Exodus 39:8-14

8A worker used special skills to make the breastpiece, so that it looked beautiful. He made it like the ephod. He used gold, blue, purple and red material as well as good linen to make it.

9They bent a piece of cloth over to make a square pocket, 22 centimetres long and 22 centimetres wide.

10Then they fixed four rows of jewels on it. These are the names of the jewels: A ruby, a topaz and a beryl in the first row.

11A turquoise, a sapphire and an emerald in the second row.

12A jacinth, an agate and an amethyst in the third row.

13A chrysolite, an onyx and a jasper in the fourth row. They fixed each jewel into beautiful gold around its edges.

14There were 12 jewels, one jewel for each of Israel's sons. They used a sharp tool to write one tribe's name on each jewel.
