Christian Standard Bible

The Breastpiece

15 “You(A) are to make an embroidered breastpiece for making decisions.[a] Make it with the same workmanship as the ephod; make it of gold, of blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and of finely spun linen. 16 It must be square and folded double, nine inches long and nine inches wide.[b] 17 Place a setting of gemstones[c] on it, four rows of stones:

The first row should be

a row of carnelian, topaz, and emerald;[d]

18 the second row,

a turquoise,[e] a lapis lazuli, and a diamond;[f]

19 the third row,

a jacinth,[g] an agate, and an amethyst;

20 and the fourth row,

a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper.

They should be adorned with gold filigree in their settings. 21 The twelve stones are to correspond to the names of Israel’s sons. Each stone must be engraved like a seal, with one of the names of the twelve tribes.
