Exodus 39:8-21

8He made the breastplate, the work of a skillful craftsman, like the work of the ephod, of gold, blue, purple, scarlet and finely twisted linen.

9It was square and folded doubled, a span long and a span wide.

10They mounted within it four rows of stones. A row of ruby, topaz and emerald were the first row.

11In the second row were a turquoise, a sapphire and a diamond.

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.

14The 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.

17They attached the two golden chains to the two rings at the ends of the breastplate.

18The other two ends of the chains they placed on the two settings, and fastened them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, in the front.

19They also made two golden rings, and set them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge that was toward the side of the ephod facing inward.

20They made two more rings of gold, and put them on the two shoulder pieces of the ephod underneath, in the front, enclosed by their coupling, above the artfully woven band of the ephod.

21Then they bound the breastplate by the rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue thread, so that it would rest on the artfully woven band and not be loosened from the ephod, as Adonai commanded Moses.
