Exodus 39:7 In-Context
5 The decorated band was made of the same material - gold, blue, purple, and scarlet material, and of fine twisted linen - and of one piece with it, just as God had commanded Moses.
6 They mounted the onyx stones in a setting of filigreed gold and engraved the names of the sons of Israel on them,
7 then fastened them on the shoulder pieces of the Ephod as memorial stones for the Israelites, just as God had commanded Moses.
8 Breastpiece. They made a Breastpiece designed like the Ephod from gold, blue, purple, and scarlet material and fine twisted linen.
9 Doubled, the Breastpiece was nine inches square.
