* the ephod.
The {ephod} seems to have been a garment worn by persons of
distinction of various characters (2; Sa 6:4); the description
of which in the book of Exodus (ch. 28:6, etc.) relates only
to its materials. As to its shape, the LXX. calls it
[ep▌is,] which signifies that it was worn on the shoulders.
So also Josephus, who says it was a cubit long. St. Jerome
compares it with the Roman {caracalla,} which was a sort of
short cloak, only that it had a head or hood, which the ephod
had not.
