The next item we focus on is the robe of the ephod. The most important feature about this item is that nothing is said as to the nature of the material used. The emphasis is not on the texture, but on the color, which is "blue". The most obvious importance of this color is, of course, its relation to authority and royalty; but this is not our primary interest. Strong's defines this "blue" as having the "varying colors of violet in its makeup. Violet is a group of colors of reddish-blue hue, having low lightness and medium saturation. Low lighness means having a lack of weightiness or force, while medium saturation means that, among other things, "a magnetization to the point beyond which a further increase in the intensity of the magnetizing force will produce no further magnetization." There is also a degree of "chromic purity" which takes into account the Chromic Scale of colors and the vast science of the mixing the various wavelengths of colored light to achieve the kind of laser purity that exists today. Here, again, as in the rest of this story thus far, is brought to view a study of a major discipline involving manifestations of nature. Also implied in the definition of the robe as defined by Strong's is "a roaring through some obscure idea, perhaps that peeling off by concussion of sound; a scale or shell." A shell is defined in the dictionary as "any of the spaces occupied by the orbits of a group of electrons of approximately equal energy surrounding the nucleus of an atom". The scale refers both to the ascending and descending order of light, sound and color and a measurement of each. Out of the simple color blue, we have found the means by which the space between atoms is peeled away to provide more direct access to other points in space by the use of the very "sound" that brought the walls of Jericho, crashing down". There is further significance in the fact that bells and pomegranates were at the bottom of the robe. Sound was directly involved with the goings in and goings out of the High Priest in the Sanctuary. They were for a warning "lest he die."

The next item of interest is the mitre of the High Priest. Strong's defines this as an "encirclement of the head" in the sense of "piercing through, across, or around with respect to various applications of place, cause, or time." Obviously, this is more than just a turban. It is the very Helmet of Salvation.

The last item of interest is by no means the least. Because of its incredibly complex nature, it has been kept for last. This item is, of course, the ephod which was a complete unit containing the "curious girdle," the Urim and Thummin, and the breastplate containing the stones representing the tribes of Israel. The "curious girdle" is defined, as I mentioned before, as a "contrivance, machine, or device". There is osme indication that it involves thought, purpose, and imagination towards "plaiting" or interpenetrating. This means penetrating between layers or folds of an interstice which is the "space that intervenes between things." Thus we see a connecting link between the garments of the High Priest that deal directly with penetrating space and time and use the means of light, sound, and intellect to achieve this process.

The Urim and Thummin, which was used to discern the will of God, also has many qualities. The Urim describes the oracular brilliancy of the lights or objects in the High Priest's brealtplate and also its "illuminating" qualities--intellectually, spitually, as well as physical. A reference is also make to the East which has significance regarding time--especially antiquity. The Thummin is described as emblematic of complete truth and perfections regarding being made perfect, upright and cleansed. The physical aspect of the Urim and Thummin implies a positive and negative which involves electromagnetic principles.
