An ephod was a short upper garment, made without sleeves, which was girt about the body. And it was twofold; the one made of fine linen, which was common not only to all the priests, as 1 Samuel 2:18, 1 Samuel 22:18; but to some others also upon solemn and sacred occasions, as 2 Samuel 6:14: the other made of divers stuffs and colours, peculiar to the high priest; the parts whereof were not sewed, but tied together. A robe; an upper garment like a surplice. A broidered coat; an under coat curiously wrought with circular works like eyes, as the word notes, and richly adorned with gems and other things. A mitre; a kind of bonnet or cap for the covering of the head, supposed to be something like a Turkish turban for the form of it. A girdle, to enclose and fasten all the other garments, which were loose in themselves, that he might be more expeditious in his work.
