‏ Leviticus 8:7

8:7  a The tunic (see Exod 28:39  b) was woven of patterned linen cloth.

• The same type of material used for the Tabernacle curtains was used for the embroidered ephod (see Exod 28:4  c, 6-14  d). This garment’s precise shape and size are unclear, but it seems to have been a long, sleeveless vest, fitted close to the body and tied about the waist. It was joined at the shoulders by gold settings; each setting bore an onyx stone engraved with the names of six of the tribes of Israel (Exod 28:9  e). Later, an ephod also referred to a venerated image (Judg 8:27  f; 18:17  g).

• The decorative sash was embroidered and was made of the same materials as the ephod (see Exod 28:8  h).
