The Ephod
(Exodus 28:6–14)

1Of the yalowe sylke, scarlet, & purple, they made Aarons mynistringe vestimentes, to do seruyce in the Sanctuary, as ye LORDE comaunded Moses.

2And he made the ouer body cote, of golde, yalowe sylke, scarlet, purple, & whyte twyned sylke, 3and bett the golde in to thinne plates, and cut it in to wyres, that it might be wrought amonge the yalowe sylke, scarlet, purple and whyte sylke, 4& made it so, that ye ouerbody cote came together by the edges on both the sydes. 5And his gyrdel was after the same craft & worke: eue of golde, yalowe sylke, scarlet, purple and whyte twyned sylke, as the LORDE commaunded Moses.

6And they wrought two Onix stones, set rounde aboute with golde, grauen by the stone grauer with the names of the childre of Israel: 7and fastened them vpo the shulders of the ouerbody cote, that they might be stones of remebraunce vnto the children of Israel, as the LORDE comaunded Moses.

The Breastpiece
(Exodus 28:15–30)

8And they made the brestlappe after the craft & worke of the ouerbody cote: of golde, yalowe sylke, scarlet, purple, & whyte twyned sylke, 9so that it was foure square & dubble, an hande bredth longe and brode, 10and fylled it with foure rowes of stones. The first rowe was: a Sardis, a Topas, and a Smaragde. 11The secode: a Ruby, a Saphyre, and a Dyamonde. 12The thirde: a Ligurios, an Achat, and an Amatist. 13The fourth: a Turcas, an Onix & a Iaspis: closed rounde aboute with golde in all the rowes. 14And the stones stode after the twolue names of the children of Israel, grauen by the stone grauer, euery one with his name, acordinge to the twolue trybes. 15And vpon the brestlappe they made wrythen cheynes of pure golde, 16and two hokes of golde, & two golde rynges, and fastened the two rynges vpon the two edges of the brestlappe: 17and ye two wrythen cheynes put they in the two rynges vpon the corners of the brestlappe. 18But the two endes of ye wrethen cheynes put they to the two hokes, & fastened them vpon the corners of the ouerbody cote, one ouer agaynst another. 19And they made two other rynges of golde, & fastened them to the other two corners of the brestlappe by the edge of it, that it might hange vpon the out syde of the ouerbody cote. 20And they made yet two other golde rynges, which they put beneth vpon the two corners of the ouerbody cote, one ouer agaynst another, where the ouerbody cote ioyneth together, 21that the brestlappe might be festened by his rynges vnto ye rynges of the ouerbody cote with a yalowe lace, that it might lye close vpon ye ouerbody cote, and not be lowsed from ye ouerbody cote, as the LORDE commaunded Moses.

Additional Priestly Garments
(Exodus 28:31–43)

22And he made the tunycle vnto the ouerbody cote, wrought all of yalow sylke, 23& the hole therof aboue in the myddest, & a bonde folde together rounde aboute the hole, that it shulde not rente. 24And beneth vpon ye hemme of it, they made pomgranates of yalow sylke, scarlet, purple, & whyte twyned sylke: 25& they made belles of pure golde, which they put betwixte ye pomgranates rounde aboute vpon the hemme of the tunycle, a bell & a pomgranate, 26a bell & a pomgranate rounde aboute, to do seruyce in, as the LORDE commaunded Moses.

27And they made albes also wrought of whyte sylke for Aaron & his sonnes, 28& ye myter of whyte sylke, and the goodly bonettes of whyte sylke, and breches of twyned whyte lynnen, 29and the girdle of nedle worke euen of whyte twyned sylke, yalow sylke, scarlet, and purple, as the LORDE commaunded Moses.

30They made the fore heade plate also to ye holy crowne, of pure golde, and wrote therin with grauen worke: the holynes of the LORDE, 31and festened a yalowe lace theron, to tye it vnto the myter aboue, as the LORDE comaunded Moses.
