19 You shall make one cherub at one end here, and the other cherub at the other end there: from the Propitiatory you shall make the cherubim at its two extremities.
20 And the cherubim shall expand their two wings upwards, covering the Propitiatory with their wings, and they shall look at each other: the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the propitiatory.
21 And you shall place the Propitiatory over the Ark from above, and in the Ark you shall place the Testimony which I will give to you.
22 And I will meet with you there, and I will speak with you from the Propitiatory between the two cherubim, which is over the Ark of the Testimony, concerning all things which I shall command you to be told to the sons of Israel.

Exod. ch. 28, verse 1.
BUT you shall summon to yourself Aaron your brother, and his sons with him from the midst of the sons of Israel, so that Aaron may perform the priesthood for me, Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron.
2 And you shall make sacred garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and beauty.
3 You shall therefore speak to all the wise of heart, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make the garments of Aaron, to sanctify him, so that he may perform the priesthood for me.
4 These are the garments which they shall make: the Breastplate, and the Ephod, and the robe, and the checkered tunic, the mitre and the belt: they shall make, I say, these sacred garments for Aaron your brother, and for his sons, so that they may perform the priesthood for me.

6 They shall make the Ephod of gold, hyacinth, and purple, scarlet worm, and twisted fine linen, with embroidery work.

8 And the belt of this Ephod which shall be upon it, shall be similar to its texture, it shall be from the same, namely of gold, hyacinth, and purple, and scarlet worm, and twisted fine linen.
9 You shall also take two onyx stones, and you shall engrave upon them the names of the sons of Israel.
10 Six of their names on one stone, and the remaining six names on the other stone, according to their generations.
11 With the work of a lapidary and ring engravings you shall engrave those two stones with the names of the sons of Israel: you shall make them surrounded by golden settings.
12 And you shall place those two stones on the sides of the Ephod, stones of memory for the sons of Israel: and Aaron shall bear their names before Iehouah original: "Iehouah" (Jehovah) on his two shoulders for a memorial.
13 You shall also make golden settings.
14 And two chains of pure gold terminated, you shall make with braided work, and you shall insert the braided chains into those settings.
15 Then you shall make the breastplate of judgment, with embroidery work: you shall make it like the work of the Ephod, of gold, and hyacinth, and purple, and scarlet worm, and twisted fine linen.
16 It shall be square and doubled: a palm shall be its length, and a palm its width.
17 And you shall fill it with a filling of stones, four rows of stones: the row of trittalis perhaps sardius/carnelian, Sardius, Topaz, and Carbuncle, the first row.
18 But the second row, Emerald, Sapphire, and Jasper.
19 Furthermore the third row, Ligure original: "Lyncurius", Agate, and Amethyst.
20 Finally the fourth row, Chrysolite, Onyx, and Beryl, they shall be bound in gold in their settings.
