"Have Aaron your brother brought to you am- among the Israelites, along with his sons Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, so that they may serve me as priests.
Tell all the skilled workers to whom I have given wisdom in such matters that they are to make garments for Aaron for his consecration, so that he may serve me as priest.
These are the garments they are to make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a woven tunic, a turban, and a sash.
They are to make these sacred garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so that they may serve me as priests.
Have them use gold and blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and fine linen." So we're gonna make some things for Aaron to wear that he can have dignity, so he's gonna look like a high priest.
One of the things I didn't say last time when we were talking about the tabernacle, blue, purple, and scarlet, these would be more expensive dyes, especially purple.
The Phoenicians actually get their name from a purple dye that comes from sea sh- snails, and this is so expensive that it's really reserved as a royal color, or in this case, a priestly color.
"Make the ephod of gold and of blue, purple, and silver yarn, and of finely twisted linen, the work of skilled hands.
It is to have two shoulder pieces attached to two of its corners, so it can be fastened.
Its skillfully woven waistband is to be like it, of one piece with the ephod and made of gold and with purple, blue, and scarlet yarn, and with finely twisted linen.
Take two onyx stones and engrave on them the name of the sons of Israel in the order of their birth, six names on one stone and the remaining six on the other.
Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the way a gem cutter engraves a seal.
Then mount the stones in gold filigree settings and fasten them onto the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel.
Make gold filigree settings and two braided chains of pure gold, like a rope, and attach the chains to the settings." So Aaron is to wear this garment here, an ephod.
It is really just a robe that is a special robe here, but it has these two stones on, one on either shoulder with each with the names of six tribes of Israel, or six of the sons.
That is a seal that you would use with sealing wax, not the pinniped that we're talking about there.
