the plates of gold and cut them up into threads, to work in among the violet, and in among the purple, and in among the twice-dyed scarlet, and in among the fine linen, with the work of a designer.
4. They made shoulder-pieces for it linked together; on its two ends it was linked together.
5. And the girdle of his ephod, which was on it, was of [one piece with] it, being of the same workmanship 3

20. And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod, below before the face of it, against the join above the girdle of the ephod.
21. And they tied the breastplate from its rings to the rings of the ephod with a cord of violet, so that it was above the girdle of the ephod, in order that the breastplate might not come away from upon the ephod, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
22. And he made the robe of the ephod with the work of a weaver, the whole from violet.
23. And he made the hole 9
of the robe, in the middle of it, its hole 9
having an edge round about, so that it would not tear.
