Exodus 39:3-5

Expanded Bible

³ They hammered the gold into sheets and then cut it into long, thin strips. They worked the gold into the blue, purple, and ·red [scarlet] thread, and fine linen. This was done ·by skilled craftsmen [or with a skilled design]. ⁴ They made the shoulder straps for the ·holy vest [ephod], which were attached to the top corners of it and tied together over each shoulder. ⁵ The skillfully ·woven belt [embroidered waistband] was made in the same way; it was joined to ·the holy vest [^Lit] as one piece. It was made of gold, and blue, purple, and ·red [scarlet] thread, and fine linen, the way the Lord commanded Moses.
