12 And thou shalt put these two stones on the shoulders of the ephod: these are stones in remembrance to the children of Israel; and Aaron shall bear their names before the LORD on both his shoulders for remembrance.

13 And thou shalt make nests of gold;

14 And thou shalt make two chains of pure gold, and make them twisted, and fasten the twisted chains to the sockets.

15 Thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment a skilful workmanship; Thou shalt make it the same work as the ephod: of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and of fine woven linen, thou shalt make it;

16 It shall be quadrangular, double, a span long, and a span wide;

17 And thou shalt set in it the set stones in four rows; next to it: ruby, topaz, emerald – this is one row;

18 second row: carbuncle, sapphire and diamond;

19 Third row: yakhont, agate and amethyst;

20 fourth row: chrysolite, onyx and jasper; they must be inserted in the golden sockets.

21 And these stones shall be twelve, according to the number of the children of Israel, according to their names. on each, as on a seal, one name from among the twelve tribes should be carved.

22 For the breastplate thou shalt make chains twisted with plaited work of pure gold;

23 And thou shalt make two rings of gold to the breastplate, and fasten the two rings to the two ends of the breastplate.

24 and in a day two braided chains of gold in both rings at the ends of the breastplate,

25 And the two ends of the two chains shall be fastened to the two sockets, and thou shalt fasten them to the shoulders of the ephod on the front of it.
