Exodus 28:2-4
New Catholic Bible
2 You shall make sacred vestments for Aaron, your brother, for glory and beauty. 3 Speak to all the most expert artisans, those to whom I have given a spirit of wisdom, and they shall prepare vestments for Aaron, for his consecration, so that he might exercise his priesthood in my honor.
4 “These are the vestments that they shall make: the breastplate and the ephod,[a] a robe, a checkered colored coat, a turban, and a sash. They will make sacred vestments for Aaron your brother and for his sons so that they may exercise their priesthood in my honor.

- 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).
