This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
An ephod was a short upper garment, made without sleeves, which was girt about the body. And it was twofold; the one made of fine linen, which was common not only to all the priests, as 1Sa_2:18 22:18; but to some others also upon solemn and sacred occasions, as 2Sa_6:14: the other made of divers stuffs and colours, peculiar to the high priest; the parts whereof were not sewed, but tied together.
A robe; an upper garment like a surplice.
A broidered coat; an under coat curiously wrought with circular works like eyes, as the word notes, and richly adorned with gems and other things.
A mitre; a kind of bonnet or cap for the covering of the head, supposed to be something like a Turkish turban for the form of it. A
girdle, to enclose and fasten all the other garments, which were loose in themselves, that he might be more expeditious in his work.
