9. It was square. They made the breastplate double. Its length was a span, and its width a span, being double.
10. They set in it four rows of stones. A row of ruby, topaz, and beryl was the first row;
11. and the second row, a turquoise, a sapphire, and an emerald;
12. and the third row, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;
13. and the fourth row, a chrysolite, an onyx, and a jasper. They were enclosed in gold settings.
14. The stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, everyone according to his name, for the twelve tribes.
