16. It shall be doubled into a square: a span shall be its length, and a span shall be its width.
17. And you shall put settings of stones in it, four rows of stones: The first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and an emerald; this shall be the first row;
18. the second row shall be a turquoise, 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 settings.
21. And the stones shall have the names of the sons of Israel, twelve according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, each one with its own name; they shall be according to the twelve tribes.
22. “You shall make chains for the breastplate at the end, like braided cords of pure gold.
23. And you shall make two rings of gold for the breastplate, and put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate.
24. Then you shall put the two braided chains of gold in the two rings which are on the ends of the breastplate;
25. and the other two ends of the two braided chains you shall fasten to the two settings, and put them on the shoulder straps of the ephod in the front.
26. “You shall make two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, on the edge of it, which is on the inner side of the ephod.
27. And two other rings of gold you shall make, and put them on the two shoulder straps, underneath the ephod toward its front, right at the seam above the intricately woven band of the ephod.
28. They shall bind the breastplate by means of its rings to the rings of the ephod, using a blue cord, so that it is above the intricately woven band of the ephod, and so that the breastplate does not come loose from the ephod.
