Halakhah for Exodus 28:6
וְעָשׂ֖וּ אֶת־הָאֵפֹ֑ד זָ֠הָב תְּכֵ֨לֶת וְאַרְגָּמָ֜ן תּוֹלַ֧עַת שָׁנִ֛י וְשֵׁ֥שׁ מָשְׁזָ֖ר מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה חֹשֵֽׁב׃
And they shall make the ephod of gold, of blue, and purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, the work of the skilful workman.
Contemporary Halakhic Problems, Vol II
Rabbi Diskin further cites a statement of the Mekhilta to the effect that the conversion of an Amalekite has no efficacy and hence even subsequent to "conversion" the lad had the status of a non-Jew; cf., however, Rambam, Hilkhot Isurei Bi'ah 12:7 and Hilkhot Melakhim 6:4; Kesef Mishneh, Hilkhot Melakhim 6:4; and Ba'al ha-Turim, Exodus 28:6. See also R. Judah Gershuni, Mishpat ha-Melukhah (New York, 5710) p. 144. For other interpretations see R. Aryeh Pomeranchik, Emek Berakhah, and R. Eliezer Dvorets, addenda, p. 15.
