6 “And they must make the ephʹod of gold, blue thread and wool dyed reddish purple, coccus scarlet material and fine twisted linen, the work of an embroiderer.+

5 As for the man Miʹcah,* he had a house of gods,*+ and he proceeded to make an ephʹod+ and teraphim*+ and to fill the hand of one of his sons with power,*+ that he might serve as priest for him.+

14 Then the five men that had gone to spy out+ the land of Laʹish+ answered and said to their brothers: “Did YOU know that there are in these houses an ephʹod and teraphim+ and a carved image+ and a molten statue?+ And now have in mind what YOU ought to do.”+
