Make the robe of the ephod entirely of blue. The robe that is worn under the ephod is entirely blue — the covenant color, the color of the sky, the color of the heavenly sapphire pavement seen beneath God's feet in Exodus 24:10. The all-blue robe communicates heaven's color worn by the one who serves in the earthly representation of heaven's sanctuary. Revelation 1:13 describes the Son of Man in a long robe — the blue robe of the high priest is the type of the garment of the eternal priest. The single-color robe beneath the multi-colored ephod creates a theological visual: the covenant community's colors (ephod) are worn over the heavenly color (robe).
