My people ask counsel from their wooden idols, And their staff informs them.

Therefore your daughters commit harlotry, And your brides commit adultery.“ I will not punish your daughters when they commit harlotry, Nor your brides when they commit adultery; For the men themselves go apart with harlots, And offer sacrifices with a ritual harlot. Therefore people who do not understand will be trampled.

Exodus 28:6-35
and they shall make the ephod of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, artistically worked.It shall have two shoulder straps joined at its two edges, and so it shall be joined together.And the intricately woven band of the ephod, which is on it, shall be of the same workmanship, made of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen.“ Then you shall take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:six of their names on one stone and six names on the other stone, in order of their birth.With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel. You shall set them in settings of gold.And you shall put the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. So Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord on his two shoulders as a memorial.You shall also make settings of gold,and you shall make two chains of pure gold like braided cords, and fasten the braided chains to the settings.“ You shall make the breastplate of judgment. Artistically woven according to the workmanship of the ephod you shall make it: of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, you shall make it.It shall be doubled into a square: a span shall be its length, and a span shall be its width.And you shall put settings of stones in it, four rows of stones: The first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and an emerald; this shall be the first row;the second row shall be a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They shall be set in gold settings.And the stones shall have the names of the sons of Israel, twelve according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, each one with its own name; they shall be according to the twelve tribes.“ You shall make chains for the breastplate at the end, like braided cords of pure gold.And you shall make two rings of gold for the breastplate, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.Then you shall put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the breastplate;and the other two ends of the two braided chains you shall fasten to the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod in the front.“ You shall make two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it, which is on the inner side of the ephod.And two other rings of gold you shall make, and put them on the two shoulder straps, underneath the ephod toward its front, right at the seam above the intricately woven band of the ephod.They shall bind the breastplate by means of its rings to the rings of the ephod, using a blue cord, so that it is above the intricately woven band of the ephod, and so that the breastplate does not come loose from the ephod.“ So Aaron shall bear the names of the sons of Israel on the breastplate of judgment over his heart, when he goes into the holy place, as a memorial before the Lord continually.And you shall put in the breastplate of judgment the Urim and the Thummim, and they shall be over Aaron’s heart when he goes in before the Lord. So Aaron shall bear the judgment of the children of Israel over his heart before the Lord continually.“ You shall make the robe of the ephod all of blue.There shall be an opening for his head in the middle of it; it shall have a woven binding all around its opening, like the opening in a coat of mail, so that it does not tear.And upon its hem you shall make pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet, all around its hem, and bells of gold between them all around:a golden bell and a pomegranate, a golden bell and a pomegranate, upon the hem of the robe all around.And it shall be upon Aaron when he ministers, and its sound will be heard when he goes into the holy place before the Lord and when he comes out, that he may not die.
