11. In the second row they put turquoise, sapphire, and crystal.
12. In the third row they put jacinth, agate, and amethyst.
13. In the fourth row they put beryl, onyx, and gray quartz. The stones were mounted in gold settings.
14. They corresponded to the 12 sons of Israel, by name, each stone engraved (like a signet ring) with the name of one of the 12 tribes.
15. For the breastplate they made chains out of pure gold, twisted like ropes.
16. They made two gold settings and two gold rings and attached the two rings to the ⌊top⌋ two corners of the breastplate.
17. They fastened the two gold ropes to the rings at the ⌊top⌋ corners of the breastplate.
18. They fastened the other ends of the ropes to the two settings on the shoulder straps of the ephod ⌊so that the breastplate hung⌋ in front of it.
19. They made two gold rings and fastened them to the other two corners of the breastplate on the inside edge next to the ephod.
20. They made two ⌊more⌋ gold rings and fastened them to the bottom of the shoulder straps on the front of the ephod. This was close to the seam just above the belt of the ephod.
21. Then they fastened the breastplate by its rings to the rings of the ephod with a violet cord. So the breastplate was attached just above the belt of the ephod and was held in place. They followed the Lord’s instructions to Moses.
22. They made the robe that is worn with the ephod, woven entirely of violet yarn.
23. The opening in the center of the robe had a finished edge (like a leather collar ) all around it to keep it from tearing.
24. On the hem of the robe they made pomegranates of violet, purple, and bright red yarn, and fine yarn.
