Exodus 39:8-14

8They fashioned the breastpiece—the work of a skilled craftsman. They made it like the ephod: of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen.

9It was square—a span long and a span wide—and folded double.

10Then they mounted four rows of precious stones on it. The first row was carnelian, chrysolite and beryl;

11the second row was turquoise, lapis lazuli and emerald;

12the third row was jacinth, agate and amethyst;

13the fourth row was topaz, onyx and jasper. They were mounted in gold filigree settings.

14There were twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.
