Exodus 28:15-28
15“1You shall make a 2breastpiece of judgment, the work of a skillful workman; like the work of the ephod you shall make it: of gold, of 3blue and purple and scarlet material and fine twisted linen you shall make it.
16It shall be square and folded double, a span 4in length and a span 5in width.
17You shall 6mount on it four rows of stones; the first row shall be a row of ruby, topaz and emerald;
18and the second row a turquoise, a sapphire and a diamond;
19and the third row a jacinth, an agate and an amethyst;
20and the fourth row a beryl and an onyx and a jasper; they shall be 7set in gold filigree.
21The stones shall be according to the names of the sons of Israel: twelve, according to their names; they shall be like the engravings of a seal, each 8according to his name for the twelve tribes.
22You shall make on the 9breastpiece chains of twisted cordage work in pure gold.
23You shall make on the breastpiece two rings of gold, and shall put the two rings on the two ends of the breastpiece.
24You shall put the two cords of gold on the two rings at the ends of the breastpiece.
25You shall put the other two ends of the two cords on the two filigree settings, and put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, at the front of it.
26You shall make two rings of gold and shall place them on the two ends of the breastpiece, on the edge of it, which is toward the inner side of the ephod.
27You shall make two rings of gold and put them on the bottom of the two shoulder pieces of the ephod, on the front of it close to the place where it is joined, above the skillfully woven band of the ephod.
28They shall bind the breastpiece by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a 10blue cord, so that it will be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and that the breastpiece will not come loose from the ephod.
