The main part of the ephod was woven, all of blue, and there was a hole at the center just as in a coat of mail, for the head to go through, reinforced around the edge so that it would not tear. Pomegranates were attached to the bottom edge of the robe; these were made of linen cloth, embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet. Bells of pure gold were placed between the pomegranates alternating all around the edge. This robe was worn when Aaron ministered to the Lord, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Robes were now made for Aaron and his sons from fine-twined linen thread. The chestpiece, the beautiful turbans, and the caps and the underclothes were all made of this linen, and the linen belt was beautifully embroidered with blue, purple, and scarlet threads, just as Jehovah had commanded Moses. Finally they made the holy plate of pure gold to wear on the front of the turban, engraved with the words, "Consecrated to Jehovah." It was tied to the turban with a blue cord, just as the Lord had instructed.
