Exodus 39:6-14

6And they set onyx stones, enclosed in settings of gold; they were engraved, as signets are engraved, with the names of the sons of Israel.

7He put them on the shoulders of the ephod as memorial stones for the sons of Israel, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

8And he made the breastplate, artistically woven like the workmanship of the ephod, of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet thread, and of fine woven linen.

9They made the breastplate square by doubling it; a span was its length and a span its width when doubled.

10And they set in it four rows of stones: a row with a sardius, a topaz, and an emerald was the first row;

11the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;

12the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

13the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in settings of gold in their mountings.

14There were twelve stones according to the names of the sons of Israel: according to their names, engraved like a signet, each one with its own name according to the twelve tribes.
