Exodus 28:17-25 New King James Version (NKJV)

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.
