New Testament

Exodus 28:15-23 New English Translation (NET)

15. “You are to make a breastpiece for use in making decisions, the work of an artistic designer; you are to make it in the same fashion as the ephod; you are to make it of gold, blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twisted linen.

16. It is to be square when doubled, nine inches long and nine inches wide.

17. You are to set in it a setting for stones, four rows of stones, a row with a ruby, a topaz, and a beryl – the first row;

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

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

20. and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They are to be enclosed in gold in their filigree settings.

21. The stones are to be for the names of the sons of Israel, twelve, according to the number of their names. Each name according to the twelve tribes is to be like the engravings of a seal.

22. “You are to make for the breastpiece braided chains like cords of pure gold,

23. and you are to make for the breastpiece two gold rings and attach the two rings to the upper two ends of the breastpiece.
