5. and a wide belt from the same colors, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
6. He also prepared two onyx stones, set and enclosed in gold, and engraved with the skill of a jeweler, with the names of the sons of Israel.
7. And he set them in the sides of the ephod, as a memorial to the sons of Israel, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
8. He also made a breastplate, wrought with embroidery, according to the work of the ephod, from gold, hyacinth, purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine twisted linen:
9. with four equal sides, doubled, of the measure of the palm of a hand.
10. And he set four rows of gems in it. In the first row was a sardius stone, a topaz, an emerald;
11. in the second was a garnet, a sapphire, and a jasper;
12. in the third was a zircon, an agate, and an amethyst;
13. in the fourth was a chrysolite, an onyx, and a beryl, surrounded and enclosed in gold by their rows.
14. And these twelve stones were engraved with the names of the twelve tribes of Israel, each one with a single name.
15. They also made, in the breastplate, little chains linked to one another, from the purest gold,
16. and two hooks, and the same number of gold rings. Moreover, they set the rings at both sides of the breastplate,
17. from which two golden chains would hang, which they connected with the hooks that projected from the corners of the ephod.
18. These were both in front and in back so that they met one another, and so that the ephod and the breastplate were woven together,
19. being fastened to the wide belt and strongly coupled with rings, to which a hyacinth band was joined, lest they should shake loose and be moved away from one another, just as the Lord instructed Moses.
20. They also made the tunic of the ephod entirely from hyacinth,
21. with the head in the upper part at the middle, and a woven edge all around the head.
22. Then, at the feet below, they also made pomegranates from hyacinth, purple, vermillion, and fine twisted linen,
