As however the entire ephod was to be of the same material, and the <em> sheb<\/em> was indeed to be of the same piece with it, it is not apparent why the term should be applied to this particular part of the entire fabric: hence many suppose <em> sheb<\/em> to be derived by metathesis from <em> besh<\/em> (from <em> bash<\/em>, to <em> bind on<\/em>), and to mean simply <strong> band<\/strong> (cf. <em> ksheb<\/em>, and <em> kbesh<\/em>, both = &lsquo;lamb&rsquo;). Whichever etymology be adopted, the general sense remains the same: the band, as the following words shew, was to be of the same work, and the same piece, as the ephod itself, though perhaps of a different pattern, so as to form a border along the bottom of the ephod. The word is used only of this band of the ephod: <em> vv.<\/em> 27, 28, <span class='bible'>Exo 29:5<\/span> (|| <span class='bible'>Lev 8:7<\/span>), <span class='bible'>Exo 39:5<\/span>; <span class='bible'>Exo 39:20-21<\/span> .<\/p>\n<p><strong> of its attachment<\/strong> ] cognate with &lsquo;ephod&rsquo;; the word which in <span class='bible'>Isa 30:22<\/span> is rendered &lsquo;plating&rsquo; (viz. of gold round an idol), probably lit. <em> encasement<\/em>.
