Ephod
ephod (?), n. (Heb.ephod, fr. aphad to put on.) (Jew.
Antiq.) A part of the sacerdotal habit among Jews, being a
covering for the back and breast, held together on the shoulders by
two clasps or brooches of onyx stones set in gold, and fastened by a
girdle of the same stuff as the ephod. The ephod for the priests was
of plain linen; that for the high priest was richly embroidered in
colors. The breastplate of the high priest was worn upon the ephod in
front. Exodus xxviii. 6-12.
