Exodus 39:8-14 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

8. The breastpiece was embroidered like the ephod, with gold thread and violet, purple, and scarlet yarn on cloth of fine linen twined.

9. It was square and folded double, a span high and a span wide in its folded form.

10. Four rows of precious stones were mounted on it: in the first row a carnelian, a topaz, and an emerald;

11. in the second row, a garnet, a sapphire, and a beryl;

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

13. in the fourth row a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They were mounted in gold filigree work.

14. These stones were twelve, to match the names of the sons of Israel, and each stone was engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.
