9 Get two onyx stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Israel:

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

11 As a gem-cutter engraves a seal, so shall you have the two stones engraved with the names of the sons of Israel and then mounted in gold filigree work.

12 Set these two stones on the shoulder straps of the ephod as memorial stones of the sons of Israel. Thus Aaron shall bear their names on his shoulders as a reminder before the LORD.
