13. The fourth row contained a blue-green beryl, an onyx, and a green jasper. All these stones were set in gold filigree.
14. Each stone represented one of the twelve sons of Israel, and the name of that tribe was engraved on it like a seal.
15. To attach the chestpiece to the ephod, they made braided cords of pure gold thread.
16. They also made two settings of gold filigree and two gold rings and attached them to the top corners of the chestpiece.
17. They tied the two gold cords to the rings on the chestpiece.
18. They tied the other ends of the cords to the gold settings on the shoulder-pieces of the ephod.
19. Then they made two more gold rings and attached them to the inside edges of the chestpiece next to the ephod.
20. Then they made two more gold rings and attached them to the front of the ephod, below the shoulder-pieces, just above the knot where the decorative sash was fastened to the ephod.
21. They attached the bottom rings of the chestpiece to the rings on the ephod with blue cords. In this way, the chestpiece was held securely to the ephod above the decorative sash. All this was done just as the lord had commanded Moses.
22. Bezalel made the robe that is worn with the ephod from a single piece of blue woven cloth,
23. with an opening for Aaron’s head in the middle of it. The opening was reinforced with a woven collar so it would not tear.
24. They made pomegranates of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and attached them to the hem of the robe.
25. They also made bells of pure gold and placed them between the pomegranates along the hem of the robe,
26. with bells and pomegranates alternating all around the hem. This robe was to be worn whenever the priest ministered before the lord, just as the lord had commanded Moses.
27. They made tunics for Aaron and his sons from fine linen cloth.
28. The turban and the special head coverings were made of fine linen, and the undergarments were also made of finely woven linen.
