They made the robe of the ephod entirely of blue — the work of a weaver. The all-blue robe — exactly as Exodus 28:31 specified — is woven entirely from the covenant color representing heaven. The robe beneath the ephod covers the priest from shoulders to feet in the color of the sky. The priest who wears this robe is clothed in heaven's color beneath the covenant's colors. The layered garments communicate layered theology: the heavenly beneath, the covenant over it.
