linen embroidered with gold, and with blue, purple, and scarlet yarn.3They hammered out thin sheets of gold and cut threads from them to interweave with the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen—the work of a skilled craftsman.4They made shoulder pieces for the ephod, which were attached at two of its corners, so it could be fastened.
