Exodus 28:13-22 Modern English Version (MEV)

13. You shall make filigree settings of gold,

14. and two chains of pure gold. You shall make them of twisted cord and fasten the braided chains to the filigree settings.

15. You shall make the breastplate of judgment, the work of a skillful workman. You shall make it in the same manner as the ephod. Of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twisted linen you shall make it.

16. It is to be square when doubled: a span in length and a span in width.

17. You shall set in it four rows of stones. The first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle;

18. the second row an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond;

19. the third row a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

20. and the fourth row a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They shall be set in gold filigree.

21. The stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, each like the engravings of a signet, every one according to his name for the twelve tribes.

22. You shall make for the breastplate braided chains of pure gold.
