Exodus 28:12–21

12 “You shall put the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, as stones of memorial for the sons of Israel, and Aaron shall abear their names before the Lord on his two shoulders bfor a memorial.

13 “aYou shall make filigree settings of gold,

14 and two chains of pure gold; you shall make them of twisted cordage work, and you shall put the corded chains on the filigree settings.

15 “aYou shall make a 1breastpiece of judgment, the work of a skillful workman; like the work of the ephod you shall make it: of gold, of 2blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen you shall make it.

16 “It shall be square and folded double, a span 1in length and a span 1in width.

17 “You shall 1mount on it four rows of stones; the first row shall be a row of ruby, topaz and emerald;

18 and the second row a turquoise, a sapphire and a diamond;

19 and the third row a jacinth, an agate and an amethyst;

20 and the fourth row a beryl and an onyx and a jasper; they shall be 1set in gold filigree.

21 “The stones shall be according to the names of the sons of Israel: twelve, according to their names; they shall be like the engravings of a seal, each aaccording to his name for the twelve tribes.
