⁹ “Take two onyx stones and engrave^(A) on them the names of the sons of Israel ¹⁰ in the order of their birth—six names on one stone and the remaining six on the other. ¹¹ Engrave the names of the sons of Israel on the two stones the way a gem cutter engraves a seal. Then mount the stones in gold filigree settings

²¹ There are to be twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel,^(A) each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.^(B)

³⁶ “Make a plate^(A) of pure gold and engrave on it as on a seal: holy to the Lord.^(B)

The Breastpiece^(A)

⁸ They fashioned the breastpiece^(B)—the work of a skilled craftsman. They made it like the ephod: of gold, and of blue, purple and scarlet yarn, and of finely twisted linen. ⁹ It was square—a span^[a] long and a span wide—and folded double. ¹⁰ Then they mounted four rows of precious stones on it. The first row was carnelian, chrysolite and beryl; ¹¹ the second row was turquoise, lapis lazuli and emerald; ¹² the third row was jacinth, agate and amethyst; ¹³ the fourth row was topaz, onyx and jasper.^[b] They were mounted in gold filigree settings. ¹⁴ There were twelve stones, one for each of the names of the sons of Israel, each engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.^(C)
