    8¶ And he made the breastplate of cunning work, like the work of the ephod; of gold, blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.

    9It was foursquare; they made the breastplate double: a span was the length thereof, and a span the breadth thereof, being doubled.

    10And they set in it four rows of stones: the first row was a sardius, a topaz, and a carbuncle: this was the first row.

    11And the second row, an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond.

    12And the third row, a ligure, an agate, and an amethyst.

    13And the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper: they were inclosed in ouches of gold in their inclosings.

    14And the stones were according to the names of the children of Israel, twelve, according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, every one with his name, according to the twelve tribes.

    15And they made upon the breastplate chains at the ends, of wreathen work of pure gold.

    16And they made two ouches of gold, and two gold rings; and put the two rings in the two ends of the breastplate.

    17And they put the two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings on the ends of the breastplate.

    19And they made two rings of gold, and put them on the two ends of the breastplate, upon the border of it, which was on the side of the ephod inward.

    20And they made two other golden rings, and put them on the two sides of the ephod underneath, toward the forepart of it, over against the other coupling thereof, above the curious girdle of the ephod.

    21And they did bind the breastplate by his rings unto the rings of the ephod with a lace of blue, that it might be above the curious girdle of the ephod, and that the breastplate might not be loosed from the ephod; as the Lord commanded Moses.
