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.
