Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ephod: Its Form and Use; Dissertation
An English view to the same effect is given in a recent book3 by Professor Robertson, of Glasgow, speaking of Gideon's ephod, he says Whatever was made, was a thing of magnificence, and implied costly surroundings; but it is not, by all this, proved that ephod means an image. It may have been merely a coat of extraordinary magnificence, so heavy that it could stand alone, as we say; it may have been placed upon an image; but it was an ephod, and an ephod, so far as the usage of the language tells us, was a coat or covering.
The second class of views concerning the ephod would make it in some places an image and in others a garment.4 The citations are given somewhat at length because they are the most authoritative and recent critical opinions.
