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).
