13In the fourth row they put beryl, onyx, and gray quartz. The stones were mounted in gold settings. 14They corresponded to the 12 sons of Israel, by name, each stone engraved (like a signet ring) with the name of one of the 12 tribes. For the breastplate they made chains out of pure gold, twisted like ropes. 16They made two gold settings and two gold rings and attached the two rings to the ⌞top⌟ two corners of the breastplate. 17They fastened the two gold ropes to the rings at the ⌞top⌟ corners of the breastplate.
