Exodus 28:9-12 ▼

9 You are to take two onyx stones and engrave the names of the sons of Israel on them,

10 six of their names on one stone, and the six remaining names on the other stone. Engrave them according to their order of birth.

11 With work like a jeweler engraves on a signet, you are to inscribe the two stones with the names of the sons of Israel, and you are to mount them in settings of gold filigree.

12 You are to put the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the ephod as stones of remembrance representing the sons of Israel, and Aaron is to carry their names into the LORD's presence on his two shoulders as a memorial.
