Exodus 28:9-21

9“Then you shall take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:

10six of their names on one stone and six names on the other stone, in order of their birth.

11With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel. You shall set them in settings of gold.

12And you shall put the two stones on the shoulders of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel. So Aaron shall bear their names before the Lord on his two shoulders as a memorial.

13You shall also make settings of gold,

14and you shall make two chains of pure gold like braided cords, and fasten the braided chains to the settings.

15“You shall make the breastplate of judgment. Artistically woven according to the workmanship of the ephod you shall make it: of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and fine woven linen, you shall make it.

16It shall be doubled into a square: a span shall be its length, and a span shall be its width.

17And you shall put settings of stones in it, four rows of stones: The first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and an emerald; this shall be the first row;

18the second row shall be a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;

19the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

20and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They shall be set in gold settings.

21And the stones shall have the names of the sons of Israel, twelve according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, each one with its own name; they shall be according to the twelve tribes.
