(Heb.) A species of ornament worn by the Hebrew priests. The ephod worn by the high priest, says Calmet, was richly composed of gold, blue, purple, crimson, and twisted cotton; and upon the part which came over his shoulders were two large precious stones, upon which were engraven the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, six names upon each stone. The ephods worn by the ordinary priests were of fine linen. (See Exod. xxxix.^ [s. 417]
