Exodus 28:15-21
New Catholic Bible
15 The Breastplate.“You shall make a breastplate of judgment with skilled craftsmanship, the same as was used on the ephod. Make it of gold, blue, purple, and scarlet cloth and fine twisted linen. 16 It is to be square and doubled over, a span in length and a span in width. 17 Then cover it with settings of precious stones arranged in four rows. The first row shall have a ruby, a topaz, and an emerald. 18 The second row shall have a turquoise, a sapphire, and a diamond. 19 The third row shall have a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst. 20 The fourth row shall have a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. Mount them in gold filigree settings. 21 The stones shall correspond to the names of the children of Israel. There are to be twelve, standing for their names, each with engravings like that of a signet ring, each of them corresponding to a name of one of the twelve tribes.

Exodus 28:15-21
King James Version
15 And thou shalt make the breastplate of judgment with cunning work; after the work of the ephod thou shalt make it; of gold, of blue, and of purple, and of scarlet, and of fine twined linen, shalt thou make it.
16 Foursquare it shall be being doubled; a span shall be the length thereof, and a span shall be the breadth thereof.
17 And thou shalt set in it settings of stones, even four rows of stones: the first row shall be a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this shall be the first row.
18 And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.
19 And the third row a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.
20 And the fourth row a beryl, and an onyx, and a jasper: they shall be set in gold in their inclosings.
21 And the stones shall be with the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet; every one with his name shall they be according to the twelve tribes.
