Day 100 and 20
the craftsman made beautiful sacred garments of blue, purple, and scarlet
cloth clothing for Aaron to wear while ministering in the holy place.
Just as the Lord had commanded Moses Beel made the ephod of finely woven
linen and embroidered it with gold and with blue, purple, and scarlet thread.
He made gold thread by hammering out thin sheets of gold and cutting it into
fine strands with great skill and care.
He worked it into the fine linen with the blue, purple, and scarlet thread.
The EOD consisted of two pieces front and back, joined at the
shoulders with two shoulder pieces.
The decorative sash was made of the same materials, finally woven
linen embroidered with gold and with blue, purple, and scarlet thread.
Just as the Lord had commanded Moses, they mounted the two onyx
stones in settings of gold filigree.
The stones were engraved with the names of the tribes of Israel,
just as a seal is engraved.
He fastened these stones on the shoulder pieces of the EOD as a reminder that the
priest represents the people of Israel.
All this was done just as the Lord had commanded Moses Beel made the
chess piece with great skill and care.
He made it to match the ephod using finely woven linen, embroidered with gold and
with blue, purple, and scarlet thread.
He made the chest piece of a single piece of cloth folded to
form a pouch nine inches square.
They mounted four rows of gemstones on it.
The first row contained a red cornelian, a pale green para dot, and an emerald.
The second row contained a turquoise, a blue lapis lazuli, and a white moonstone.
The third row contained an orange jsth and agate, and a purple amethyst.
The fourth row contained a bluegreen barrel, an onyx, and a green jasper.
All these stones were set in gold filigree.
Each stone represented one of the 12 sons of Israel, and the name of that
tribe was engraved on it like a seal.
To attach the chess piece to the ephod, they made braided
cords of pure gold thread.
They also made two settings of gold filigree and two gold
rings, and attached them to the top corners of the chess piece.
They tied the two gold cords to the rings on the chess piece.
They tied the other ends of the cords to the gold settings on
the shoulder pieces of the e o.
Then they made two more gold rings and attached them to the
inside edges of the chess piece.
Next to the e o.
Then they made two more gold rings and attached them to the front of the
e o below the shoulder pieces just above the knot where the decorative
sash was fastened to the ephod.
They attached the bottom rings of the chess piece to the rings
on the EOD with blue cords.
In this way, the chess piece was held securely to the e
o above the decorative sash.
All this was done just as the Lord had commanded Moses Beel made the robe that
is worn with the EOD from a single piece of blue woven cloth with an opening
for Aaron's head in the middle of it.
The opening was reinforced with a woven collar so it would not tear.
They made pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn and
attached them to the hem of the robe.
They also made bells of pure gold and placed them between the
pomegranates along the hymn of the robe with bells and pomegranates
alternating all around the hymn.
This robe was to be worn whenever the priest ministered before the Lord.
Just as the Lord had commanded Moses, they made tunics for Aaron
and his sons from fine linen cloth.
The turban and the special head coverings were made of fine linen.
And the undergarments were also made of finely woven linen.
The sashes were made of finely woven linen and embroidered with blue,
purple, and scarlet thread, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Finally, they made the sacred medallion, the badge of holiness of pure gold.
They engraved it like a seal with these words, holy to the Lord.
They attached the medallion with a blue cord to Aaron's turban, just
as the Lord had commanded Moses.
