New Testament

Exodus 28:11-17 God's Word Translation (GW)

11. Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the same way a jeweler engraves a signet ring. Mount them in gold settings,

12. and fasten them on the shoulder straps of the ephod as reminders of who the Israelites are. In this way Aaron will carry their names on his shoulders as a reminder in the Lord’s presence.

13. Make gold settings

14. and two chains of pure gold, twisted like ropes, and fasten these chains to the settings.

15. “Make the breastplate for decision-making as creatively as you make the ephod. Make it out of gold, violet, purple, and bright red yarn and out of fine linen yarn.

16. Fold it in half so that it’s 9 inches square.

17. Fasten four rows of precious stones on it. In the first row put red quartz, topaz, and emerald.
