Bingo. Exodus Chapter 39 is all about clothing.

"1 From the blue, purple and scarlet yarn they made woven garments for ministering in the sanctuary. They also made sacred garments for Aaron, as the LORD commanded Moses. The Ephod 2 They [a] made the ephod of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen. 3 They hammered out thin sheets of gold and cut strands to be worked into the blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen—the work of a skilled craftsman. 4 They made shoulder pieces for the ephod, which were attached to two of its corners, so it could be fastened. 5 Its skillfully woven waistband was like it—of one piece with the ephod and made with gold, and with blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and with finely twisted linen, as the LORD commanded Moses.

6 They mounted the onyx stones in gold filigree settings and engraved them like a seal with the names of the sons of Israel. 7 Then they fastened them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel, as the LORD commanded Moses. The Breastpiece 8 They fashioned the breastpiece—the work of a skilled craftsman. They made it like the ephod: of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen. 9 It was square—a span [b] long and a span wide—and folded double. 10 Then they mounted four rows of precious stones on it. In the first row there was a ruby, a topaz and a beryl; 11 in the second row a turquoise, a sapphire [c] and an emerald; 12 in the third row a jacinth, an agate and an amethyst; 13 in the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx and a jasper. [d] They were mounted in gold filigree settings. 14 There were twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.

15 For the breastpiece they made braided chains of pure gold, like a rope. 16 They made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings, and fastened the rings to two of the corners of the breastpiece. 17 They fastened the two gold chains to the rings at the corners of the breastpiece, 18 and the other ends of the chains to the two settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front. 19 They made two gold rings and attached them to the other two corners of the breastpiece on the inside edge next to the ephod. 20 Then they made two more gold rings and attached them to the bottom of the shoulder pieces on the front of the ephod, close to the seam just above the waistband of the ephod. 21 They tied the rings of the breastpiece to the rings of the ephod with blue cord, connecting it to the waistband so that the breastpiece would not swing out from the ephod—as the LORD commanded Moses."

There's more but, you know, I've already probably overdone it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That's awfully craftsy for the Bible.

I had to google 'ephod.' Whatever happened to them? Maybe they'll come back as a fashion trend....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Totally, Plei.

I hate the 4 & 5 trains. It's an endless procession of panhandlers, candy sellers, bad drummers, bad singers, and assorted other crazies.

That's funny, because my experience with it (from 59th St to Wall) is that it's just jam packed with suits and hardly any crazies.

you cannot be a Christian if you own a television.

Oh. Oh, well then. I'll just bittorrent and watch on my desktop's flat panel monitor.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think it depends on when you take the 4/5 but I know what Tom's saying-- sometimes it's like a carnival in comparison to trains that serve a narrower slice of the city.

I'll let him come over and watch Supernatural with me. He'll like it. It has demons.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Some Japanese pitchers have been throwing a new pitch, called the Gyroball, where the ball spins sideways like a football. The pitch is flatter and straighter than what the batters expect.
