8 He also made a breastplate, wrought with embroidery, according to the work of the ephod, from gold, hyacinth, purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen:

9 with four equal sides, doubled, of the measure of the palm of a hand.

10 And he set four rows of gems in it. In the first row was a sardius stone, a topaz, an emerald;

11 in the second was a garnet, a sapphire, and a jasper;

12 in the third was a zircon, an agate, and an amethyst;

13 in the fourth was a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl, surrounded and enclosed in gold by their rows.

14 And these twelve stones were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, each one with a single name.
