Exodus 39:8-14 ▼

8 He also made the embroidered breastpiece with the same workmanship as the ephod of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and of finely spun linen.

9 They made the breastpiece square and folded double, nine inches long and nine inches wide.

10 They mounted four rows of gemstones on it. The first row was a row of carnelian, topaz, and emerald;

11 the second row, a turquoise, a lapis lazuli, and a diamond;

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

13 and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They were surrounded with gold filigree in their settings.

14 The twelve stones corresponded to the names of Israel’s sons. Each stone was engraved like a seal with one of the names of the twelve tribes.
