5
And the special girdle of his ephod, that
was over it,
was of the same, according to the work thereof:
of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen as the LORD had commanded Moses.
6
And they wrought onyx stones inclosed in settings of gold, graven, as seals are graven, with the names of the sons of Israel.
7
And he put them on the shoulders of the ephod
that they should be stones for a memorial to the sons of Israel, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
8
He also made the pectoral
of cunning work, like the work of the ephod
of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen.
9
It was square; they made the pectoral double; a span
was the length thereof and a span the breadth thereof,
being doubled.
10
And they set in it four orders of stones. The order was a ruby, an emerald, and a chrysolite: this
was the first order.
11
The second order, a carbuncle, a sapphire, and a diamond.
12
The third order, a topaz, a turquoise, and an amethyst.
13
And the fourth order, a tarshish
(or beryl), an onyx, and a jasper;
they were set and inclosed in their settings of gold.
14
The stones
were in agreement with the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, in agreement with their names,
like the engravings of a seal, each one in agreement with his name, according to the twelve tribes.
15
They also made the small chains upon the pectoral
of wreathen work
of pure gold.
16
In the same manner they made two settings
of gold and two gold rings and put the two rings in the two ends of the pectoral.
17
And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in those two rings on the ends of the pectoral.
18
And the two ends of the two wreathen chains they fastened in the two settings, which they put on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, on the front part of it.
19
And they made two rings of gold and put
them on the two ends of the pectoral upon the border of it, which was on the lower side of the ephod.
20
And they made two
other golden rings and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath toward the front part of it, in the front of its coupling, above the special girdle of the ephod.
21
And they bound the pectoral by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a blue lace, that it might be above the special girdle of the ephod and that the pectoral might not be loosed from the ephod, as the LORD had commanded Moses.
22
And he made the robe of the ephod of woven work, all
of blue,
23
with its collar in the midst of the robe, as the collar of a habergeon,
with a band round about the collar that it should not rend.
24
And they made upon the hems of the robe pomegranates
of blue, purple, scarlet,
and twined
linen.
25
They also made the bells
of pure gold and put the bells between the pomegranates upon the hem of the robe, round about between the pomegranates;
