Liber Exodus, 39
1. de hyacintho vero et purpura vermiculo ac bysso fecit vestes quibus indueretur Aaron quando ministrabat in sanctis sicut præcepit Dominus Mosi
1. And he made, of violet and purple, scarlet and fine linen, the vestments for Aaron to wear when he ministered in the holy places, as the Lord commanded Moses.
2. fecit igitur superumerale de auro hyacintho et purpura coccoque bis tincto et bysso retorta
2. So he made an ephod of gold, violet, and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen.
3. opere polymitario inciditque bratteas aureas et extenuavit in fila ut possint torqueri cum priorum colorum subtemine
3. With embroidered work: and he cut thin plates of gold, and drew them small into threads, that they might be twisted with the woof of the aforesaid colours,
4. duasque oras sibi invicem copulatas in utroque latere summitatum
4. And two borders coupled one to the other in the top on either side,
5. et balteum ex hisdem coloribus sicut præceperat Dominus Mosi
5. And a girdle of the same colours, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
6. paravit et duos lapides onychinos adstrictos et inclusos auro et sculptos arte gemmaria nominibus filiorum Israël
6. He prepared also two onyx stones, fast set and closed in gold, and graven by the art of a lapidary, with the names of the children of Israel:
7. posuitque eos in lateribus superumeralis in monumentum filiorum Israël sicut præceperat Dominus Mosi
7. And he set them in the sides of the ephod for a memorial of the children of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
8. fecit et rationale opere polymito juxta opus superumeralis ex auro hyacintho purpura coccoque bis tincto et bysso retorta
8. He made also a rational with embroidered work, according to the work of the ephod, of gold, violet, purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine twisted linen,
9. quadrangulum duplex mensuræ palmi
9. Foursquare, double, of the measure of a span.
10. et posuit in eo gemmarum ordines quattuor in primo versu erat sardius topazius zmaragdus
10. And he set four rows of precious stones in it. In the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and emerald.
11. in secundo carbunculus sapphyrus jaspis
11. In the second, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a jasper.
12. in tertio ligyrius achates amethistus
12. In the third, a ligurius, an agate, and an amethyst.
13. in quarto chrysolitus onychinus berillus circumdati et inclusi auro per ordines suos
13. In the fourth, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl, set and enclosed in gold by their rows.
14. ipsique lapides duodecim sculpti erant nominibus duodecim tribuum Israël singuli per nomina singulorum
14. And the twelve stones were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, each one with its several name.
15. fecerunt in rationali et catenulas sibi invicem coherentes de auro purissimo
15. They made also in the rational little chains linked one to another of the purest gold,
16. et duos uncinos totidemque anulos aureos porro anulos posuerunt in utroque latere rationalis
16. And two hooks, and as many rings of gold. And they set the rings on either side of the rational,
17. e quibus penderent duæ catenæ aureæ quas inseruerunt uncinis qui in superumeralis angulis eminebant
17. On which rings the two golden chains should hang, which they put into the hooks that stood out in the corners of the ephod.
18. hæc et ante et retro ita conveniebant sibi ut superumerale et rationale mutuo necterentur
18. These both before and behind so answered one another, that the ephod and the rational were bound together,
19. stricta ad balteum et anulis fortius copulata quos jungebat vitta hyacinthina ne laxe fluerent et a se invicem moverentur sicut præcepit Dominus Mosi
19. Being fastened to the girdle and strongly coupled with rings, which a violet fillet joined, lest they should flag loose, and be moved one from the other, as the Lord commanded Moses.
20. fecerunt quoque tunicam superumeralis totam hyacinthinam
20. They made also the tunick of the ephod all of violet,
21. et capitium in superiori parte contra medium oramque per gyrum capitii textilem

22. deorsum autem ad pedes mala punica ex hyacintho purpura vermiculo ac bysso retorta
22. And beneath at the feet pomegranates of violet, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen:
23. et tintinabula de auro mundissimo quæ posuerunt inter mala granata in extrema parte tunicæ per gyrum
23. And little bells of the purest gold, which they put between the pomegranates at the bottom of the tunick round about:
24. tintinabulum aureum et malum punicum quibus ornatus incedebat pontifex quando ministerio fungebatur sicut præcepit Dominus Mosi
24. To wit, a bell of gold, and a pomegranate, wherewith the high priest went adorned, when he discharged his ministry, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
