he put: Exodus 28:4, Exodus 29:5, Exodus 39:1-7; Isaiah 61:3, Isaiah 61:10; Romans 3:22, Romans 13:14; Galatians 3:27

the ephod: The ephod: seems to have been a garment worn by persons of distinction of various characters (2 Samuel 6:4); the description of which in the book of Exodus (Exodus 28:6, etc.) relates only to its materials. As to its shape, the LXX calls it επωμις:, which signifies that it was worn on the shoulders. So also Josephus, who says it was a cubit long. St. Jerome compares it with the Roman caracalla:, which was a sort of short cloak, only that it had a head or hood, which the ephod had not.
