Exodus 39:6-14
6They set the onyx stones in gold filigree settings, engraved as with the engravings of a seal with the names of the sons of Israel.
7He put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as stones of memorial for the Israelites, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
8He made the breastpiece, the work of an artistic designer, in the same fashion as the ephod, of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet, and fine twisted linen.
9It was square – they made the breastpiece doubled, nine inches long and nine inches wide when doubled.
10They set on it four rows of stones: a row with a ruby, a topaz, and a beryl – the first row;
11and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;
12and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
13and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in gold filigree settings.
14The stones were for the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, corresponding to the number of their names. Each name corresponding to one of the twelve tribes was like the engravings of a seal.
