Exodus 39:8 In-Context

6 They put the onyx stones in fancy gold settings. They carved the names of the sons of Israel on them. They did it the way a person carves a seal.
7 Then they connected them to the shoulder straps of the linen apron. The stones stood for the sons of Israel and were a reminder for them. The workers did those things just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
8 Skilled workers made the chest cloth. They made it like the linen apron. They used fine gold wire, and blue, purple and bright red yarn, and finely twisted linen.
9 The chest cloth was nine inches square. It was folded in half.
10 They put four rows of valuable jewels on it. A ruby, a topaz and a beryl were in the first row.
