2 The ephod was woven of gold thread and of violet, purple, and scarlet yarn and of fine linen twined.

3 Gold was first hammered into gold leaf and then cut up into threads, which were woven with the violet, purple, and scarlet yarn into an embroidered pattern on the fine linen.

4 Shoulder straps were made for it and joined to its two upper ends.
