Exodus 28:9-12 ▼

9 You shall take two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the [twelve] sons of Israel,

10 six of their names on one stone and the remaining six names on the other stone, arranged in the order of their births.

11 With the work of a jeweler, like the engravings of a signet, you shall engrave the two stones according to the names of the sons of Israel. You shall have them set in filigree [settings] of gold.

12 You shall put the two stones on the [two] shoulder pieces of the ephod [of the high priest], as memorial stones for Israel; and Aaron shall bear their names on his two shoulders as a memorial before the LORD.
