Exodus 28:15–30

¹⁵‘And thou hast made a breastplate of judgment, work of a designer; according to the work of the ephod thou dost make it; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined linen thou dost make it; ¹⁶it is square, doubled, a span its length, and a span its breadth.

¹⁷‘And thou hast set in it settings of stone, four rows of stone; a row of sardius, topaz, and carbuncle is the first row; ¹⁸and the second row is emerald, sapphire, and diamond; ¹⁹and the third row is opal, agate, and amethyst; ²⁰and the fourth row is beryl, and onyx, and jasper; embroidered with gold are they in their settings, ²¹and the stones are according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to their names, openings of a signet, each by his name are they for the twelve tribes.

²²‘And thou hast made on the breastplate wreathed chains, work of thick bands, of pure gold; ²³and thou hast made on the breastplate two rings of gold, and hast put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate; ²⁴and thou hast put the two thick bands of gold on the two rings at the ends of the breastplate; ²⁵and the two ends of the two thick bands thou dost put on the two embroidered things, and thou hast put them on the shoulders of the ephod over-against its face.

²⁶‘And thou hast made two rings of gold, and hast set them on the two ends of the breastplate, on its border, which is over-against the ephod within; ²⁷and thou hast made two rings of gold, and hast put them on the two shoulders of the ephod, beneath, over-against its front, over-against its joining, above the girdle of the ephod, ²⁸and they bind the breastplate by its rings unto the rings of the ephod with a ribbon of blue, to be above the girdle of the ephod, and the breastplate is not loosed from the ephod.

²⁹‘And Aaron hath borne the names of the sons of Israel in the breastplate of judgment, on his heart, in his going in unto the sanctuary, for a memorial before Jehovah continually.

³⁰‘And thou hast put unto the breastplate of judgment the Lights and the Perfections, and they have been on the heart of Aaron, in his going in before Jehovah, and Aaron hath borne the judgment of the sons of Israel on his heart before Jehovah continually.
