Exodus 39:9 In-Context

7 And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod, [that they should be] stones for a memorial to the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses.

8 And he made the breast-plate [of] curious work, like the work of the ephod; [of] gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

9 It was foursquare; they made the breast-plate double: a span [was] the length of it, and a span the breadth of it, [being] doubled.

10 And they set in it four rows of stones: [the first] row [was] a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this [was] the first row.

11 And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
