A priestly garment worn over the chest — and sometimes used to seek God's guidance
lightbulbThink of it as the priest's uniform — like a holy jersey with God's name on it
A special vest-like garment worn by the high priest, made of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet yarn (Exodus 28). It held the breastplate with twelve stones representing the tribes of Israel, along with the Urim and Thummim used for divine guidance. David also wore a linen ephod when dancing before the Ark. In some OT passages, ephods were misused as objects of worship (Judges 8:27), showing how even sacred things can become idols.
