8 And they made the breastplate, the work of an artist, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet material, and fine twined linen. 9 It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double; a span was its length and a span its breadth, being doubled. 10 And they set it in four rows of stones; the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and an emerald; this was the first row. 11 And the second row, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a jasper. 12 And the third row, a jacinth, a carnelian, and an amethyst. 13 And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper; they were inclosed and set in the work of gold in their inclosings. 14 And the stones were according to the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to their names, engraved like the engravings of signets, everyone with his name, according to the twelve tribes.
