Exodus 28:15-28

15“Make a breastplate of judgment, the work of a skillful craftsman. You are to make it like the design of the ephod—of gold, blue, purple, scarlet and finely twisted linen.

16It is to be square and doubled over, a span in length and a span in width.

17Set within it four rows of jewels: a row of ruby, topaz and emerald for the first row;

18a turquoise, a sapphire and a diamond for the second row;

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

20and a beryl, an onyx and a jasper for the fourth row. They are to be enclosed in gold filigree settings.

21The stones are to be engraved in the order of the names of Bnei-Yisrael, twelve according to their names, like the etchings of a signet seal, one corresponding to each name of the twelve tribes.

22“Also you are to make, upon the breastplate, braided chains of wreathed work from pure gold.

23Forge on the breastplate two rings of gold and fasten the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.

24Then attach the two wreathed chains of gold on the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.

25The other two ends of the chains you are to place on the two settings, and put them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod in front.

26So you are to make two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it that is toward the inner side of the ephod.

27Also make two gold rings and place them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod underneath, in the front, close to where it is joined, above the artfully woven band of the ephod.

28Then they will bind the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue thread, so that it may be on the skillfully woven band of the ephod, and so that the breastplate will not come loose from it.
