Shemot 39:9-17 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

9. It was ravu'a (square); they made the Choshen folded double; a span was the length thereof, and a span the width thereof, being doubled.

10. And they set in it four rows of gemstones; the first row was an odem, a pitdah, and barekes; this was the first row.

11. And the second row, a nofech, sapphire, and yahalom.

12. And the third row, a leshem, shevo, and achlamah.

13. And the fourth row, a tarshish, shoham, and yashfeh; they were set in zahav in their settings.

14. And the gemstones were according to the Shemot Bnei Yisroel, Shteym Esreh (Twelve), according to their Shemot, like the engravings of a chotam (signet ring), every one with shmo, according to the Shnei Asar Shevet.

15. And they made upon the Choshen sharsherot (chains) at the ends braided artistic work of zahav tahor.

16. And they made two mishbetzot (filigrees) of zahav, and two rings of zahav; and put the two rings in the two ends of the Choshen.

17. And they fastened the two ropes of zahav into the two rings on the ends of the Choshen.
