Parashah Pekudei

 Cohen Gadol handmade at home clothing
Pekudei, describes the manufacture of the vestments of the priests and high priests,which were already described in the portion of Tetzaveh, where G‑d instructs Moshèhow these garments are to be assembled.
The high priest's ephod ,a reversed apron which covered the back , and its precious-stone-studded shoulder straps were made. The High Priest's Choshen Mishpat was assembled. It contained four rows of precious stones, each row containing three stones. Artisans engraved the names of the Twelve Tribes of Israel upon these twelve stones. 

The Choshen Misphat was then secured by straps which connected it to the ephod. 
The rest of the priestly garments were completed: The high priest's me'il (blue robe adorned with golden bells and cloth "pomegranates") and tzitz (a golden band worn on the forehead, which was engraved with the words "Holy to G‑d"); and the four garments worn by both the high priest and the regular priests: tunics, turbans, sashes and pants.
