Context of Exodus 39:14

12In the third row were a jacinth, an agate and an amethyst, 13and in the fourth row were a beryl, an onyx and a jasper. They were enclosed in fittings of gold within their settings. The stones corresponded to the names of Bnei-Yisrael, like the engravings of a signet seal, each one according to its name for the twelve tribes. 15They attached braided chains to the breastplate, of wreathed work from pure gold. 16They made two settings of gold, and two golden rings, and set the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
