Exodus 28:9-21

9And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and engrave on them the names of the children of Israel:

10six of their names on the one stone, and the six names of the rest on the other stone, according to their birth.

11According to the work of an engraver in stone, as the engravings of a seal, shalt thou engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel; surrounded by enclosures of gold shalt thou make them.

12And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulder-pieces of the ephod [as] stones of memorial for the children of Israel; and Aaron shall bear their names before Jehovah upon his two shoulders for a memorial.

13And thou shalt make enclosures of gold;

14and two chains of pure gold; of laced work shalt thou make them, of wreathen work, and fasten the wreathen chains to the enclosures.

15And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment of artistic work, like the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and twined byssus shalt thou make it.

16Square shall it be, doubled; a span the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof.

17And thou shalt set in it settings of stones — four rows of stones: [one] row, a sardoin, a topaz, and an emerald — the first row;

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

19and the third row, an opal, an agate, and an amethyst;

20and the fourth row, a chrysolite, and an onyx, and a jasper; enclosed in gold shall they be in their settings.

21And the stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, engraved as a seal: every one according to his name shall they be for the twelve tribes.
