11
With the work of an engraver in stone,
like the engravings of a seal, shalt thou engrave those two stones with the names of the sons of Israel; thou shalt make them to be set in settings of gold.
12
And thou shalt put the two stones upon the shoulders of the ephod
for stones of memorial unto the sons of Israel, and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD upon his two shoulders for a memorial.
13
And thou shalt make the settings
of gold
14
and two small chains
of pure gold;
of wreathen work shalt thou make them and fasten the wreathen chains to the settings.
15
And in the same manner thou shalt make the pectoral of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it,
of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and
of fine twined linen.
16
It shall be square and double; a span
shall be the length thereof, and a span
shall be the breadth thereof.
17
And thou shalt fill it with four rows of stones; The order
shall be a ruby, an emerald, and a chrysolite;
this shall be the first order.
18
And the second order
shall be a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond.
19
And the third order, a topaz, a turquoise, and an amethyst.
20
And the fourth row a tarshish
(or beryl) and an onyx and a jasper; they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.
21
And those stones shall be in agreement with the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, in agreement with their names; each one in agreement with his name like the engravings of a seal; they shall be according to the twelve tribes.
