he put: Exo 28:4, Exo 29:5, Exo 39:1-7; Isa 61:3, Isa 61:10; Rom 3:22, Rom 13:14; Gal 3:27 the ephod: The ephod seems to have been a garment worn by persons of distinction of various characters ( Sa2 6:4); the description of which in the book of Exodus ( Exo 28:6, etc.) relates only to its materials. As to its shape, the LXX calls it επωμις, which signifies that it was worn on the shoulders. So also Josephus, who says it was a cubit long. St. Jerome compares it with the Roman caracalla, which was a sort of short cloak, only that it had a head or hood, which the ephod had not. Leviticus 8:8
