10 Four rows of precious stones were mounted on it: in the first row a carnelian, a topaz, and an emerald;

11 in the second row, a garnet, a sapphire, and a beryl;

12 in the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

13 in the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They were mounted in gold filigree work.

14 These stones were twelve, to match the names of the sons of Israel, and each stone was engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.
