  1. Exodus 28:4 The etymology of ephod is uncertain. The word signifies three different things: (a) the ephod worn in divination, that is, in consulting Yahweh (1 Sam 2:28); (b) the “ephod bad” (“linen ephod”), worn by ministers of worship (1 Sam 2:18); and (c) the “ephod of the high priest,” a kind of cloth mounted on a belt with shoulder straps and with the breastplate of decision attached to it (see Ex 28:15ff).
