8:7 The tunic (see Exod 28:39) 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, 6-14). 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). Later, an ephod also referred to a venerated image (Judg 8:27; 18:17). • The decorative sash was embroidered and was made of the same materials as the ephod (see Exod 28:8).
