Exodus 39:6-14

6They mounted the two onyx stones in settings of gold filigree. The stones were engraved with the names of the tribes of Israel, just as a seal is engraved.

7He fastened these stones on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod as a reminder that the priest represents the people of Israel. All this was done just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

8Bezalel made the chestpiece with great skill and care. He made it to match the ephod, using finely woven linen embroidered with gold and with blue, purple, and scarlet thread.

9He made the chestpiece of a single piece of cloth folded to form a pouch nine inches square.

10They mounted four rows of gemstones on it. The first row contained a red carnelian, a pale-green peridot, and an emerald.

11The second row contained a turquoise, a blue lapis lazuli, and a white moonstone.

12The third row contained an orange jacinth, an agate, and a purple amethyst.

13The fourth row contained a blue-green beryl, an onyx, and a green jasper. All these stones were set in gold filigree.

14Each stone represented one of the twelve sons of Israel, and the name of that tribe was engraved on it like a seal.
