Exodus 39:8–21

⁸And he made the breastplate of artistic work, like the work of the ephod, of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus. ⁹It was square; double did they make the breastplate, a span the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, doubled. ¹⁰And they set in it four rows of stones: one row, a sardoin, a topaz, and an emerald—the first row; ¹¹and the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond; ¹²and the third row, an opal, an agate, and an amethyst; ¹³and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper; mounted in enclosures of gold in their settings. ¹⁴And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, engraved as a seal, every one according to his name, for the twelve tribes. ¹⁵And they made on the breastplate chains of laced work of wreathen work, of pure gold. ¹⁶And they made two settings of gold, and two gold rings, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. ¹⁷And they put the two wreathen cords of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate; ¹⁸and the two ends of the two wreathen cords they fastened to the two settings, and put them on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod, on the front thereof. ¹⁹And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the border thereof, which faceth the ephod inwards. ²⁰And they made two rings of gold, and put them upon the two shoulder-pieces of the ephod underneath, to the front thereof, just by the coupling thereof, above the girdle of the ephod. ²¹And they bound the breastplate with its rings to the rings of the ephod with lace of blue, that it might be above the girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
