15 And thou shalt make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skilful workman; like the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, shalt thou make it. 16 Foursquare it shall be and double; a span shall be the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof. 17 And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, four rows of stones: a row of [a]sardius, topaz, and [b]carbuncle shall be the first row; 18 and the second row an [c]emerald, a sapphire, and a [d]diamond; 19 and the third row a [e]jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst; 20 and the fourth row a [f]beryl, and an [g]onyx, and a jasper: they shall be inclosed in gold in their settings. 21 And the stones shall be according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names; like the engravings of a signet, every one according to his name, they shall be for the twelve tribes.
