“They are to make the ephod of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen, the work of an artistic designer.

Then he ¹  is to take two birds, a piece of cedar wood, a scrap of crimson fabric, and some twigs of hyssop ²  to decontaminate ³  the house,

And the priest must take cedar wood, hyssop, ¹  and scarlet wool and throw them into the midst of the fire where the heifer is burning. ² 

But I ¹  am a worm, ²  not a man; ³  people insult me and despise me. ⁴ 

So God sent ¹  a worm at dawn the next day, and it attacked the little plant so that it dried up.

The artisans ¹  are to use ²  the gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine linen.

Every woman who was skilled ¹  spun with her hands and brought what she had spun, blue, purple, or scarlet yarn, or fine linen,

They hammered the gold into thin sheets and cut it into narrow strips to weave ¹  them into the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and into the fine linen, the work of an artistic designer.

then the priest will command that two live clean birds, a piece of cedar wood, a scrap of crimson fabric, ¹  and some twigs of hyssop ²  be taken up ³  for the one being cleansed. ⁴ 

They must spread over them a scarlet cloth, and cover the same with a covering of fine leather; and they must insert its poles.

Don’t be afraid, despised insignificant Jacob, ¹  men of ²  Israel. I am helping you,” says the Lord, your protector, ³  the Holy One of Israel. ⁴
