The Ephod was an apron-like garment worn in priestly activities at the temple. A special one was worn by the High Priest (and described in detail to Moses in Exodus 28:6-14, 22-28 ). It was made of gold, blue thread and wool dyed reddish purple, coccus scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer and was inlaid with precious stones. There was a front and back, tied together on the shoulders with two onyx stones and on the sides by a 'gridle'. It was worn overa blue sleeveless 'coat of ephod' and a pure linen robe (Exodus 29:5)

Underpriests also wore an ephod, though not as ornate (1 Samuel 22:18)

and Samuel, when serving at the temple as a young boy, wore one of plain linen(1Samuel 2:18)

What is a ephod in The Bible?

lAn ephod is a priestly vestment. The special ephod to be worn by the high priest is described in detail in God's instructions to Moses. (PICTURE, Vol. 1, p. 539) It was apparently an apronlike garment, made of "gold, blue thread and wool dyed reddish purple, coccus scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer." It consisted of front and back parts, these being joined together. A girdle of the same material was "upon" it, perhaps fastened to the ephod, holding it close around the waist. In gold settings on the shoulder pieces were two onyx stones, each engraved with the names of six of the sons of Israel. From the gold settings of these stones hung the breastpiece, by chains of gold having the workmanship of a rope. From the bottom corners of the breastpiece blue string ran through gold rings that were fastened to the lower extremity of the shoulder pieces of the ephod just above the girdle. The ephod apparently reached a little below the waist, perhaps not down to the knees.-Ex 28:6-14, 22-28. The ephod was worn by the high priest over the blue sleeveless coat, called the "coat of the ephod," which, in turn, was atop the linen robe. (Ex 29:5) This ephod was not worn on all occasions. When it was necessary to inquire of Jehovah about a matter of importance to the nation, the high priest wore the ephod and the breastpiece containing the Urim and the Thummim. (Nu 27:21; 1Sa 28:6; Ezr 2:63) On the annual Day of Atonement, after presenting the sin offerings, the high priest would wash and change garments, taking off the pure white garments and apparently putting on his beautiful garments, including the ephod, before offering up the burnt offerings.-Le 16:23-25.
