Exodus 28:5-21 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

5. “And they shall take the gold, and the blue and the purple and the scarlet material, and the fine linen,

6. and shall make the shoulder garment of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine woven linen, the work of a skilled workman.

7. “It is to have two shoulder pieces joined at its two edges, and so it is joined together.

8. “And the embroidered band of the shoulder garment, which is on it, is of the same workmanship, made of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine woven linen.

9. “And you shall take two shoham stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Yisra’ĕl,

10. six of their names on one stone, and the remaining six names on the other stone, according to their birth.

11. “With the work of an engraver in stone, like the engravings of a signet, engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Yisra’ĕl. Set them in settings of gold.

12. “And you shall put the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the shoulder garment as stones of remembrance for the sons of Yisra’ĕl. And Aharon shall bear their names before יהוה on his two shoulders, for a remembrance.

13. “And you shall make settings of gold,

14. and two chains of clean gold like braided cords, and fasten the braided chains to the settings.

15. “And you shall make a breastplate of right-ruling, a work of a skilled workman, like the work of the shoulder garment. Make it of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine woven linen.

16. “It is square, doubled, a span its length, and a span its width.

17. “And you shall put settings of stones in it, four rows of stones: The first row is a ruby, a topaz, and an emerald;

18. and the second row is a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond;

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

20. and the fourth row is a beryl, and a shoham, and a jasper. They are set in gold settings.

21. “And the stones are according to the names of the sons of Yisra’ĕl, twelve according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, each one with its own name, for the twelve tribes.
